WTF is this thing? Bond? Stock? Preferred? Pays a bigger divi

I want more info about this...don't like it

Would love if somebody can find the CUSIP for it?

Edit: Here is something

Looks like the "dividends" are just interest payments. I got scared they are RAISING that divi while CUTTING common stock divi, playing games. Looks like that's not really what's happening.
