Stockholders' Equity and Noncontrolling Interest
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
The Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 reflect noncontrolling interest of $4.0 million, $6.4 million, and $3.6 million, respectively, representing the Saul Organization’s share of the net income for the year.
In November 2003, the Company sold 4,000,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of 8% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series A Stock"). The depositary shares are redeemable, in whole or in part at the Company’s option, from time to time, at $25.00 per share. The depositary shares pay an annual dividend of $2.00 per share, equivalent to 8% of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. The Series A preferred stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and is not convertible into any other securities of the Company. Investors in the depositary shares generally have no voting rights, but will have limited voting rights if the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarters (whether or not declared or consecutive) and in certain other events. In March 2013, the Company redeemed 60% of its then-outstanding Series A Stock. Costs associated with the redemption were charged against accumulated deficit.
In March 2008, the Company sold 3,173,115 depositary shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of 9% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series B Stock"). The depositary shares may be redeemed at the Company’s option, on or after March 15, 2013, in whole or in part, at $25.00 per share. The depositary shares pay an annual dividend of $2.25 per share, equivalent to 9% of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. The Series B preferred stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and is not convertible into any other securities of the Company. Investors in the depositary shares generally have no voting rights, but will have limited voting rights if the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarters (whether or not declared or consecutive) and in certain other events. In March 2013, the Company redeemed all of its Series B Stock. Costs associated with the redemption were charged against accumulated deficit.
On February 12, 2013, the Company sold, in an underwritten public offering, 5.6 million depositary shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of 6.875% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and received net cash proceeds of approximately $135.2 million. The depositary shares may be redeemed on or after February 12, 2018 at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at the $25.00 liquidation preference plus accrued but unpaid dividends. The depositary shares pay an annual dividend of $1.71875 per share, equivalent to 6.875% of the $25.00 liquidation preference. The first dividend was paid on April 15, 2013 and covered the period from February 12, 2013 through March 31, 2013. The Series C preferred stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and is not convertible into any other securities of the Company except in connection with certain changes of control or delisting events. Investors in the depositary shares generally have no voting rights, but will have limited voting rights if the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarters (whether or not declared or consecutive) and in certain other events.
In September 2011, in connection with the acquisition of three shopping centers, the Company and the Operating Partnership issued to members of the Saul Organization 186,968 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Shares”) and 1,497,814 units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“Units”) with an aggregate value of $55.8 million. The price of the Shares and Units was equal to the average closing prices of the Company’s common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange for the five trading days ending with the trading day immediately preceding the date of closing of the property acquisition.
