In light of the discontinuance of the publication of three-month LIBOR after June 2023 and pursuant to the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act and the Federal Reserve’s final rules promulgated thereunder, the three-month CME Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) has replaced three-month LIBOR as the successor base rate and includes an additional spread adjustment of 0.26161% per year based on the recommendation from the Alternative Reference Rate Committee.  Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on or about March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year.  The Series C Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the Company prior to March 31, 2025, except under circumstances
