Shareholder's Equity and Redeemable Preferred Equity

Note 5. Shareholders' Equity and Redeemable Preferred Equity

The Company's declaration of trust authorizes it to issue 750,000,000 common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, and 20,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share. The Board of Trustees has the power, without shareholder approval, to increase or decrease the number of common shares the Company is authorized to issue.

Issuance of Common Shares

SMTA was originally capitalized on November 17, 2017 with the issuance of 10,000 common shares of beneficial interest ($0.01 par value per share) for a total of $10,000.

On May 31, 2018, the distribution date, Spirit completed the Spin-Off of SMTA. On the distribution date, Spirit distributed on a pro rata basis one SMTA common share for every ten shares of Spirit common stock held by each of Spirit's stockholders as of May 18, 2018, which was the record date. As a result, 42,851,010 SMTA common shares were issued on May 31, 2018.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company declared $14.2 million and $28.5 million, respectively, in SMTA common share dividends and had 43,159,931 common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2019. The Company did not declare or pay any dividends on its common shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Issuance of SMTA Preferred Shares

In conjunction with the Spin-Off, SMTA issued to the Manager and one of its affiliates, also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Spirit, 6.0 million Series A preferred shares with an aggregate liquidation preference of $150.0 million (the "SMTA Preferred Shares"). Redemption value of the SMTA Preferred Shares is equal to the liquidation preference plus any accrued and unpaid dividends and redemption is under the control of SMTA unless a change of control event occurs, as defined in the SMTA Preferred Shares agreements. Therefore, as redemption may occur outside the control of SMTA, the SMTA Preferred Shares are classified as temporary equity.

The SMTA Preferred Shares pay cash dividends at the rate of 10.0% per annum on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (equivalent to $0.625 per share on a quarterly basis and $2.50 per share on an annual basis). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company paid $3.8 million and $7.5 million in SMTA Preferred Shares dividends, respectively, and had 6.0 million shares of 10.0% SMTA Preferred Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Issuance of SubREIT Preferred Shares

Prior to the Spin-Off, in exchange for property, SubREIT issued to the Manager 5,000 shares of Series A preferred shares with an aggregate liquidation preference of $5.0 million (the "SubREIT Preferred Shares"). The Series A SubREIT Preferred Shares pay cash dividends at the rate of 18.0% per annum on the liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share (equivalent to $45.00 per share on a quarterly basis and $180.00 per share on an annual basis). On December 19, 2018, SubREIT issued 125 Shares of Series B SubREIT Preferred Shares with an aggregate liquidation preference of $125 thousand. Series B SubREIT Preferred Shares pay cash dividends at the rate of 12.0% per annum on the liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share (equivalent to $30.00 per share on a quarterly basis and $120.00 per share on an annual basis).

Redemption value of the SubREIT Preferred Shares is equal to the liquidation preference plus any accrued and unpaid dividends and redemption is under the control of SubREIT unless a change of control event occurs, as defined in the SubREIT Preferred Shares agreements. Therefore, as redemption may occur outside the control of SubREIT, the SubREIT

Preferred Shares are classified as temporary equity. In conjunction with the Spin-Off, the Manager sold the SubREIT Preferred Shares to a third-party.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company paid $233 thousand and $458 thousand, respectively, in SubREIT Preferred Shares dividends and had 5,125 shares of the SubREIT Preferred Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Share Repurchase Program

In December 2018, the Company's Board of Trustees approved a share repurchase program, which authorized repurchases of up to $50.0 million of the Company's common shares. These repurchases can be made in the open market or through private transactions. The amount and timing of repurchases is dependent on the Board of Trustees' assessment of the capital needs of the Company. No repurchases have been made under the program as of June 30, 2019.
