Item 8.01. Other Events.
On December 10, 2014, the Company completed the payment of its previously announced special dividend (the “Special Dividend”) of $132.0 million (approximately $5.88 per share). The Company paid the Special Dividend through the issuance of an aggregate of 8,974,324 shares of its common stock, and the payment of an aggregate of $33.0 million in cash. The Special Dividend was paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2014. Stockholders had an opportunity to elect to receive the special dividend in the form of cash or additional shares of common stock, subject to the requirement that the aggregate amount of cash distributed to all stockholders equal $33.0 million (plus any cash paid in lieu of issuing fractional shares). Stockholders who elected to receive payment in cash received approximately $2.07 per share in cash and the remainder in shares of common stock. All other stockholders were paid only in shares of common stock. The Company issued a press release on December 10, 2014 announcing the completion of the Special Dividend, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.
