Stockholders' Equity

10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Preferred Stock. The Company is authorized to issue up to 8,990,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of the Preferred Stock, to determine the designation of any such series, and to determine or alter the rights granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of preferred stock including the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price, and liquidation preference.

The Board of Directors authorized the original issuance of 1,000,000 shares of the Preferred Stock as Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series AA”). Each share of Series AA (i) is non-voting, except under certain circumstances as provided in the Articles of Incorporation; (ii) is entitled to annual cash dividends of 7% which are cumulative and payable quarterly; (iii) ranks senior, as to the payment of dividends and distributions of assets upon liquidation, to common stock or any other series of Preferred Stock that is not senior to or on parity with the Series AA; (iv) is entitled to receive $25.00 plus accrued dividends upon liquidation; (v) may be redeemed by the Company prior to the mandatory conversion date at a price of $25.00 plus accrued dividends, and (vi) may be converted into two shares of common stock at the option of the holder prior to the mandatory conversion date. The conversion price is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The Company has not issued any shares of this Series AA Preferred Stock.

Common Stock. The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Series A Common Stock $0.01 par value (“Series A Common Stock”) and 1,000 shares of Series B Common Stock $0.01 par value (“Series B Common Stock”). The Series A Common Stock and the Series B Common Stock have identical rights, preferences, terms and conditions except that the holders of Series B Common Stock are not entitled to receive any portion of Company assets in the event of Company liquidation. There have been no shares of Series B Common Stock issued. Each share of Series A Common Stock and Series B Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote. The Series A Common Stock and Series B Common Stock is not subject to redemption and does not have any preference, conversion, exchange or pre-emptive rights. The articles of incorporation contain a restriction on ownership of the common stock that prevents one person from owning more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock.

Cash Dividends.   During the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company paid a cash dividend of approximately $1,075,000 or $0.06 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 the Company suspended the payment of dividends and no dividends were declared or paid.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan (“Plan) that allows stockholders to have dividends and other distributions otherwise distributable to them invested in additional shares of Company common stock. The Company has registered 3,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Plan. The Plan became effective on January 23, 2012 and was suspended on December 7, 2018. The purchase price per share used in the past was 95% of the price the Company sold its shares or $9.50 per share. No sales commission or dealer manager fee were paid on shares sold through the Plan. The Company may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Any such amendment, suspension or termination will be effective upon a designated dividend record date and notice of such amendment, suspension or termination will be sent to all participants at least thirty (30) days prior to such record date. As of March 31, 2019 approximately $17.4 million or approximately 1,834,147 shares of common stock have been issued under the Plan. No shares were issued under the Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
