Convertible Preferred Stock Convertible Preferred Stock
In May 2021, we issued 600,000 shares of Series A 6.5% cumulative perpetual CPS in a private placement transaction involving a limited number of qualified institutional buyers.

The CPS, with respect to dividend rights or rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of Fluor, ranks senior to all classes of common stock and to any other class of capital stock or series of preferred stock that may be established (except in certain circumstances). The CPS is, however, junior to our existing and future debt.

The CPS does not have a maturity date. Cumulative cash dividends on the preferred stock are payable at an annual rate of 6.5% quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, upon declaration of the dividend by our Board of Directors. Dividends accumulate from the most recent date on which dividends have been paid. Dividends of $39 million were paid in 2022. In January 2023, our Board of Directors approved the payment $10 million in quarterly dividends, which were paid in February 2023.

Each share of CPS is convertible at the holder's option at any time into 44.9585 shares of our common stock per share of CPS. The conversion rate is subject to certain customary adjustments, but no payment or adjustment for accumulated but unpaid dividends will be made upon conversion, subject to certain limited exceptions. The CPS may not be redeemed by us; however, we are able, since May 20, 2022, to elect to cause all outstanding shares of CPS to be converted into shares of our common stock at the conversion rate, subject to certain conditions (and, if such conversion occurs prior to May 20, 2024, the payment of a cash make-whole premium). The most significant condition to our ability to invoke a conversion prior to May 2024 is the requirement that our common stock trade above $28.92 for 20 consecutive trading days, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2022 and has persisted into 2023. We estimate that the cash make-whole payment would have been $72 million at December 31, 2022 (assuming we minimally exceeded the minimum trading price to invoke the conversion) or $64 million (using the average 5-day trading price leading up to December 31, 2022). If a make-whole fundamental change, as defined in the certificate of designations for the CPS, occurs, we will in certain circumstances be required to increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert shares of CPS in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

The shares of preferred stock have no voting rights except if and when dividends on the preferred stock are in arrears and have been unpaid with respect to six or more quarterly dividend payment dates (whether or not consecutive). In such events, the holders of the preferred stock would be entitled to elect two additional directors to the board of directors. Such voting rights are exercisable until all dividends in arrears have been paid in full, at which time the voting rights and the term of the two additional directors terminate.
