Note 7 Shareholders’ Equity

Common shares

At a special meeting of shareholders held April 20, 2020, our shareholders authorized the Reverse Stock Split, as described in greater detail in Note 1—General.

Convertible Preferred Shares

During 2018, we issued 5.75 million of our 6% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares (the “mandatory convertible preferred shares”), par value $0.001 per share, with a liquidation preference of $50 per share. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 we had 4.9 million and 5.6 million mandatory convertible preferred shares outstanding.

The dividends on the mandatory convertible preferred shares are payable on a cumulative basis at a rate of 6% annually on the initial liquidation preference of $50 per share. Dividends accumulate and are paid quarterly to the extent that we have available funds and our Board declares a dividend payable. We may elect to pay any accumulated and unpaid dividends in cash or common shares or any combination thereof. At issuance, each mandatory convertible preferred share was automatically convertible into between 0.1075 and 0.1290 of our common shares based on the average share price over a period of twenty consecutive trading days ending prior to May 1, 2021, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. As a result of the dividends paid on our common shares since the offering, the most recent publicly

announced conversion rate for each mandatory convertible preferred share is between 0.1144 and 0.1372 of our common shares. Adjustments to the conversion ratio are required to be made and published when such adjustment would result in an increase or decrease of one percent or more of the conversion rate. At any time prior to May 1, 2021, a holder of mandatory convertible preferred shares may convert such mandatory convertible preferred shares into our common shares at the minimum conversion rate, subject to adjustment. Otherwise, the mandatory convertible preferred shares will automatically convert into common shares on May 1, 2021.
