Series D Preferred Units (Mezzanine Equity). Series D preferred units outstanding were 165,600 preferred units as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Series D preferred units have a par value of $100 per preferred unit. The Series D preferred unit holders receive a preferred distribution at the rate of 3.862% per year and have a put option which allows the holder to redeem any or all of the Series D preferred units for cash equal to the issue price. Each Series D preferred unit is convertible, at the holder’s option, into 1.37931 Units. The Series D preferred units have an aggregate liquidation value of $16.6 million. Changes in the redemption value are based on changes in the trading value of common shares and are charged to common shares on the Consolidated Balance Sheets each quarter. The holders of the Series D preferred units do not have voting rights. Distributions to Series D unitholders are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Equity within net income (loss) attributable to controlling interests and noncontrolling interests.
Series C Preferred Shares. On August 30, 2024, we delivered notice to holders of our Series C preferred shares that we intended to redeem all 3.9 million Series C preferred shares at a redemption price equal to $25 per share plus any accrued but unpaid distributions per share up to and including the redemption date of September 30, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the Company completed the redemption of all the outstanding Series C preferred shares for an aggregate redemption price of $97.0 million, excluding distributions, which were $3.5 million in excess of the carrying value and are included in redemption of preferred shares on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Such shares were no longer outstanding as of December 31, 2024. Series C preferred shares outstanding were 3.9 million at December 31, 2023. The Series C preferred shares were nonvoting and redeemable for cash at $25 per share at Centerspace’s option. Holders of these shares were entitled to cumulative distributions, payable quarterly (as and if declared by the Board of Trustees). Distributions accrued at an annual rate of $1.65625 per share, which is equal to 6.625% of the $25 per share liquidation preference.
