The Offers will expire on March 29, 2023 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, unless the Company extends them (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date”).

The Offer Price for each series of the Securities is the same as the offer price for each such series offered and paid by the Company pursuant to the Company’s Offer to Purchase dated November 22, 2022 and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal (the “Prior Offers”). Holders of approximately 64.7% of the then outstanding Series X Preferred Shares tendered Securities in the Prior Offers, holders of approximately 72.0% of the then outstanding Series Y Preferred Shares tendered Securities in the Prior Offers and holders of approximately 74.8% of the then outstanding Series Z Preferred Shares tendered Securities in the Prior Offers. The Prior Offers expired on December 20, 2022 and the Company purchased all Securities tendered in the Prior Offers on December 23, 2022.

On March 1, 2023, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) authorized a quarterly dividend on each series of the Securities payable on March 31, 2023 (the “March Dividend”) to holders of record of the Securities at the close of business on March 15, 2023 for distribution to the holders of the Securities. As a result, holders of record of the Securities at the close of business on the March 15, 2023 record date will receive the March Dividend for the applicable series of Securities regardless of whether they participate in the Offers since the March 15 record date will occur prior to the consummation of the Offers. For the avoidance of doubt, the Offer Price does not, and will not, include any amount with respect to dividends, including the March Dividend, but if you hold Securities at the close of business on the March 15, 2023 record date for the March Dividend and tender your Securities in the Offers, you will receive both the March Dividend and the Offer Price for your Securities, representing an effective aggregate sum of $15.62 per Series X Preferred Share, $15.66 per Series Y Preferred Share and $14.64 per Series Z Preferred Share. You should be aware that the trading price for each series of Securities may reflect accrued but unpaid dividends. Accordingly, when evaluating the consideration to be received in the Offers, you should refer to the sum of the applicable Offer Price plus the March Dividend.

The Company will pay the purchase price for the Securities it purchases promptly after the Expiration Date and the acceptance of the Securities for purchase. The date on which such payment is made is referred to as the “Settlement Date.”

Securities tendered pursuant to the Offers may be validly withdrawn at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date by following the procedures described in the Offer to Purchase.

The Company will pay registered brokers and dealers in the United States that process tenders into the Offers from DTC participants and persons resident in the United States (the “Retail Processing Dealers”) retail processing fees. Each Retail Processing Dealer that successfully processes tenders from a retail beneficial owner of the Securities will be eligible to receive a fee (the “Retail Processing Fee”) from the Company equal to $0.125 per share of the Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by or on behalf of such retail beneficial owner and accepted for purchase by the Company, except for any Securities tendered by a Retail Processing Dealer for its own account. The Retail Processing Fee will only be paid to each Retail Processing Dealer in respect of beneficial owners who submit Series X Preferred Shares, Series Y Preferred Shares or Series Z Preferred Shares in an aggregate amount of 10,000 shares or fewer with respect to each series.

This communication is not a recommendation to buy or sell the Securities or any other securities, and it is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the Securities or any other securities. The Offers will only be made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, dated March 1, 2023 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal, dated March 1, 2023 (the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer Materials”). Holders of Securities should read carefully the Offer Materials because they contain important information, including the various terms of, and conditions to, the Offers.
