Corporate Action, Amendments to Bylaws (Form 8-K)

Item 3.03.
Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.

On September 25, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations (the "Certificate of Designations") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to designate 8,740,000 shares of the Company's authorized preferred stock as the 8.750% Series E Fixed-Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share ("Series E Preferred Stock"), with the powers, designations, preferences and other rights as set forth therein. The Certificate of Designations became effective upon filing on September 25, 2025.

The Certificate of Designations provides that the Company will pay, when, as and if declared by the Company's board of directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, quarterly cumulative cash dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock, in arrears, on or about the 15th day of each February, May, August and November (provided that if any dividend payment date is not a business day, then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on that dividend payment date may be paid on the next succeeding business day) from, and including, September 25, 2025, at a fixed rate of 8.750% per annum.

The Series E Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company's common stock, with respect to the payment of dividends and rights upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

The Series E Preferred Stock will not be redeemable before November 15, 2030, except under certain limited circumstances intended to preserve the Company's qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes and except upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designations). On or after November 15, 2030, the Company may, at its option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' written notice, redeem the Series E Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not authorized or declared) to, but excluding, the redemption date, without interest.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company may, as its option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' written notice, redeem the Series E Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which such Change of Control occurred, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not authorized or declared) to, but excluding, the redemption date, without interest. The Series E Preferred Stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless repurchased or redeemed by the Company or converted into the Company's common stock in connection with a Change of Control by the holders of Series E Preferred Stock.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of Series E Preferred Stock will have the right (subject to the Company's election to redeem the Series E Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, as described above, prior to the Change of Control Conversion Date (as defined in the Certificate of Designations)) to convert some or all of the Series E Preferred Stock held by such holder on the Change of Control Conversion Date into a number of shares of the Company's common stock per share of Series E Preferred Stock determined by formula, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Certificate of Designations, including provisions for the receipt, under specified circumstances, of alternative consideration.

There are restrictions on ownership of the Series E Preferred Stock intended to preserve the Company's qualification as a REIT. Holders of Series E Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights, but have limited voting rights if the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more full quarterly dividend periods (whether or not consecutive) and under certain other circumstances.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Series E Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designations, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.9 to the Company's Form 8-A filed on September 25, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the form of a certificate representing Series E Preferred Stock is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company's Form 8-A filed on September 25, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference.
