Series A Preferred Shares

In December 2017, the Company issued 2,800,000 7.00% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) in a public offering at $25.00 per share.  The Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $66.4 million, after deducting payment of the underwriting discount and offering expenses.

The Company may not redeem the Series A Preferred Shares before December 14, 2022 except to preserve its status as a REIT or upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, as defined in the trust agreement addendum designating the Series A Preferred Shares.  On and after December 14, 2022, the Company may redeem any or all of the Series A Preferred Shares at $25.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company may redeem any or all of the Series A Preferred Shares for cash within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred at $25.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series A Preferred Shares have no stated maturity, are not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless the Company redeems or otherwise repurchases them or they are converted.

As previously disclosed, the Company declared a dividend on the Company’s Class A and Class C common shares for the first quarter of 2019 and has not declared dividends on the Company’s Class A and Class C common shares since that time, based on our Board of Trustees’ assessment of the Company’s investment opportunities and its expectations of taxable income for the remainder of 2021.  The Company intends to, at a minimum, make distributions to its shareholders to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code, which may be satisfied by dividends on the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares.
