In December 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 40,000,000 common shares which increased its equity by $103.7 million. In December 2018, the Annual General Meeting of the Company approved to increase the Company’s authorized share capital from $1.8 million to $3.6 million. Additional Paid-in Capital Included in Additional Paid-in Capital is the Company’s Share Premium Fund as defined by Bermuda law. The Share Premium Fund cannot be distributed without complying with certain legal procedures designed to protect the creditors of the Company, including public notice to its creditors and a subsequent period for creditor notice of concern, regarding the Company’s intention, following shareholder approval, to transfer such funds to the Company’s Contributed Surplus Account and thereby make such funds available for distribution. The Share Premium Fund was $103.4 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Credits and Charges to Additional Paid in Capital were a result of the accounting for the Company’s share based compensation programs and issuance of shares. Contributed Surplus Account The Company’s Contributed Surplus Account as defined by Bermuda law, consists of amounts previously recorded as share premium, transferred to Contributed Surplus Account when resolutions are adopted by the Company’s shareholders to make Share Premium Fund distributable or available for other purposes. As indicated by the laws governing the Company, the Contributed Surplus Account can be used for dividend distribution and to cover accumulated losses from its operations. For the year ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company paid a dividend of $9.9 million and $59.1 million, respectively, which was charged to the Contributed Surplus Account. The Company’s Contributed Surplus account was $786.9 million and $796.8 million per December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Shareholders’ Rights Plan On June 16, 2017, the Board of Directors adopted a new shareholders’ rights agreement and declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right to purchase one one-thousandth of a Series A Participating Preferred Share of the Company for each outstanding common share, par value $0.01 per share. The dividend was payable on June 26, 2017 to shareholders of record on that date. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from us one one-thousandth of a Series A Participating Preferred Share of the Company at an exercise price of $30.00, subject to adjustment. The Company can redeem the rights at any time prior to a public announcement that a person or group has acquired ownership of 15% or more of the Company’s common shares. As at December 31, 2017, no shares were issued pursuant to the plan. This shareholders’ rights plan was designed to enable us to protect shareholder interests in the event that an unsolicited attempt is made for a business combination with, or a takeover of, the Company. Our shareholders’ rights plan is not intended to deter offers that the Board determines are in the best interests of our shareholders.
