After issuance of the 1,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and related payments on its outstanding term loan, the Issuer’s outstanding term loan balance was $832.5 million and an aggregate liquidation value of all of its now outstanding Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock was $100 million.
The Series D Preferred Stock dividends will be paid quarterly in cash on April 15, July 15, October 15 and January 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2008, at a rate per annum initially equal to 12.0%, increasing to 15.0% on January 1, 2009, payable in arrears on a cumulative basis.
