In connection with a Change of Control, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Shares, in whole or in part and no later than 120 days after the first date on which such |
|
|
Change of Control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions to, but not including, the date of redemption. If, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date, the Issuer has provided or provides notice of exercise of its redemption rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares (whether pursuant to the Issuers optional redemption right or its special optional redemption right), holders of Series A Preferred Shares will not have the conversion rights described below. |
|
|
|
Change of Control: |
|
A Change of Control is when, after the original issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares, the following have occurred and are continuing: |
|
|
|
|
|
· the acquisition by any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a person under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions of shares of the Issuer entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all shares of the Issuer entitled to vote generally in elections of trustees (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition); and |
|
|
|
|
|
· following the closing of any transaction referred to in the bullet above, neither the Issuer nor the acquiring or surviving entity has a class of common securities (or American Depositary Receipts representing such securities) listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the NYSE Amex Equities or the NASDAQ Stock Market or listed or quoted on an exchange or quotation system that is a successor to the NYSE, the NYSE Amex Equities or the NASDAQ Stock Market. |
|
|
|
Conversion Rights: |
|
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of Series A Preferred Shares will have the right (unless, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (defined below), the Issuer has provided or provides notice of its election to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares) to convert some or all of the Series A Preferred Shares held by such holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date (the Change of Control Conversion Right) into a number of the Issuers common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, per Series A Preferred Share to be converted equal to the lesser of: |
|
|
|
|
|
· the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference plus the amount of any accumulated and unpaid distributions to, but not including, the Change of Control Conversion Date (unless the Change of Control Conversion Date is after a record date for a Series A Preferred Share distribution payment and prior to the corresponding Series A Preferred Share distribution payment date, in which case no additional amount for such accumulated and unpaid distribution will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Share Price (defined below); and |
|
|
· 5.1546 (the Share Cap), subject to certain adjustments; |
|
|
|
|
|
subject, in each case, to an aggregate cap on the total number of common shares (or alternative conversion consideration, as applicable) issuable upon exercise of the Change of Control Conversion Right of 14,432,880 (or equivalent alternative conversion consideration, as applicable), subject to increase to the extent the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional Series A Preferred Shares, in which case the aggregate cap shall not exceed 16,597,812 common shares if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full (or equivalent alternative conversion consideration, as applicable), and subject to provisions for the receipt of alternative conversion consideration, as described in the preliminary prospectus supplement. |
|
|
|
|
|
If the Issuer has provided or provides a redemption notice, whether pursuant to the Issuers special optional redemption right in connection with a Change of Control or the Issuers optional redemption right, holders of Series A Preferred Shares will not have any right to convert their Series A Preferred Shares in connection with the Change of Control Conversion Right and any Series A Preferred Shares subsequently selected for redemption that have been tendered for conversion will be redeemed on the related date of redemption instead of converted on the Change of Control Conversion Date. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Change of Control Conversion Date is the date the Series A Preferred Shares are to be converted, which will be a business day that is no fewer than 20 days nor more than 35 days after the date on which the Issuer provides the required notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Common Share Price will be: (i) the amount of cash consideration per common share, if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by holders of the Issuers common shares is solely cash; and (ii) the average of the closing prices for the Issuers common shares on the NYSE for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the effective date of the Change of Control, if the consideration to be received in the Change of Control by holders of the Issuers common shares is other than solely cash. |
