Ranking: |
|
The Series K Preferred Shares will rank senior to the Issuers common shares and any other junior shares that the Issuer may issue in the future, and on parity with the Issuers Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, Series D-10 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series D-14 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series D-15 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and any other parity shares that the Issuer may issue in the future, in each case with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Issuer intends to contribute the net proceeds from the offering to the Operating Partnership in exchange for preferred units in the Operating Partnership (with economic terms that mirror the terms of the Series K Preferred Shares). These preferred units will rank, as to distributions and upon liquidation, senior to the Class A Common Units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and on parity with the other preferred units in the Operating Partnership.
|
Conversion Rights: |
|
The Series K Preferred Shares are not convertible into or exchangeable for any property or any of the other securities of the Issuer.
|
Redemption at Option of the Issuer: |
|
Except in instances relating to preservation of the Issuers status as a real estate investment trust, the Series K Preferred Shares are not redeemable until July 18, 2017. On and after July 18, 2017, the Issuer may redeem the Series K Preferred Shares, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of redemption. The Series K Preferred Shares have no maturity date and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed. |
Voting Rights: |
|
The holders of the Series K Preferred Shares will generally have no voting rights. However, if dividends on the Series K Preferred Shares are in arrears for six quarterly dividend periods (whether or not consecutive), the holders of the Series K Preferred Shares (voting separately as a class with holders of all other series of parity preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) will have the right to elect two additional trustees to serve on the Issuers Board of Trustees until such dividend arrearage is eliminated. In addition, certain changes that would be material and adverse to the rights of holders of the Series K Preferred Shares cannot be made without the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series K Preferred Shares and all other series of parity preferred shares upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, voting as a single class. If any such changes would be material and adverse to holders of some but not all series of parity preferred shares, a vote of at least two-thirds of the holders of only the series materially and adversely affected would be required.
