The Company's outstanding securities consists solely of common stock, par value $0.01 per share.

B. Common Stock or Preferred Stock

Common Stock

Stockholders of the Company are entitled to dividends if declared by the Board of Directors. Each share of our common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Our common stock is not subject to redemption or future calls or assessment by First Acceptance Corporation. Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights, or rights to convert their common stock into other securities. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of First Acceptance Corporation, holders of our common stock have the right to a ratable portion of the assets remaining after the payment of all liabilities. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

The provisions of First Acceptance Corporation's articles of incorporation and bylaws that are summarized below may have an anti- takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in such stockholder's best interests, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders:

  • the requirement that only stockholders owning at least one-third of the outstanding shares of our common stock may call a special stockholders' meeting; and
  • the requirement that stockholders owning at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of our common stock must approve any amendment to our certificate of incorporation provisions concerning the ability to call special stockholders' meetings.

Under our certificate of incorporation, we may issue shares of preferred stock on terms that are unfavorable to the holders of our common stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could also prevent or inhibit a third party from acquiring us. The existence of these provisions could depress the price of our common stock, could delay or prevent a takeover attempt or could prevent attempts to replace or remove incumbent management.

On May 4, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.27 per common share, that was paid on June 4, 2021, to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 20, 2021. On December 6, 2021, the Board of Directors declared another special cash dividend of $0.11 per common share, that was paid on December 21, 2021, to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 16, 2021.
