Adjustment to Exchange, Conversion and Redemption Rates
In connection with the quarterly common share dividend, which we refer to as the Quarterly Common Dividend, that was paid in a combination of (1) our shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.0001 per share, classified as common stock, which we refer to as common shares, and (2) cash on October 16, 2009 to common shareholders of record at the close of business on September 25, 2009, which we refer to as the Record Date, we issued 3,873,786 common shares on October 16, 2009.
As a result of the Quarterly Common Dividend, effective September 26, 2009, the exchange rate of our 5.45% Exchangeable Guaranteed Notes due 2027, which we refer to as the Notes, adjusted from an exchange rate of 49.6681 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which was equivalent to an exchange price of approximately $20.13 per common share, to 51.3167 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an exchange price of approximately $19.49 per common share. This may result in up to approximately 152,747 additional common shares being issued upon exchange of the Notes.
As a result of the Quarterly Common Dividend, effective September 26, 2009, the conversion rate of our Series C Preferred Shares adjusted from a conversion rate of 2.3589 common shares per Series C Preferred Share, which was equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $21.20 per common share, to 2.4339 common shares per Series C Preferred Share, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $20.54 per common share. This may result in up to approximately 157,149 additional common shares being issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares.
As a result of the Quarterly Common Dividend, effective September 26, 2009, the redemption factor (or conversion ratio) for all limited partners of LCIF, LCIF II and Net 3 was adjusted from approximately 1.09 to approximately 1.13, so that each OP Unit may be redeemed by the holder thereof for approximately 1.13 common shares. This may result in up to approximately 185,530 additional common shares being issued upon redemption of the OP Units.
