The Articles Supplementary provide that the Company will pay, when and if authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company, cumulative cash dividends to the holders of the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock (i)from the date of issuance to, but not including, September27, 2027 at an initial rate of 7.50% of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $1.875 per annum per share) and (ii)from, and including, September27, 2027 and thereafter, at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR as calculated on each applicable date of determination plus a spread of 5.289% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per annum. Dividends will be payable quarterly in arrears, on the 27th day of March, June, September and December of each year (provided that if any dividend payment date is not a business day, then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on that dividend payment date may be paid on the next succeeding business day), commencing on December27, 2017.

In addition, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company may, at its option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem any or all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of Series C Preferred Stock will have the right (subject to the Company’s election to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock in whole or in part, as described above, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined in the Articles Supplementary)) to convert some or all of the Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of shares of Common Stock per share of Series C Preferred Stock determined by a formula, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Articles Supplementary, including provisions for the receipt, under specified circumstances, of alternative consideration.
The Series C Preferred Stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless repurchased or redeemed by the Company or converted into Common Stock in connection with a Change of Control by the holders of Series C Preferred Stock.
There are restrictions on ownership of the Series C Preferred Stock intended to preserve the Company’s qualification as a REIT.
