Through May 15, 2023, Charter, Qurate and Pine each held 33.3% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. On May 16, 2023, Qurate sold its Series B Preferred Stock to Liberty, and Charter, Liberty, and Pine continued to hold 33.3% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock until the Closing Date of the Recapitalization Transaction.
At the Annual Meeting on June 15, 2023, 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 of the Series B Preferred Stock.
On July 24, 2024, the Company issued 13,257,294 additional 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 deferred dividends totaling $32.8 million to such holders for annual dividend periods ended in 2023 and 2024.
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 on that date. Under the waivers and the Certificate of Designations, the deferred dividends continued to accrue and accumulate at a rate of 9.5% per year until they were extinguished as part of the Recapitalization Transaction.
On December 29, 2025, as part of the Recapitalization Transaction, Charter, Liberty and Pine each exchanged 31,928,301 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for (i) 4,223,621 shares of Preferred Stock and (ii) 3,286,825 shares of Exchange Common Stock. Additionally, the Company agreed to a fixed cash payment of $2.0 million to each of the Preferred Stockholders on June 30, 2028, regardless of whether the Preferred Stockholders continue to own any securities of the Company on the payment date.
Charter, Liberty and Pine are entitled to convert the Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock and to vote as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock as set forth in the Certificate of Designations of the Preferred Stock. In connection with the Recapitalization Transaction, the Company and the Preferred Stockholders also entered into an amendment and restatement of the Stockholders Agreement between the parties. Under the Stockholders Agreement, as amended and restated, each Preferred Stockholder has the right to designate one director to serve on the Company's Board, and the Preferred Stockholders together have the right to nominate a fourth director who will act as the Board Chair. In addition, each Preferred Stockholder has consent rights over certain matters. In accordance with the Stockholders Agreement, Charter, Liberty and Pine each have designated one member of the Company's Board and together have nominated an additional member of the Company's Board. For further information, refer to Footnote 4, Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders' Equity (Deficit).

Concurrent with the closing of the 2021 Preferred Stock Transactions on March 10, 2021, the Company entered into a ten-year Data License Agreement ("DLA") with Charter Communications Operating, LLC ("Charter Operating"), an affiliate of Charter. Under the original DLA, Charter Operating would bill the Company for license fees according to a payment schedule that gradually increased from $10.0 million in the first year of the term to $32.3 million in the tenth year of the term. The Company would recognize expense for the license fees ratably over the term. On November 6, 2022, the Company and Charter Operating entered into an amendment to the DLA, pursuant to which the Company received license fee credits totaling $7.0 million. On December 31, 2024, the Company and Charter Operating entered into another amendment (the "2024 Amendment") under which the Company pays fees based on household counts provided by Charter Operating during the period. The 2024 Amendment was conditioned upon the Company's payment of arrears due to Charter under the DLA, which were paid in full on December 31, 2024.
