Note 17

Mezzanine Equity

Preferred Stock

On December 27, 2012, we issued 162,000 shares of Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Shares) having a par value of $0.01 per share and paying dividends at a rate of 3.75% on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share as part of the consideration for the Homeward Acquisition. The dividends are payable quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter.

The Preferred Shares are accounted for as equity and are classified as “mezzanine” equity in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The conversion option of the Preferred Shares represents a Beneficial Conversion Feature (BCF) with an intrinsic value of $8.7 million which we accounted for as a discount on the Preferred Shares with an offsetting increase in additional paid in capital upon issuance. The BCF will be amortizing through the second anniversary of the issue date, the first date at which we can redeem the Preferred Shares.

We amortize the BCF discount on the Preferred Shares as a deemed dividend with an offsetting reduction in retained earnings.

The carrying value of our Preferred Shares reflects the following:

Initial issuance price on December 27, 2012	$	162,000
Discount for beneficial conversion feature		(8,688	)
Accretion of BCF discount (Deemed dividend)		60
Carrying value at December 31, 2012		153,372
Accretion of discount (Deemed dividend)		2,172
Carrying value at June 30, 2013	$	155,544
