    What is your question? Since the shares are cumulative you have to pay dividends for 2009 if you are paying dividends for 2010.

    To calculate the dividends to be paid you need to take the par value of the shares times the percentage rate times the number of shares outstanding times 2 because you are paying for 2 years of dividends owed (in arrears).
