Material Changes
The primary material change is the authorization and issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock. This new security ranks senior to the Company's common stock and on a parity with the existing 8.625% Fixed-to-Floating Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The issuance restricts the Company from declaring distributions on junior stock or redeeming parity stock unless full cumulative distributions on the Series D Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or set aside.

The filing incorporates by reference the prospectus supplement dated May 14, 2021, for a complete description of the Series D terms. No specific forward-looking guidance, risk factors, or unusual items are detailed within the text of this specific 8-K report beyond the standard terms of the preferred stock issuance.
