, our Common Stock.

The holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock do not have voting rights other than those described below, except as specifically required by Delaware law.

Whenever dividends on any shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid for the equivalent of six or more dividend periods (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the dividend period beginning on, and including, the initial issue date and ending on, but excluding, August 15, 2025), whether or not for consecutive dividend periods (a “nonpayment”), the holders of such shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class with holders of any and all other series of voting preferred stock (as defined below) then outstanding, will be entitled at our next special or annual meeting of shareholders to vote for the election of a total of two additional members of our board of directors (the “preferred stock directors”); provided that the election of any such directors will not cause us to violate the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE (or any other exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities may be listed or quoted) that requires listed or quoted companies to have a majority of independent directors; provided further that our board of directors shall at no time include more than two preferred stock directors. In the event of a nonpayment, we will increase the number of directors on our board of directors by two, and the new directors will be elected at an annual or special meeting of shareholders called by our board of directors, subject to its fiduciary duties, at the request of the holders of at least 25% of the shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock or of any other series of voting preferred stock (provided that if such request is not received at least 90 calendar days before the date fixed for the next annual or special meeting of the shareholders, such election shall be held at such next annual or special meeting of shareholders), and at each subsequent annual meeting, so long as the holders of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock continue to have such voting rights.

As used in this section, “voting preferred stock” means any class or series of our capital stock ranking on parity with the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable. Whether a plurality, majority or other portion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and any other voting preferred stock have been voted in favor of any matter shall be determined by reference to the respective liquidation preference amounts of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and such other voting preferred stock voted.
