2020 Redemption Price: $595/share (namely the Company’s current common stock offering price).

 

Record Date: October 7, 2020.

 

Number of Shares to be Redeemed: Up to 3,954 (the “Redemption Cap”), equal to 5% of the shares of common stock of the Company outstanding as of the Record Date. If total shares offered for redemption in the 2020 Redemption exceed the Redemption Cap, the Company may redeem shares up to the Redemption Cap on a pro rata basis.

 

Eligible Shares: Any shares purchased more than five (5) years prior to the Record Date. Based on the Record Date, shares must have been purchased prior to October 7, 2015 to be eligible for the 2020 Redemption.

 

Minimum Redemption: Subject to the Redemption Cap, stockholders must redeem a minimum of twenty (20) shares of common stock to participate in the 2020 Redemption. If a stockholder owns less than twenty (20) shares, the stockholder may participate if the stockholder redeems all of the eligible shares then owned by the stockholder.

 

Timing of Payment: The Company intends to issue payments under the 2020 Redemption within approximately ten (10) business days after the termination of the 2020 Redemption term.

 

Any Registered Shareholder seeking redemption of eligible shares in the 2020 Redemption must submit a completed Request for Redemption. Requests for Redemption must be received by the Company no later than 5:00pm CDT on Monday, November 16, 2020.
