Explanatory Note
On October 13, 2017, Sun Communities, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) reporting that on October 13, 2017, the Company elected to redeem on November 14, 2017 (the “Redemption Date”) all of the outstanding shares of its 7.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (NYSE:SUI-PrA; CUSIP No. 866674 203) (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The Original Form 8-K contained a computational error stating that the accrued and unpaid distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock through the Redemption Date will be $0.217708 per share and the total redemption price for each share will be $25.217708 (the “Redemption Price”). The correct amount of the accrued and unpaid distributions is $0.14349 and the correct amount of the total redemption payment is $25.14349 per share. This Form 8-K/A amends the Original Form 8-K to reflect the corrected amounts. Any references to the accrued and unpaid distributions or the Redemption Price made in the exhibits filed with the Original Form 8-K also should have been to the corrected amounts.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 13, 2017, Sun Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) announced that it has elected to redeem on the Redemption Date all of the outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock. There are 3,400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding with an aggregate liquidation preference of $85.0 million.
The Company will pay the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock cash in the amount of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions up to, but not including, the Redemption Date, without interest, in an amount equal to $0.14349 per share, for a Redemption Price of $25.14349 per share.
From and after the Redemption Date, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will cease to accrue and the only remaining right of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price.
A notice of redemption was mailed on October 13, 2017 to the holder of record of the Series A Preferred Stock. All of the Series A Preferred Stock being called for redemption are held of record by Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”). Accordingly, the Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemed in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC.
A copy of the press release announcing the redemption of, and the notice of redemption for, all of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock is hereby incorporated by reference and filed herewith as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
