Convertible Preferred Stock

Convertible Preferred Stock

Cumulative cash dividends on the preferred stock are payable at an annual rate of 6.5% quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, upon declaration of the dividend by our Board of Directors. Dividends accumulate from the most recent date on which dividends have been paid. First quarter CPS dividends of $10 million were paid in February 2022. In April 2022, our Board of Directors approved the payment of second quarter CPS dividends of $10 million, payable in May 2022.

Each share of CPS is convertible at the holder's option at any time into 44.9585 shares of our common stock per share of preferred stock. The conversion rate is subject to certain customary adjustments, but no payment or adjustment for accumulated but unpaid dividends will be made upon conversion, subject to certain limited exceptions. The preferred stock may not be redeemed by us; however, we may, at any time on or after May 20, 2022, elect to cause all outstanding shares of preferred stock to be converted into shares of our common stock at the conversion rate, subject to certain conditions (and, if such conversion occurs prior to May 20, 2024, the payment of a cash make-whole premium). The most significant condition to our ability to force a conversion prior to May 2024 is the requirement that our common stock trade above $28.92 for 20 consecutive trading days. We estimate that the cash make-whole payment would be $101 million on May 20, 2022 and would be $72 million at December 31, 2022 (assuming we minimally exceed the minimum trading price to invoke the conversion). If a make-whole fundamental change, as defined in the certificate of designations for the preferred stock, occurs, we will in certain circumstances be required to increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert shares of preferred stock in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.
