Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders’ Rights Plan

In connection with the announced REIT transaction, our Board approved a Rights Agreement dated June 23, 2015, to deter any person from acquiring ownership of more than 9.8 percent of our common stock during the period leading up to the REIT transaction. Under the Rights Agreement, each share of our common stock had associated with it one right to purchase one thousandth of a share of our Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $156.26 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances to prevent dilution. On November 10, 2015, the Rights expired by their terms following completion of the spin-off of Four Corners. As a result, each share of our common stock is no longer accompanied by a Right. The holders of common stock are not entitled to any payment as a result of the expiration of the Rights Agreement and the Rights issued thereunder.
