Dividends paid by trust preferred securities are derived from interest paid to the underlying debt securities and therefore are NOT eligible for the 15% tax rate on dividends and are also NOT eligible for the dividend received deduction for corporate holders. The company has the right, at any time, to defer dividend payments for up to five consecutive years before the alternative payment mechanism of selling common shares to pay dividends takes effect and up to ten consecutive years without giving rise to an event of default (but not beyond the maturity date). The trust's assets consist of the 6.375% Extendible Long Term Subordinated Notes (LoTS) due 6/15/2047, which may be extended to 6/1/2087, which were purchased from the company using the funds generated from the sale of the trust preferred securities.
