2021 Issuance of Series B Preferred Stock
On March 10, 2021, the Company issued and sold 82,527,609 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $204.0 million. Net proceeds from the 2021 Preferred Stock Transactions totaled $187.9 million after deducting issuance costs.
The holders of Series B Preferred Stock were entitled to participate in all dividends declared on the Common Stock on an as-converted basis and were also entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 7.5% per annum, payable annually in arrears (on June 30 of each year) and subject to increase under certain specified circumstances. The annual dividend accrued on a daily basis from and including the issuance date of such shares, whether or not declared. In the event the annual dividends were not paid on the annual payment date, the dividends otherwise payable on such date continued to accrue and cumulate at a rate of 9.5% per annum, until such failure was cured.
In addition, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock were entitled to request a one-time dividend ("Special Dividend") equal to the highest dividend that the Company's Board determined could be paid at the applicable time (or a lesser amount agreed upon by the holders).
At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on June 15, 2023 (the "Annual Meeting"), the Company's stockholders approved proposals permitting the payment of annual dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or a combination thereof, subject to conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designations governing the Series B Preferred Stock. On the same date, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock waived its right to receive on June 30, 2023 the annual dividends otherwise payable by the Company on that date (the "June 2023 Waivers"). Upon receipt of the June 2023 Waivers, the Company's Board elected to defer the June 30, 2023 payment. Under the June 2023 Waivers and the Certificate of Designations, the deferred dividends would accrue and accumulate at a rate of 9.5% per year from June 30, 2023 until declared and paid, with payment to occur on or before December 31, 2023.
On December 26, 2023, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock waived its right to receive the deferred dividends on or before December 31, 2023 (the "December Waivers"). Under the December Waivers and the Certificate of Designations, the deferred dividends would continue to accrue at a rate of 9.5% per year until declared and paid, with payment to occur on or before June 30, 2024.
On June 27, 2024, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock further waived its right to receive the deferred dividends on or before June 30, 2024 (the "June 2024 Waivers"). In addition, each holder waived its right to receive on June 30, 2024 the annual dividends otherwise payable on that date for the dividend period ending June 29, 2024. Under the June 2024 Waivers and the Certificate of Designations, the deferred dividends for both periods (2023 and 2024) would continue to accrue and accumulate at a rate of 9.5% per year until declared and paid, with payment to occur on or before July 31, 2024.
2024 Issuance of Series B Preferred Stock
On July 24, 2024 (the "2024 Issuance Date"), the Company issued 13,257,294 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the existing holders of Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for cancellation of the Company's obligation to pay the deferred dividends totaling $32.8 million to such holders for annual dividend periods ended in 2023 and 2024. As of the 2024 Issuance Date, the additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock were convertible into 662,862 shares of the Company's Common Stock, representing an effective conversion price of $49.438 per share for the canceled dividend obligation.
The additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock had the same terms and conditions as the Series B Preferred Stock previously issued by the Company, including that holders were entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 7.5% per annum, payable annually in arrears and subject to increase under certain circumstances.
In connection with the issuance, the Company and the holders of Series B Preferred Stock also entered into an amendment to the Stockholders Agreement. Among other things, the amendment reduced the $100.0 million special dividend threshold set forth in the Stockholders Agreement by an amount equal to the liquidation preference of the additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock ($32.8 million). After further reducing the threshold by annual dividends paid in prior years, the special dividend threshold was $47.0 million.
For purposes of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the 2024 issuance of Series B Preferred Stock was deemed to be a payment of the deferred dividends in the form of Series B Preferred Stock, and the cancellation of the deferred dividend balance constituted an extinguishment of the liability. For extinguishments of a liability, the difference between the requisition price and the net carrying amount of the liability being extinguished should be recognized as a gain or loss when the liability is extinguished. Therefore, the Company estimated the fair value using a binomial lattice model, a form of the income approach, utilizing Level 3 unobservable inputs. The Company used significant inputs and assumptions which included the price and expected volatility of the Common Stock, risk-adjusted discount rate, risk-free rate, expected term, deferred dividends and the timing and probability of a special dividend being called and paid as of the 2024 Issuance Date. The Company recorded the fair value of the additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, net of issuance costs of $19.6 million within mezzanine equity. The remaining $13.0 million of the cancelled dividend balance was recognized in additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, because gains in transactions with related parties are recognized as equity contributions.
On June 24, 2025, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock waived its right to receive on June 30, 2025 the annual dividends otherwise payable by the Company on that date (the "June 2025 Waivers"). Under the June 2025 Waivers and the Certificate of Designations, the deferred dividends accrued and accumulated at a rate of 9.5% per year from June 30, 2025 until they were extinguished as part of the Recapitalization Transaction.
On September 26, 2025, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreements with each holder of Series B Preferred Stock, pursuant to which, at the closing of the Exchange, each holder would exchange the Series B Preferred Stock then owned by such holder for shares of Series C Preferred Stock, Common Stock, and a fixed cash payment payable in 2028. The Recapitalization Transaction was approved by the Company's stockholders on December 19, 2025 and closed on December 29, 2025, as further described below.
2025 Issuance of Series C Preferred Stock (Recapitalization Transaction)
On December 29, 2025, Charter, Liberty, and Pine each exchanged 31,928,301 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for (i) 4,223,621 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (referred to as "Preferred Stock" below) and (ii) 3,286,825 shares of Common Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock liquidation preference at the time of the Closing was $264.5 million. Of the total Series B Preferred Stock liquidation preference, $183.7 million was exchanged for Preferred Stock at a price of $14.50 per share, for an aggregate issuance of 12,670,863 shares of Preferred Stock. The remaining Series B Preferred Stock liquidation preference of $80.8 million was exchanged for an aggregate of 9,860,475 shares of Common Stock, yielding an implied exchange price of $8.19 per share. In the Exchange Agreements, the Company also agreed to make a fixed cash payment of $2.0 million to each Preferred Stockholder on June 30, 2028, whether or not the Preferred Stockholders continue to own any securities of the Company on the payment date.
In connection with the Recapitalization Transaction, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock ("Certificate of Elimination"), returning the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the status of undesignated preferred stock and eliminating from the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company all matters set forth in the Certificate of Designations of Series B Preferred Stock. Additionally, following the filing of the Certificate of Elimination, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Amendment"). The Certificate of Amendment permitted the issuance of Common Stock and Preferred Stock to the Preferred Stockholders in connection with the Exchange and authorized a sufficient number of shares of preferred stock and Common Stock into which shares of Preferred Stock may be converted. The Certificate of Amendment (a) decreased the total number of shares of stock authorized for issuance from 121,750,000 to 60,000,000, (b) decreased the number of shares of preferred stock authorized for issuance from 105,000,000 to 14,000,000 and (c) increased the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance from 16,750,000 to 46,000,000. Finally, the Company filed a new Certificate of Designations establishing the powers, designations, preferences, rights and limitations of shares of Preferred Stock.
For purposes of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Recapitalization Transaction was deemed to be an extinguishment of the Series B Preferred Stock and the associated accrued and deferred dividends on the Closing Date. For extinguishments of equity-classified preferred stock, the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred to the holders of the preferred stock and the carrying amount of the preferred stock immediately before the exchange, net of issuance costs, should be treated as a return from the holders of the preferred stock in a manner similar to dividends paid on preferred stock. For example, any excess of carrying value over fair value is treated as a contribution from the holders of the preferred stock and recognized within retained earnings as a gain. Therefore, the Company estimated the fair value of the Preferred Stock using a binomial lattice model, a form of the income approach, utilizing Level 3 unobservable inputs. The Company used significant inputs and assumptions which included the price and expected volatility of the Common Stock (into which the Preferred Stock can be converted), risk-adjusted discount rate, risk-free rate, and expected term as of the Closing Date. The Company recorded the fair value of the Preferred Stock, net of issuance costs of $1.4 million, within mezzanine equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of the Exchange Common Stock was determined based on the closing market price of the Company's Common Stock on the Closing Date. The Company recorded the fair value of the Exchange Common Stock, net of issuance costs of $1.0 million within permanent equity, with the amount above par value recognized within additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recorded the present value of the total future fixed payment of $6.0 million to be paid on June 30, 2028 within non-current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On the Closing Date, the Company derecognized (i) the carrying amount of $207.5 million of the Series B Preferred Stock, net of issuance costs of $16.3 million and (ii) the accrued dividend liability of $27.7 million from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The $73.0 million difference between the consideration transferred and the Series B Preferred Stock carrying value as of the Closing Date was recorded in retained earnings.
The Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders at any time into a number of shares of Common Stock based on a conversion rate set in accordance with the Certificate of Designations of the Preferred Stock, provided that each holder will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares (if any), and provided further that no holder will be entitled to convert Preferred Stock in an amount that would cause such holder to beneficially own immediately following such conversion more than 49.99% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock. The conversion rate is calculated as the product of (i) the conversion factor and (ii) one. The conversion right is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. As of March 31, 2026, each share of Preferred Stock was convertible into one share of Common Stock.
As of March 31, 2026, no shares of Preferred Stock have been converted into Common Stock.
