Each IDS unit was comprised of one share of common stock and a subordinated note. In 2008, the company paid out a total of approximately $0.33 per unit (January through May 2008) as a distribution on the common stock component of the IDS and a total of approximately $0.71 per unit in interest income (January through November 2008.) The company eliminated the dividend on its common stock after the payment of the May 2008 dividend and deferred interest on the subordinated notes after the November 20, 2008 payment. The company expects that, based on U.S. federal income tax laws, the 2008 distributions on the common stock should be treated as a return of capital or capital gain.
