Prospectus excerpt: We are offering 4,000,000 depositary shares each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of 6.750% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Noncumulative Preferred Stock, Series D, $1.00 par value, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share) (the "Preferred Stock"). As a holder of depositary shares, you will be entitled to all proportional rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock (including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights). You must exercise such rights through the depositary.
For a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in the depositary shares, see "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and all subsequent filings under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as well as the additional risk factors contained in this prospectus supplement beginning on page S-14.
We will pay dividends on the Preferred Stock, when, as, and if declared by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of the board, out of funds legally available to pay dividends, (i) from the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock to, but excluding, November 7, 2023, at an annual rate of 6.750% on the liquidation preference amount of $1,000 per share of Preferred Stock, quarterly in arrears, on February 7, May 7, August 7 and November 7 of each year (each, a "dividend payment date"), beginning on February 7, 2014, and (ii) from, and including, November 7, 2023, at an annual rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.052% on the liquidation preference amount of $1,000 per share of Preferred Stock, quarterly in arrears, on each dividend payment date, beginning on February 7, 2024.
Dividends on the Preferred Stock will not be cumulative. If our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of the board does not declare a dividend on the Preferred Stock in respect of a dividend period, then no dividend shall be deemed to have accrued for such dividend period, be payable on the applicable dividend payment date, or be cumulative, and we will have no obligation to pay any dividend for that dividend period, whether or not our board of directors or a duly authorized committee of our board declares a dividend on the Preferred Stock for any future dividend period.
We may redeem the Preferred Stock at our option, (i) in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after November 7, 2023 or (ii) in whole but not in part, at any time within 90 days following a Regulatory Capital Event (as defined herein), in each case at a cash redemption price equal to $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share), plus any declared and unpaid dividends and without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, to but excluding the redemption date. If we redeem the Preferred Stock, the depositary will redeem a proportionate number of depositary shares.
