Dividends
Common Stock Dividends
Historically, and through March 31, 2019, the Company generally paid dividends on Common Stock on the 15th day of each month (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to common stockholders of record on the applicable record date during the month at an annualized rate of $2.13 per share or $0.1775 per share on a monthly basis. Prior to July 2018, the record date for the Company’s regular dividend was generally the 8th day of the applicable month. On April 5, 2019, the Company’s board of directors approved a change in the Company’s Common Stock dividend policy. Accordingly, consistent with its peers, the Company anticipates paying future dividends authorized by its board of directors on shares of its Common Stock on a quarterly
basis in arrears on the 15th day of the first month following the end of each fiscal quarter (unless otherwise specified) to common stockholders of record on the record date for such payment. This change affects the frequency of dividend payments only, and does not impact the annualized dividend rate on Common Stock of $2.13. The Company’s board of directors may alter the amounts of dividends paid or suspend dividend payments at any time prior to declaration and therefore dividend payments are not assured. For purposes of the presentation of information herein, the Company may refer to distributions by the OP on OP Units and LTIP Units as dividends. In addition, see Note 5 — Credit Facilities for additional information on the restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions imposed by the Credit Facility.
Preferred Stock Dividend
Dividends on Series A Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $0.453125 per share per quarter to Series A Preferred Stock holders, which is equivalent to 7.25% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock per annum. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not on a business day, on the next succeeding business day) to holders of record at the close of business on the record date set by the Company’s board of directors, which must be not more than 30 nor fewer than 10 days prior to the applicable payment date.
