The Company has authorized the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, of which 5,000 shares are designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 1,610,000 are designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 3,385,000 shares of preferred stock remain undesignated.

 

The Company entered into the ATM Sales Agreement whereby the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of common stock. On June 7, 2024, the Company filed the 2024 Shelf. Under the 2024 Shelf at the time of effectiveness, the Company had the ability to raise up to $150.0 million by selling common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, and units including $53.3 million of its common stock under the ATM Sales Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $53.3 million available under the ATM Sales Agreement, which is part of the $150.0 million available under the 2024 Shelf.

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

In September 2021, the Company entered into the Preferred Underwriting Agreement with B.Riley. Pursuant to the Preferred Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 1,400,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock under the Preferred Stock Offering.

 

 

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and liquidation rights. The Company will pay cumulative distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock, from the date of original issuance, in the amount of $2.21875 per share each year, which is equivalent to 8.875% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly in arrears, on or about the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. The first dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock sold in this offering was declared on December 23, 2021 to holders of record as of January 4, 2022 and was paid on January 14, 2022.

 

Dividends declared and paid on the Series A Preferred Stock during the year ended December 31, 2024 are as follows: (1) quarterly dividend declared on March 26, 2024 to holders of record as of April 5, 2024, which was paid on April 15, 2024, (2) quarterly dividend declared on June 25, 2024 to holders of record as of July 5, 2024 which was paid on July 15, 2024, (3) quarterly dividend declared on September 24, 2024 to holders of record as of October 4, 2024 which was paid on October 15, 2024, and (4) quarterly dividend declared on December 24, 2024 to holders of record as of January 3, 2025 and was paid on January 15, 2025.

 

Dividends declared and paid on the Series A Preferred Stock during the year ended December 31, 2023 are as follows: (1) quarterly dividend declared on March 28, 2023 to holders of record as of April 7, 2023 and was paid on April 17, 2023, (2) quarterly dividend declared on June 27, 2023 to holders of record as of July 7, 2023 and was paid on July 17, 2023, (3) quarterly dividend declared on September 26, 2023 to holders of record as of October 6, 2023 and was paid on October 16, 2023 and (4) quarterly dividend declared on December 26, 2023 to holders of record as of January 5, 2024 and was paid on January 15, 2024.

 

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights except in the case of certain dividend nonpayments. If dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears, whether or not declared, for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not these quarterly periods are consecutive, holders of Series A Preferred Stock and holders of all other classes or series of parity preferred stock with which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class will be entitled to vote, at a special meeting called by the holders of record of at least 10% of any series of preferred stock as to which dividends are so in arrears or at the next annual meeting of stockholders, for the election of two additional directors to serve on our Board until all dividend arrearages have been paid. If and when all accumulated dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods shall have been paid in full, holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be divested of the voting rights set forth above.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock is perpetual and has no maturity date. No outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been redeemed. However, the Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at the following redemption prices, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends up to, but not including, the date of redemption: 1) on and after October 15, 2022 and prior to October 15, 2023, at a redemption price equal to $25.75 per share, 2) on and after October 15, 2023 and prior to October 15, 2024, at a redemption price equal to $25.50 per share, 3) on and after October 15, 2024 and prior to and prior to October 15, 2025 at a redemption price equal to $25.25 per share and 4) on and after October 15, 2025 at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share. In addition, upon the occurrence of a delisting event or change of control, we may, subject to certain conditions, at our option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part within 90 days after the first date on which such delisting event occurred or within 120 days after the first date on which such change of control occurred, as applicable, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends up to, but not including, the redemption date.

 

Upon the occurrence of a delisting event or a change of control, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right unless we have provided or provide notice of our election to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, to convert some or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder into a number of shares of our common stock (or equivalent value of alternative consideration) per share of Series A Preferred Stock, or the “Common Stock Conversion Consideration”. In the case of a delisting event or change of control, pursuant to which shares of common stock shall be converted into cash, securities or other property or assets (the “Alternative Form Consideration”), a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock the kind and amount of Alternative Form Consideration which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive upon the delisting event or change of control, had such holder held a number of shares of common stock equal to the Common Stock Conversion Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the delisting event or change of control.

In addition, as further described in the Series B Designations, if at least 30% of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company will not take certain corporate actions without the affirmative vote at a meeting (or the written consent with or without a meeting) of the purchasers holding a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding.
