(14) Preferred Stock


The Company's certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of preferred stock, and on December 23, 2008, the Company completed the sale of 26,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Preferred Stock”) to the United States Treasury. The Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share and a related warrant was also issued to purchase 833,333 shares of HMN common stock at an exercise price of $4.68 per share. The transaction was part of the United States Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Under the terms of the certificate of designations for the Preferred Stock, dividend payments may be deferred, but the dividend is cumulative and compounds quarterly during the deferral period. In addition, if the Company fails to pay dividends for six quarters, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the Preferred Stock have the right to appoint two representatives to the Company’s board of directors. Treasury did not exercise this right. While dividends on the Preferred Stock are in arrears, no dividend may be paid on the common stock of the Company.


On May 15, 2014 the Company paid a dividend of $201.71 per share on the Company’s outstanding Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the Preferred Stock). The amount of the dividend represented all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods and for the dividend period ended on May 14, 2014. On May 15, 2014, the Company also redeemed 10,000 shares of outstanding Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis at $1,000 per share. Following the redemption, 16,000 shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding.


On July 22, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $22.50 per share on the Company’s outstanding Preferred Stock. The amount of the dividend represents all accrued and unpaid dividends for the dividend period ending on August 14, 2014. The dividend of $360,000 will be payable on August 15, 2014 to holders of record of the Preferred Stock on August 1, 2014.


Treasury continues to hold the warrant to purchase 833,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.68, which Treasury may sell in its discretion at any time, subject to applicable securities laws and the Company’s right to repurchase the warrant at fair market value under the terms of the Company’s agreements with Treasury. The warrant may be exercised at any time over its ten-year term, which expires on December 23, 2018, and Treasury has agreed not to exercise any voting rights received by acquiring common stock on the exercise of the warrant.
