Equity and Dividends

In February 2019, New Residential issued 46.0 million shares of its common stock in a public offering at a price to the public of $16.50 per share for net proceeds of approximately $751.7 million. To compensate the Manager for its successful efforts in raising capital for New Residential, in connection with this offering, New Residential granted options to the Manager relating to 4.6 million shares of New Residential’s common stock at the public offering price, which had a fair value of approximately $3.8 million as of the grant date. The assumptions used in valuing the options were: a 2.40% risk-free rate, a 9.30% dividend yield, 19.26% volatility and a 10-year term.

On July 30, 2018, New Residential entered into a Distribution Agreement to sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ATM Shares”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million, from time to time, through an “at-the market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”). On August 1, 2019, the Distribution Agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) add additional sales agents under the ATM Program, and (ii) restore the aggregate offering price under the ATM Program to the original amount of $500.0 million.

The following table summarizes the Company’s ATM Program activity:

Approximately 2.4 million shares of New Residential’s common stock were held by Fortress, through its affiliates, at September 30, 2020.
On August 20, 2019, New Residential announced that its board of directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of its common stock through December 31, 2020. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to one or more plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or by means of one or more tender offers, in each case, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The amount and timing of the purchases will depend on a number of factors including the price and availability of New Residential’s shares, trading volume, capital availability, New Residential’s performance and general economic and market conditions. No share repurchases have been made as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

As discussed in Note 11, Debt Obligations, on May 19, 2020 and May 27, 2020 (collectively, the “Issuance Date”), in conjunction with the 2020 Term Loan, the Company issued the 2020 Warrants providing the lenders with the right to acquire, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, up to 43.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate. The 2020 Warrants are exercisable in cash or on a cashless basis and expire on May 19, 2023 and are exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time after September 19, 2020 at the following prices: approximately 24.6 million shares of common stock at $6.11 per share and approximately 18.9 million shares of common stock at $7.94 per share.

The Company recorded the value of the 2020 Term Loan and 2020 Warrants on a relative fair value basis. The 2020 Warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that resulted in a fair value of approximately $53.5 million on the Issuance Date and is not subject to subsequent remeasurement. The Company used the following assumptions in the application of the Black-Scholes option valuation model: an exercise price ranging between $6.11 and $7.94, a term of 3.0 years, a risk-free interest rate of 0.24%, and volatility of 35%. The 2020 Warrants met the definition of derivatives under the guidance in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging; however, because these instruments are determined to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and met the criteria for equity classification under ASC Topic 815, the 2020 Warrants are accounted for as an equity transaction and recorded in Additional paid-in-capital. The 2020 Warrants have a dilutive effect on net income per share to the extent that the market value per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of exercise exceeds the strike price of the 2020 Warrants.

The table below summarizes the 2020 Warrants at September 30, 2020:

Income and Earnings Per Share

New Residential is required to present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents during each period.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

(A)Stock options and common stock purchase warrants that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the periods where a loss has been recorded because they would have been anti-dilutive for the period presented.

The Company excluded the following weighted-average potential common shares from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share during the applicable periods because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:
