On October 31, 2019, we initiated a portfolio sale of 19 aircraft to Thunderbolt Aircraft Lease Limited III (“Thunderbolt III”), an asset-backed securities platform. We anticipate closing the transaction on November 8, 2019 and will continue management of these aircraft assets. The Company’s non-controlling interest in Thunderbolt III will be approximately 5.0% and will be accounted for as an investment under the cost method of accounting. We expect a majority of the aircraft transfers to be completed over the next two quarters.

On November 6, 2019, our board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share on our outstanding Class A common stock. The dividend will be paid on January 6, 2020 to holders of record of our Class A common stock as of December 20, 2019. Our board of directors also approved a cash dividend of $0.384375 per share on our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, which will be paid on December 15, 2019 to holders of record of our Series A Preferred Stock as of November 30, 2019.
