The holders of our Preferred Shares have general preference rights with respect to liquidation, quarterly distributions, and any accumulated unpaid distributions. Except as noted below, holders of the Preferred Shares do not have voting rights. In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly dividends, holders of all outstanding series of preferred shares (voting as a single class without regard to series) will have the right to elect two additional members to serve on our Board of Trustees (our “Board”) until the arrearage has been cured. At June 30, 2025, there were no dividends in arrears. The affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the outstanding shares of a series of Preferred Shares is required for any material and adverse amendment to the terms of such series. The affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the outstanding shares of all of our Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, is required to issue shares ranking senior to our Preferred Shares.
Except under certain conditions relating to the Company’s qualification as a REIT, the Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to the dates indicated on the table above. On or after the respective dates, each of the series of Preferred Shares is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at $25.00 per depositary share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Holders of the Preferred Shares cannot require us to redeem such shares.
Upon issuance of our Preferred Shares, we classify the liquidation value as preferred equity on our consolidated balance sheet with any issuance costs recorded as a reduction to Paid-in capital.
Dividends and Distributions
Dividends and distributions paid to our common shareholders, restricted share unitholders, deferred share unitholders, and unvested LTIP unitholders, totaled $527.2 million ($3.00 per share) and $525.9 million ($3.00 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $1.05 billion ($6.00 per share/unit) for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. In addition, we accrued $0.3 million of dividends and distributions to holders of unearned performance-based restricted share units and LTIP units for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Preferred share dividends paid totaled $48.7 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and $97.4 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
