Dividend Reinvestment Program

The DRIP provides registered stockholders who hold their shares with AST and stockholders holding shares of our common stock through certain brokerage firms that have elected to participate in the DRIP the ability to purchase additional shares of our common stock automatically by reinvesting all or a portion of their cash dividends paid on shares of our common stock. The DRIP is an "opt-out" program. Therefore, if we declare a cash dividend, registered stockholders and stockholders holding shares through participating brokerage firms who have not elected to receive dividends in cash will have their cash dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of our common stock. Non-participating brokerage firms and other financial intermediaries may provide a similar dividend reinvestment program.
