RE:These Preferreds are very special instrument !!! how often the preferred yield get paid, annually or quarterly?

The more I think about them the more I realize how special they are.
They are a "share" but more like a "bond".
Dividend amounts are unrelated to company performance or earnings or cash flow. Dividends Amounts are based on a Fixed % plus a Floating% times $25. Nothing to do with performance of the company.
If the company issues more common shares, they don't dilute the Preferreds. In fact the opposite happens, the Preferreds become more "valuable" as the equity becomes more, yet no effect on the dividend payment.
