Convertible Debt and Equity Instruments

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models and embedded conversion features that can be recognized separately from the primary contract. These amendments also enhance transparency and improve disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings per share guidance. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. This update permits the use of either the modified retrospective or full retrospective method of adoption.

 

On a modified retrospective basis, we adopted the amendments early, effective January 1, 2021. The primary effect of the adoption on the Company was attributable to the elimination of the beneficial conversion accounting model, which results in the presentation of the Series A Preferred as a single unit of account, without bifurcation of the beneficial conversion feature and corresponding discount. Therefore, upon adoption, the carrying value of the Series A Preferred was reflected at $749.7 million, which is the allocated amount based on the initial relative fair value allocation of net proceeds of $787.1 million, less the carrying value of the portion repurchased in December 2020. The adoption did not have an impact on retained earnings (deficit), but rather, the adoption impact flowed through additional paid-in capital where the beneficial conversion feature was previously included. In addition, the adoption also eliminates the corresponding discount attributable to the beneficial conversion feature and therefore, accretion of the discount as a deemed dividend is no longer required. The other aspects of the ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
