EQUITY COMMON STOCK We are authorized to issue 2 billion shares of Class A common stock, 1.25 billion shares of Class B common stock and 50 million shares of preferred stock each of which have a par value of $0.0001 per share.
On July 3, 2017, each share of Baker Hughes common stock was converted into one share of Class A common stock in the Company.
The number of Class A common stock and Class B common stock shares outstanding at December 31, 2017 is 422 million and 707 million, respectively.
We have not issued any preferred stock.
GE owns all the issued and outstanding Class B common stock.
Each share of Class A and Class B common stock and the associated membership interest in BHGE LLC form a paired interest.
While each share of Class B common stock has equal voting rights to a share of Class A common stock, it has no economic rights, meaning holders of Class B common stock have no right to dividends and any assets in the event of liquidation of the Company.
Former Baker Hughes stockholders immediately after the completion of the Transactions received a special one-time cash dividend of $17.50 per share paid by the Company to holders of record of the Company's Class A common stock.
In addition, during 2017 the Company declared and paid regular dividends of $0.17 per share and $0.18 per share to holders of record of the Company's Class A common stock during the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

(1) In 2010, in anticipation of a long-term debt issuance, we entered into an interest rate forward starting swap to effectively fix the cash flows related to interest payments on the anticipated debt issuance.
We are accounting for the instrument as a cash flow hedge against the variability of interest payments attributable to changes in interest rates on the forecasted issuance of fixedrate debt.
The swap is in the notional amount of $500 million and is based on a 30-year LIBOR swap rate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Capital Structure/Financing Strategy In seeking to effectively fund and monetize our major development projects, we employ a capital structure and financing strategy designed to provide ample liquidity throughout the commodity price cycle.
Specifically, we strive to retain the ability to fund long cycle, multi-year, capital intensive development projects while also maintaining the capability to execute a robust exploration program and financially attractive periodic mergers and acquisitions activity.
We endeavor to maintain an investment grade debt rating in service of these objectives.
We also utilize a commodity price hedging program to reduce commodity price uncertainty and enhance the predictability of cash flows along with a risk and insurance program to protect against disruption to our cash flows and operations.
Traditional sources of our liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity under our credit facility.
Occasional sales of non-strategic crude oil and natural gas properties as well as our periodic access to capital markets may also generate cash.
Our financial capacity, coupled with our balanced and diversified portfolio, provides us with flexibility in our investment decisions including execution of our major development projects and increased exploration activity.
