Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The disclosure set forth in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated into this Item 3.03 by reference.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year. Series E Preferred Stock
On
General; Transferability
Shares of Series E Preferred Stock will be uncertificated and represented in book-entry form. No shares of Series E Preferred Stock may be transferred by the holder thereof except in connection with a transfer by such holder of any shares of Common Stock held by such holder, in which case a number of one one-thousandth (1/1,000th) of a share of Series E Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock to be transferred by such holder will be automatically transferred to the transferee of such shares of Common Stock.
Voting Rights
Each share of Series E Preferred Stock will entitle the holder thereof to
1,000,000 votes per share (and, for the avoidance of doubt, each fraction of a
share of Series E Preferred Stock will have a ratable number of votes). Thus,
each one-thousandth of a share of Series E Preferred Stock will entitle the
holder thereof to 1,000 votes. The outstanding shares of Series E Preferred
Stock will vote together with the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company as a single class exclusively with respect to (1) any proposal submitted
to holders of Common Stock to approve an amendment to the Company's Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation, as currently in effect, to (A) (i) reduce
the liquidation preference of the Company's 10.875% Series A Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Shares, no par value per share (the "Series A Preferred
Stock"), to
Unless otherwise provided on any applicable proxy card or voting instructions with respect to the voting on the Common Charter Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, the vote of each share of Series E Preferred Stock (or fraction thereof) entitled to vote on the Common Charter Amendment Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal or any other matter brought before any meeting of shareholders held to vote on the Common Charter Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal shall be cast in the same manner as the vote, if any, of the share of Common Stock (or fraction thereof) in respect of which such share of Series E Preferred Stock (or fraction thereof) was issued as a dividend is cast on the Common Charter Amendment Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal or such other matter, as applicable, and the proxy card or voting instructions with respect to shares of Common Stock held by any holder on whose behalf such proxy card or voting instructions is submitted will be deemed to include all shares of Series E Preferred Stock (or fraction thereof) held by such holder. Holders of Series E Preferred Stock will not receive a separate proxy card or opportunity to cast votes with respect to the Series E Preferred Stock on the Common Charter Amendment Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal or any other matter brought before any meeting of shareholders held to vote on the Common Charter Amendment Proposal.
Dividend Rights
The holders of Series E Preferred Stock, as such, will not be entitled to receive dividends of any kind.
Liquidation Preference
The Series E Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Common Stock as to any
distribution of assets upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (a "Dissolution"). The Series E
Preferred Stock will rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to any
distribution of assets upon a Dissolution. Upon any Dissolution, each holder of
outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid out
of the assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders, after
the distribution to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and prior and in
preference to any distribution to the holders of Common Stock, an amount in cash
equal to
Redemption
All shares of Series E Preferred Stock that are not present in person or by proxy at any meeting of shareholders held to vote on the Common Charter Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal as of immediately prior to the opening of the polls on the Common Charter Amendment Proposal at such meeting (the "Initial Redemption Time") will automatically be redeemed by the Company at the Initial Redemption Time without further action on the part of the Company or the holder of shares of Series E Preferred Stock (the "Initial Redemption"). Any outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock that have not been redeemed pursuant to an Initial Redemption will be redeemed in whole, but not in part, (i) if such redemption is ordered by the Board in its sole discretion, automatically and effective on such time and date specified by the Board in its sole discretion or (ii) automatically upon the approval by the Company's shareholders of the Common Charter Amendment Proposal at any meeting of shareholders held for the purpose of voting on such proposal.
Each share of Series E Preferred Stock redeemed in any redemption described above will be redeemed for no consideration. . . .
