8.25% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock—At December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were 1.6 million shares of 8.25% Series D cumulative preferred stock outstanding. The Series D cumulative preferred stock ranks senior to all classes or series of the Company’s common stock and future junior securities, on a parity with each series of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock (the Series B cumulative convertible preferred stock) and with any future parity securities and junior to future senior securities and to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs. Series D cumulative preferred stock has no maturity date, and we are not required to redeem the shares at any time. Series D cumulative preferred stock is redeemable at our option for cash (on or after November 20, 2023), in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, at the redemption date. Series D cumulative preferred stock may be converted into shares of our common stock, at the option of the holder, in certain limited circumstances such as a change of control. Each share of Series D cumulative preferred stock is convertible into a maximum 5.12295 shares of our common stock. The actual number is based on a formula as defined in the Series D cumulative preferred stock agreement (unless the Company exercises its right to redeem the Series D cumulative preferred shares for cash, for a limited period upon a change in control). The necessary conditions to convert the Series D cumulative preferred stock to common stock have not been met as of period end. Therefore, Series D cumulative preferred stock will not impact our earnings per share. Series D cumulative preferred stock quarterly dividends are set at the rate of 8.25% of the $25.00 liquidation preference (equivalent to an annual dividend rate of $2.0625 per share). In general, Series D cumulative preferred stockholders have no voting rights.
The Series D Preferred Stock dividend for all issued and outstanding shares is set at $2.0625 per annum per share.

Standby Equity Distribution Agreement—On February 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the “SEDA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA”), pursuant to which the Company will be able to sell up to 7,780,786 shares of its common stock (the “Commitment Amount”) at the Company’s request any time during the commitment period commencing on February 4, 2021, and terminating on the earliest of: (i) the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the SEDA; or (ii) the date on which YA shall have made payment of Advances (as defined in the SEDA) pursuant to the SEDA for shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the Commitment Amount (the “Commitment Period”). Other than with respect to the Initial Advance (as defined below) the shares sold to YA pursuant to the SEDA would be purchased at 95% of the Market Price (as defined below) and would be subject to certain limitations, including that YA could not purchase any shares that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s common stock. “Market Price” shall mean the lowest daily VWAP (as defined below) of the Company’s common stock during the five consecutive trading days commencing on the trading day following the date the Company submits an advance notice to YA. “VWAP” means, for any trading day, the daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for such date on the principal market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. during regular trading hours. The agreement terminated on February 4, 2024.
At any time during the Commitment Period the Company may require YA to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock by delivering a written notice to YA setting forth the Advance Shares (as defined in the SEDA) that the Company desires to issue and sell to YA (the “Advance Notice”). The Company may deliver an Advance Notice for an initial Advance for up to 1,200,000 Advance Shares (the “Initial Advance”). The preliminary purchase price per share for such shares shall be 100% of the average daily VWAP for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Advance Notice.
Pursuant to the SEDA, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from any sale of the shares for working capital purposes, including the repayment of outstanding debt. There are no other restrictions on future financing transactions. The SEDA does not contain any right of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages. We are not required to pay any
additional amounts to reimburse or otherwise compensate YA in connection with the transaction except for a $10,000 structuring fee. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has sold approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock and received proceeds of approximately $10.0 million under the SEDA.
