17. Stockholders' Equity

(a) Preferred Stock

The Company had 200,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), with 22,265,817 and 22,284,994 shares issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company has four outstanding series of cumulative redeemable preferred stock: 8.00% Series D Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”), 7.875% Series E Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”), 6.875% Series F Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series F Preferred Stock”) and 7.000% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series G Preferred Stock”). Each series of the Preferred Stock is senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividends and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

In March 2023, the Board of Directors approved a $100.0 million preferred stock repurchase program. The program, which expires March 31, 2024, allows the Company to make repurchases of shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in open market transactions, including through block purchases or privately negotiated transactions. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 19,177 shares of Series G Preferred Stock pursuant to the preferred stock repurchase program for a total cost of approximately $0.3 million, including fees and commissions paid to the broker, representing an average repurchase price of $16.64 per preferred share. The difference between the consideration transferred and the carrying value of the preferred stock resulted in a gain attributable to common stockholders of approximately $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, $99.7 million of the approved amount remained available for the repurchase of shares of Preferred Stock under the preferred stock repurchase program.

The following tables summarize the Company’s Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollar amounts in thousands):

(c) Common Stock

The Company had 200,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, with 91,180,096 and 91,193,688 shares issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

On February 22, 2023, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split was effected as of 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on March 9, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). Accordingly, at the Effective Time, every four issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock were converted into one share of the Company’s common stock, with a proportionate reduction in the Company’s authorized shares of common stock, outstanding equity awards and number of shares remaining available for issuance under the Company's 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the "2017 Plan"). In connection with the reverse stock split, the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock was also reduced on a one-for-four basis, from 800,000,000 to 200,000,000. The par value of each share of common stock remained unchanged. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, each stockholder holding fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split was entitled to receive, in lieu of such fractional shares, cash in an amount based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 8, 2023. The Reverse Stock Split applied to all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock and therefore did not affect any stockholder’s ownership percentage of shares of the Company’s common stock, except for de minimis changes resulting from the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. All common share and per common share data included in these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the impact of the Reverse Stock Split.

In February 2022, the Board of Directors approved a $200.0 million stock repurchase program. The program, which expires March 31, 2024, allows the Company to make repurchases of shares of common stock from time to time in open market transactions, including through block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions or pursuant to any Rule 10b-18 or 10b5-1 plans. In March 2023, the Board of Directors approved an upsize of the stock repurchase program to $246.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 377,508 shares of its common stock pursuant to the stock repurchase program for a total cost of approximately $3.6 million, including fees and commissions paid to the broker, representing an average repurchase price of $9.56 per common share. The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, $199.8 million of the approved amount remained available for the repurchase of shares of the Company's common stock under the stock repurchase program.
