Share Repurchase Program

On April 21, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization to $200.0 million. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, and may include transactions pursuant to a repurchase plan administered in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Purchases may be made from time to time at the Company's discretion and the timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined based on share price, market conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares, and the Company may suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repurchased a total of 3,773,252 common shares at an average price per-share of $28.39 for a total of $107.2 million. As of September 30, 2020, $153.2 million remains available under the common share repurchase program.

(1) Represents number of shares authorized, issued, and outstanding.

In January 2020, the Company completed a public offering of the Series D shares and received $145.3 million in aggregate net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts of $4.7 million. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including the purchase of containers, the repurchase of outstanding common shares, the payment of dividends, and the repayment or repurchase of outstanding indebtedness.

Each Series of preferred shares may be redeemed at the Company's option, at any time after approximately five years from original issuance, in whole or in part at a redemption price, which is equal to the issue price, of $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared. The Company may also redeem each Series of preferred shares prior to the lapse of the five year period upon the occurrence of certain events as described in each agreement, such as transactions that either transfer ownership of substantially all assets to a single entity or establish a majority voting interest by a single entity, and cause a downgrade or withdrawal of rating by the rating agency within 60 days of the event. If the Company does not elect to redeem each Series, holders of preferred shares may have the right to convert their preferred shares into common shares.

Holders of preferred shares generally have no voting rights. If the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive), holders will be entitled to elect two additional directors to the Board of Directors and the size of the Board of Directors will be increased to accommodate such election. Such right to elect two directors will continue until such time as there are no accumulated and unpaid dividends in arrears.

Dividends

Dividends on shares of each Series are cumulative from the date of original issue and will be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. Dividends on shares of each Series will be payable equal to the applicable stated rate per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. The Series rank senior to the Company's common shares with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary.

The Company paid the following quarterly dividends during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 on its issued and outstanding Series (in millions except for per-share amounts):
