 par value $0.01 per share (the “Series I Preferred Stock”, and together with Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). The aggregate liquidation value of the Preferred Stock that may be repurchased by us pursuant to the Preferred Stock Repurchase Program, as of March 31, 2025, was approximately $1.6 billion.

The Preferred Stock Repurchase Program became effective on January 1, 2025 and will expire on December 31, 2029, and replaced the Preferred Stock repurchase program, which was effective from November 2, 2022 and expired on December 31, 2024 (the “Prior Preferred Stock Repurchase Program”). No shares were repurchased with respect to the Preferred Stock Repurchase Program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and the Prior Preferred Stock Repurchase Program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Purchases made pursuant to the Current Preferred Stock Repurchase Program will be made in either the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by us in our discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The authorization does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of Preferred Stock and the program may be suspended or discontinued at our discretion without prior notice.
