Preferred Stock
Our Board of Directors is authorized under our charter, without further stockholder approval, to issue, from time to time, in one or more series, 10,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"), with specific rights, preferences and other attributes as the Board may determine, which may include preferences, powers and rights that are senior to the rights of holders of our common stock. However, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock may require stockholder approval pursuant to the rules and regulations of The New York Stock Exchange.
We account for the Preferred Stock in accordance with the Codification Topic "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity—SEC Materials" ("FASB ASC 480-10-S99"). Holders of the 6.75% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock") have certain preference rights with respect to the common stock and the Series C Preferred Stock is classified as redeemable interests inside of permanent equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheet due to the right of holders to convert such stock into common stock in certain circumstances involving a change of our control.
On December 30, 2013, in connection with the MHC Trust merger, we authorized 179,764 shares and issued 125 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock with a liquidation value of $1,000.00 per share, having substantially the same terms and same rights as shares of MHC Trust's 6% Series A Cumulative Non-Qualified Preferred Stock, and authorized and issued 250 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock with a liquidation value of $1,000.00 per share, having substantially the same terms and same rights as shares of MHC Trust's 18.75% Series B Cumulative Non-Voting Preferred Stock. On December 31, 2014, we redeemed all of our Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock. On February 12, 2015, we filed articles supplementary reclassifying 179,639 authorized but unissued shares of Series D Preferred Stock as shares of preferred stock without designation as to class or series, and confirming that 125 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and 250 shares of Series E Preferred Stock are now shares of preferred stock without designation as to class or series.
