 resulting from the Forward Contracts, see “Risks Related to Forward Contracts—Settlement provisions contained in a Forward Contract could result in substantial dilution to our earnings per share or result in substantial cash payment obligations.”

We may issue additional debt securities or equity securities that are senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividend and liquidating distributions, which could further restrict our operations and expose us to additional risk, and the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected.

If we decide to issue additional debt securities in the future, the indenture or other instrument governing such securities may contain covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we may issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of our common stock. Holders of debt securities may also be granted specific rights, including, but not limited to, the right to hold a perfected security interest in certain of our assets, the right to accelerate payments due under the indenture, rights to restrict dividend payments and rights to approve the sale of assets. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and shares of preferred stock, if any, and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Any preferred stock we may issue could have a preference on liquidating distributions and/or a preference on dividend payments that could limit our ability to make a distribution to the holders of our common stock. Such additional restrictive covenants, operating restrictions and preferential dividends could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and negatively affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.

Increases in market interest rates may result in a decrease in the value of shares of our common stock.

If market interest rates rise, prospective purchasers of shares of our common stock may expect a higher distribution rate.

As a result, prospective purchasers may decide to purchase other securities rather than shares of our common stock, which would reduce the demand for, and result in a decline in the market price of, shares of our common stock.

Our distributions to stockholders may change, which could adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock.

All distributions are at the sole discretion of our board of directors (our
