In February 2017, we issued 12,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.16 2/3 per share, at the public offering price of $2.10 per share, and 500,000 shares of 7.25% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (Convertible Preferred Stock), par value $1.00 per share, with a liquidation preference of $100 per share, for total net proceeds of $72.3 million, after underwriting discount and offering expenses.
The dividends on our Convertible Preferred Stock will be payable on a cumulative basis when, as and if declared by our board of directors, or an authorized committee of our board of directors, at an annual rate of 7.25 percent of the liquidation preference of $100 per share.
