Preferred stock dividends are dividends paid on our Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock issued on February 19, 2013, the remaining shares of which were redeemed in full on October 15, 2013. Earnings were insufficient to cover the fixed charges plus preferred stock dividends by approximately $31.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.
