Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Series B Preferred Stock on the initial pricing date of the Series B Preferred Stock or the next two succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Series B Preferred Stock initially will settle in T+5, to specify alternative settlement arrangements at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.

Dividend Rate:   

From and including the original issue date to, but excluding, August 15, 2023 (the “Fixed Rate Period”), at an annual rate of 8.50%, based on the $25.00 liquidation preference per annum.

 

On and after August 15, 2023 (the “Floating Rate Period”), at an annual rate equal to the sum of (a) Three-Month LIBOR as calculated on each applicable Date of Determination and (b) 5.687% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series B Preferred Stock.

Dividend Payment Date:   

Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall accrue daily and be cumulative from, and including, the date of original issue and shall be payable quarterly on the 15th day of each January, April, July and October (each such payment date, a “Dividend Payment Date,” and each such quarterly period, a “Dividend Period”).

 

During the Fixed Rate Period, if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on such Dividend Payment Date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional dividends or other sums will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Dividend Payment Date to that next succeeding Business Day.

 

During the Floating Rate Period, if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the Dividend Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and all associated dividends and other sums will continue to accrue to, but excluding, the postponed Dividend Payment Date.

 

The first dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock is scheduled to be paid on October 15, 2018 in the amount of $0.36597 per share to the persons who are the holders of record of the Series B Preferred Stock at the close of business on October 1, 2018.


Liquidation Preference:    $25.00 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions.

If the Issuer elects to redeem any shares of Series B Preferred Stock as described in this paragraph, the Issuer may use any available cash to pay the redemption price.
Special Optional Redemption:    Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, provided no Limiting Document may prohibit it, the Issuer may, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice, redeem the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, for cash, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, the Issuer has provided notice of the Issuer’s election to redeem some or all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock (whether pursuant to the Issuer’s optional redemption right described above or this special optional redemption right), the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock will not have the Change of Control Conversion Right with respect to the shares called for redemption. If the Issuer elects to redeem any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock as described in this paragraph, it may use any available cash to pay the redemption price.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock will have the right (unless, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, the Issuer has provided or provide irrevocable notice of the Issuer’s election to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock) to convert some or all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date, into the Common Stock Conversion Consideration, which is equal to the lesser of:

 

•  the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series B Preferred Stock plus the amount of any accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but not including, the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a record date for a Series B Preferred Stock dividend payment and prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, in which case no additional amount for such accumulated and unpaid dividend will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Stock Price; and

 

•  2.00 shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments described in the prospectus supplement.

Listing:    The Issuer intends to apply to have the Series B Preferred Stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). If the application is approved, the Issuer expects trading of the Series B Preferred Stock on the NYSE to begin within 30 days after their original issue date.
