Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On May 3, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the commencement of an underwritten registered public offering of the Company’s Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), pursuant to an effective registration statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and the information contained in Exhibit 99.1 is incorporated herein by reference. The dividend rate and certain other terms of the Series A Preferred Stock will be determined at the time of the pricing of the offering. The exact timing and terms of the offering will depend on market conditions and other factors.

 

In addition, in connection with the offering of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company will be making road show presentations to certain existing and potential securityholders of the Company (collectively, the “Roadshow Materials”). A copy of the Roadshow Materials for the offering of Series A Preferred Stock is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. The information contained in the Roadshow Materials is summary information that should be considered in the context of the Company’s filings with the SEC and other public announcements the Company may make by press release or otherwise from time to time.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Series A Preferred Stock or any other securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

 

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
