On January 27, 2012, we provided notice to the U.S. Treasury exercising the contractual right to defer regularly scheduled quarterly payments of dividends, beginning with the February 2012 payment, on preferred stock issued and outstanding in connection with participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program. Under the terms of the preferred stock, we may defer payments of dividends for up to six quarters in total without default or penalty. Concurrently, we also exercised contractual rights to defer interest payments with respect to trust preferred securities.
We deferred payments of $13.7 million on cumulative preferred stock dividends during the year ended December 31, 2012. Payments of $11.6 million, $13.3 million and $12.3 million were made on our Series C preferred stock during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. We did not pay preferred stock dividends in 2008.
For the purpose of computing the consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges, "earnings" consist of income before income taxes and extraordinary items plus fixed charges. "Fixed charges" consist of interest on short-term and long-term debt and where indicated, interest on deposits. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009, fixed charges also includes preferred stock dividends. We did not pay any preferred stock dividends prior to 2009. The ratios are based solely on historical financial information, and no pro forma adjustments have been made thereto.
