The Series A Preferred Shares are otherwise not convertible into or exchangeable for property or shares of any other series or class of our capital stock. |
• | Voting Rights. So long as any Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of shareholders required by law or by our amended and restated articles of incorporation, the vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Series A Preferred Shares at the time outstanding, voting together as a separate class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, will be necessary for effecting or validating: (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of our amended and restated articles of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws that would alter or change the voting powers, preferences or special rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares so as to affect them adversely; (ii) the issuance of dividend parity stock if the accrued dividends on all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares through and including the most recently completed dividend period have not been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for payment; (iii) any amendment or alteration of our amended and restated articles of incorporation to authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any senior stock; or (iv) any consummation of (x) a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Series A Preferred Shares, (y) a merger or consolidation of the Company with another entity (whether or not a corporation), or (z) a conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance of the Company into another entity or an entity organized under the laws of another jurisdiction, unless in each case (A) the Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to the Company is not the surviving or resulting entity, or any such conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the Series A Preferred Shares are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (B) such shares remaining outstanding or such preference securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, limitations and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and restrictions and limitations thereof, of the Series A Preferred Shares immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole. The foregoing voting rights do not apply in connection with the creation or issuance of Series C Participating Preferred Shares of the Company substantially in the form approved by the Board pursuant to the Rights Agreement (as defined below). |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | Dividends. Dividends on our Series A Preferred Shares are cumulative and accrue, whether or not declared by our Board of Directors, however, such dividends are payable only when, as, and if declared by our Board of Directors. Dividends on our Series A Preferred Shares, to the extent declared, shall be paid biannually, on each June 30 and December 31, payable in cash or in kind (in the form of additional Series A Preferred Shares) or in a combination thereof, at our option, accruing at the applicable dividend rate per annum on the stated amount per Series A Preferred Share and on any unpaid accrued dividends. In each event of non-payment or payment in kind, the dividend rate then in effect shall increase by a factor of 1.33 (“Non-payment Rate Adjustment”) or 1.30 (“PIK Rate Adjustment”), respectively, from the day of such event onwards. On the day a previous non-payment is rectified by payment in cash, the relevant Non-payment Rate Adjustment will cease to apply. If a previous non-payment is rectified by payment in kind, the relevant Non-payment Rate Adjustment will cease to apply and the PIK Rate Adjustment will be permanently applied instead. Partial non-payments, payments in kind or rectifications of previous non-payments, will be treated proportionally. |
• | Maturity/Redemption. The Series A Preferred Shares are perpetual, non-redeemable and have no maturity date. |
• | Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, winding up of the Company or other Liquidation Event, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series A Preferred Shares shall have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (plus accrued dividends to the date fixed for payment of such amount (whether or not declared), and no more). A consolidation or merger of us with or into any other entity, individually or in a series of transactions, will not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs for this purpose. In the event that our assets available for distribution to holders of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares and all liquidation parity stock are insufficient to permit payment of all required amounts, our assets then remaining will be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Shares, as applicable, ratably on the basis of their relative aggregate liquidation preferences. After payment of all required amounts to the holders of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares and all holders of liquidation preference parity stock, our remaining assets and funds will be distributed among the holders of our common shares and any other Junior Stock then outstanding according to their respective rights. |
• | No Preemptive Rights; No Sinking Fund. The holders of Series A Preferred Shares do not have any preemptive rights. The Series A Preferred Shares will not be subject to any sinking fund or any other obligation of us for their repurchase or retirement. |
• | Conversion Rights. The Series B Preferred Shares are not convertible into our common shares. |
• | Voting Rights. Each Series B Preferred Share has the voting power of 1,000 common shares and counts for 1,000 votes for purposes of determining quorum at a meeting of shareholders, subject to adjustment to maintain a substantially identical voting interest in the Company following the (i) creation or issuance of a new series of shares of the Company carrying more than one vote per share to be issued to any person other than holders of the Series B Preferred Shares, except for the creation (but not the issuance) of Series C Participating Preferred Shares substantially in the form approved by the Board, without the prior affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares or (ii) issuance or approval of our common shares pursuant to and in accordance with the Rights Agreement (as defined below). The holders of Series B Preferred Shares and the holders of our common shares shall vote together |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | Distributions. The Series B Preferred Shares have no dividend or distribution rights, other than upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as described below. Also, if we declare or make any dividend or other distribution of voting securities of a subsidiary which we control to the holders of our common shares by way of a spin off or other similar transaction, then, in each such case, each holder of Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive preferred shares of the subsidiary whose voting securities are so distributed with at least substantially similar rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions as those of the Series B Preferred Shares. |
• | Maturity/Redemption. The Series B Preferred Shares are perpetual, non-redeemable and have no maturity date. |
• | Ranking, Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, Series B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive a payment on the same terms as, and rank pari-passu with, our common shares with respect thereto, up to an amount equal to the par value of $0.001 per share Series B Preferred Share. Holders of shares of this Series will have no other rights to distributions upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. |
• | No Preemptive Rights; No Sinking Fund. Holders of the Series B Preferred Shares do not have any preemptive rights. The Series B Preferred Shares will not be subject to any sinking fund or any other obligation of us for their repurchase or retirement. |
