Equity [Abstract] |
Special Dividend | Special Dividend On March 9, 2017, the Company distributed a special dividend of $3.00 in cash and $5.00 in principal amount of the Company’s 6% Subordinated Debentures (Debentures) due March 1, 2027 for each share of common stock outstanding. Interest on the Debentures is payable semiannually on September 1 and March 1, commencing September 1, 2017. At issuance, the Debentures were recorded at their estimated fair value. The fair value of the Debentures is estimated based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues, the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities, or the use of market standard models. The carrying value of the Debentures approximate fair value at April 1, 2017. The Debentures are subordinated to all other funded debt of the Company and are callable, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Company, subject to declining call premiums during the first five years. The Debentures also grant each holder the right to require the Company to repurchase such holder’s Debentures in the event of a change in control at declining repurchase premiums during the first five years. The Debentures may be redeemed, subject to the conditions set forth above, at the following redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) plus any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date: If redeemed during the 12-month period beginning March 9,:

2019 |  | 104
2020 |  | 103

The effect of the special dividend was a decrease in stockholders’ equity of approximately $458.7 million, an increase in long-term debt of approximately $284.5 million, and a decrease in cash of approximately $174.2 million.
