Colon — Our partner in Colon made capital contributions of $10 million and $34 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Any subsequent adjustments to allocate earnings and dividends to our partner, or measure the investment at fair value, will be classified as temporary equity each reporting period as it is probable that the shares will become redeemable. IPL — IPL had $60 million of cumulative preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2019 and 2018, which represents five series of preferred stock. The total annual dividend requirements were approximately $3 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018. Certain series of the preferred stock were redeemable solely at the option of the issuer at prices between $100 and $118 per share. Holders of the preferred stock are entitled to elect a majority of IPL's board of directors if IPL has not paid dividends to its preferred stockholders for four consecutive quarters. Based on the preferred stockholders' ability to elect a majority of IPL's board of directors in this circumstance, the redemption of the preferred shares is considered to be not solely within the control of the issuer and the preferred stock is considered temporary equity.
