4.	Shareholders’ Equity and Preferred Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we repurchased and contemporaneously retired 27,252 shares and 18,033 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, pursuant to both open market and private purchases and the return of stock by holders of equity incentive awards to pay tax withholding obligations.

Preferred Stock

Our preferred stock consists of 7.625% Series B Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"). We pay cumulative cash dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock, when and as declared by our Board of Directors, in the amount of $1.90625 per share each year, which is equivalent to 7.625% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share.

No shares of Series B Preferred Stock were repurchased in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

ATM Programs

On August 10, 2022, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the "Preferred Stock Sales Agreement") providing for the sale by the Company of up to an aggregate offering price of $100.0 million of our (i) Series B preferred stock and (ii) 6.125% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Senior Notes") from time to time through a sales agent, in connection with the Company's Series B preferred stock and 2026 Senior Notes "at-the-market" offering program (the "Preferred Stock ATM Program"). On August 26, 2024, we amended and restated the Preferred Stock Sales Agreement to remove our 2026 Senior Notes and to include our 9.25% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Senior Notes") in the Preferred Stock ATM Program. On December 29, 2023, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Sales Agreement (the "Common Stock Sales Agreement") providing for the sale by the Company of its common stock, no par value per share, up to an aggregate offering price of $50.0 million, from time to time to or through a sales agent, in connection with the Company’s common stock ATM Program ("Common Stock ATM Program"). Sales pursuant to both the Preferred Stock Sales Agreement and Common Stock Sales Agreement, if any, may be made in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market offerings" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), including sales made directly on or through the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The sales agents will make all sales using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their normal trading and sales practices up to the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of, the placement notices.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we sold 13,661 shares and 44,143 shares, respectively, of our Series B preferred stock under our Preferred Stock ATM Program for net proceeds of $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
