Common Stock

 

Dividends

 

 Dividends on HC Realty common stock are subject to HC Realty’s ability to generate positive cash flow from operations. All dividends are further subject to the discretion of the board of directors of HC Realty. It is possible that HC Realty may have cash available for dividends, but its board of directors could determine that the reservation, and not distribution, of such to be in its best interest. Holders of HC Realty 7.00% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) are entitled to preferred returns before dividends are issued to holders of our common stock. At October 7, 2019, HC Realty had provided holders of its common stock with an annualized dividend of 5.5%, or $0.55 per share.

 

Liquidation Preference

 

No liquidation preference is provided for holders of HC Realty common stock. Upon the dissolution and liquidation of HC Realty, Series A Preferred Stock will receive a preference in the distribution of liquidation proceeds equal to any accrued and unpaid preferred returns. Following payment of any accrued but unpaid preferred returns to Series A Preferred Stock, liquidating distributions will be shared pari passu between our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, subject to the right of our board of directors to designate the rights and privileges of HC Realty’s authorized but unissued preferred stock in the future.

 

Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent

 

Shares of HC Realty common stock will be held in “uncertificated” form, which will eliminate the physical handling and safekeeping responsibilities inherent in owning transferable stock certificates and eliminate the need to return a duly executed stock certificate to effect a transfer. Direct Transfer LLC l acts as HC Realty’s registrar and as the transfer agent for our shares.

 

Stockholder Voting

 

Subject to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of stock contained in HC Realty’s charter and except as may otherwise be specified in HC Realty’s charter, each share of common stock will have one vote per share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including election of directors. Holders of common stock will vote with holders of the Series A Preferred Stock on all matters to which holders of HC Realty common stock are entitled to vote.

 

Generally, the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast is necessary to take stockholder action, except that a plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to elect a director and except as set forth in the next paragraph.

 

Under Maryland law, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, sell all or substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business, unless approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote on the matter. However, a Maryland corporation may provide in its charter for approval of these matters by a lesser percentage, but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. HC Realty’s charter provides for a majority vote in these situations. HC Realty’s charter further provides that any or all of its directors may be removed from office for cause, and then only by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors. For these purposes, “cause” means, with respect to any particular director, conviction of a felony or final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holding that such director caused demonstrable material harm to us through bad faith or active and deliberate dishonesty.

 

D-1

 

Each stockholder entitled to vote on a matter may do so at a meeting in person or by proxy directing the manner in which he or she desires that his or her vote be cast or without a meeting by a consent in writing or by electronic transmission. Any proxy must be received by HC Realty prior to the date on which the vote is taken. Pursuant to Maryland law and our bylaws, if no meeting is held, 100% of the stockholders must consent in writing or by electronic transmission to take effective action on behalf of HC Realty, unless the action is advised, and submitted to the stockholders for approval, by its board of directors, in which case such action may be approved by the consent in writing or by electronic transmission of stockholders entitled to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting of stockholders.
