On October 10, 2019, the Company filed articles of amendment to its charter which increased the number of shares of stock the Company is authorized to issue from 600,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares, consisting of 800,000,000 shares of common stock, increased from 400,000,000 shares, and 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
    
In October 2019, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 6,900,000 shares of the Company's 7.875% Series E Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Series E Preferred Stock"). Holders of Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends (i) from and including the original issue date to, but excluding, January 15, 2025 at a fixed rate of 7.875% of the $25.00 liquidation preference (equivalent to $1.96875 per annum per share) and (ii) from and including January 15, 2025, at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR as calculated on each dividend determination date plus a spread of 6.429% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. The Series E Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the Company prior to January 15, 2025, except under circumstances where it is necessary to preserve the Company’s qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and except in certain instances upon the occurrence of a change of control. The issuance and sale of the 6,900,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock resulted in total net proceeds to the Company of approximately $166.7 million after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
