STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with par value of $0.01 per share. Preferred shares outstanding rank senior to common shares both as to dividends and liquidation preference but generally have no voting rights. All of our outstanding shares of preferred stock have a $1,000 per share liquidation preference. The following table presents our total outstanding preferred stock as of the dates indicated:

	June 30, 2020					December 31, 2019
($ in thousands)	Shares Outstanding	Liquidation Preference		Carrying Value		Shares Outstanding	Liquidation Preference		Carrying Value
Series D 7.375% non-cumulative perpetual	93,272	$	93,272	$	89,924	96,629	$	96,629	$	93,162
Series E 7.00% non-cumulative perpetual	98,865	98,865		95,113		100,477	100,477		96,663

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased depositary shares (Series D Depositary Shares), each representing a 1/40^th interest in a share of Series D Preferred Stock, liquidation amount of $1,000 per share of Series D Preferred Stock, resulting in the repurchase of 53,006 and 134,310 outstanding Series D Depositary Shares and the related retirement of 1,325 and 3,357 outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The repurchase price aggregated to $1.2 million and $2.7 million. The $40 thousand and $541 thousand difference between the consideration paid and the carrying value of the Series D Preferred Stock was reclassified to retained earnings and resulted in an increase to net (loss) income allocated to common stockholders.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased depositary shares (Series E Depositary Shares), each representing a 1/40^th interest in a share of Series E Preferred Stock, liquidation amount of $1,000 per share of Series E Preferred Stock, resulting in the repurchase of 57,065 and 64,465 outstanding Series E Depositary Shares and the related retirement of 1,427 and 1,612 outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock. The repurchase price aggregated to $1.4 million and $1.5 million. The $9 thousand and $34 thousand difference between the consideration paid and the carrying value of the Series E Preferred Stock was reclassified to retained earnings and resulted in an increase to net (loss) income allocated to common stockholders.

Share Repurchase Program

On February 10, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to $45 million of our common stock. The repurchase authorization expires in February 2021, however given current macroeconomic conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic, we have suspended common stock repurchases for the immediate future. There were no repurchases of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased 827,584 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $14.50 per share and an aggregate amount of $12.0 million. Purchases may be made in open-market transactions, in block transactions on or off an exchange, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means as determined by our management and in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The timing of purchases and the number of shares repurchased under the program will depend on a variety of factors including price, trading volume, corporate and regulatory requirements, and market conditions.
