Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' Equity
Common Stock
On September 17, 2018, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment (the "Certificate of Amendment") to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to remove all references to the Company's Series B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, therefrom and to redesignate the Company's Series A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, as "Common Stock." Following the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, the Company no longer has series of its class of common stock.
The Company's Board of Directors follows a policy of declaring, subject to legally available funds, a quarterly cash dividend on each share of the Company's Common Stock, unless the Company's Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise. The amount available to the Company to pay cash dividends is not currently restricted by its existing senior credit facility and its indentures governing its senior unsecured notes. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, the results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Company's Board of Directors may deem relevant.
The Company's Board of Directors approved increases in the Company's Common Stock cash dividend rates as follows:
