Redemptions of CW Units
Pursuant to the First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Cactus LLC (the “Cactus LLC Agreement”), each holder of CW Units (“CW Unit Holder”) has, subject to certain limitations, the right (the “Redemption Right”) to cause Cactus LLC to acquire all or at least a minimum portion of its CW Units for, at Cactus LLC’s election, (x) shares of our Class A common stock at a redemption ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each CW Unit redeemed, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassification and other similar transactions, or (y) an equivalent amount of cash. Alternatively, upon the exercise of the Redemption Right, Cactus Inc. (instead of Cactus LLC) will have the right (the “Call Right”) to acquire each tendered CW Unit directly from the exchanging CW Unit Holder for, at its election, (x) one share of Class A common stock, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications and other similar transactions, or (y) an equivalent amount of cash. In connection with any redemption of CW Units pursuant to the Redemption Right or our Call Right, the corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B common stock”), will be canceled.
Any exercise by Cactus LLC or Cactus Inc. of the right to acquire redeemed CW Units for cash must be approved by the board of directors of Cactus Inc. To date, neither Cactus Inc. nor Cactus LLC have elected to acquire CW Units for cash in connection with exchanges by CW Unit Holders. It is the policy of Cactus Inc. that any exercise by Cactus Inc. or Cactus LLC of the right to acquire redeemed CW Units for cash must be approved by a majority of those members of the board of directors of Cactus Inc. who have no interest in such transaction.
Since our IPO in February 2018, 43.9 million CW Units and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock have been redeemed in exchange for shares of Class A common stock. For more information regarding our IPO, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

On March 19, 2019, Cactus Inc. entered into an underwriting agreement by and among Cactus Inc., Cactus LLC, certain selling stockholders of Cactus (the “Selling Stockholders”) and the underwriters named therein, providing for the offer and sale of Class A common stock by the Selling Stockholders (the “March 2019 Secondary Offering”). As described in the prospectus supplement dated March 19, 2019 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2019, in connection with the March 2019 Secondary Offering, certain Selling Stockholders owning CW Units exercised their Redemption Right with respect to 8.5 million CW Units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, as provided in the Cactus LLC Agreement. The March 2019 Secondary Offering closed on March 21, 2019, at which time, in exercise of its Call Right, Cactus Inc. acquired the redeemed CW Units and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock (which shares of Class B common stock were then canceled) and issued 8.5 million shares of Class A common stock to the underwriters at the direction of the redeeming Selling Stockholders, as provided in the Cactus LLC Agreement. In addition, certain other Selling Stockholders sold 26 thousand shares of Class A common stock in the March 2019 Secondary Offering, which shares were owned by them directly prior to the closing of this offering. Cactus did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common stock in the March 2019 Secondary Offering, and there was no change in the
combined number of Cactus Inc. voting shares outstanding. Cactus incurred $1.0 million in offering expenses which were recorded in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of income.
On March 9, 2021, Cactus Inc. entered into an underwriting agreement with Cactus LLC, certain selling stockholders of Cactus (the “Selling Stockholders”) and the underwriters named therein, providing for the offer and sale by the Selling Stockholders (the “2021 Secondary Offering”) of up to 6,325,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price to the underwriters of $30.555 per share. On March 12, 2021, in connection with the 2021 Secondary Offering, certain of the Selling Stockholders exercised their right to redeem 6,272,500 CW Units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, as provided in the Cactus Wellhead LLC Agreement. Upon the closing of the 2021 Secondary Offering, Cactus Inc. acquired the redeemed CW Units and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock (which shares of Class B common stock were then canceled) and issued 6,272,500 new shares of Class A common stock to the underwriters at the direction of the redeeming Selling Stockholders, as provided in the Cactus Wellhead LLC Agreement. In addition, certain other Selling Stockholders sold 52,500 shares of Class A common stock in the 2021 Secondary Offering, which shares were owned by them directly as of the time of the 2021 Secondary Offering. Cactus did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common stock in the 2021 Secondary Offering and incurred $0.4 million in expenses which were recorded in other expense, net, in the consolidated statements of income. There was no change in the combined number of Cactus Inc. voting shares outstanding as a result of the 2021 Secondary Offering.
On June 17, 2021, Cadent Energy Partners II, L.P. (“Cadent”) transferred ownership of 944,093 CW Units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, to its general partner, Cadent Energy Partners II - GP, L.P., (“Cadent GP”), and its manager, Cadent Management Services, LLC (“Cadent Management”). Cadent then redeemed its remaining 3.3 million CW Units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, as provided in the Cactus Wellhead LLC Agreement. The redeemed CW Units (and the corresponding shares of Class B common stock) were canceled and Cactus Inc. issued 3.3 million new shares of Class A common stock to Cadent, which then distributed such shares to its limited partners. Cactus received no proceeds from these events, and there was no change in the combined number of Cactus Inc. voting shares outstanding.
On September 13, 2021, Cadent GP and Cadent Management transferred their aggregate ownership of 228,878 CW Units, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, to their respective owners, which included certain Cactus Inc. board members and executive management. The transfers were made at the discretion of Cadent GP and Cadent Management without the consent of the transferees. Additionally, Cadent GP and Cadent Management redeemed their remaining 715,215 CW Units held, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock, thus liquidating its ownership in Cactus Wellhead, LLC. These transactions were in accordance with the Cactus Wellhead LLC Agreement. The redeemed CW Units (and the corresponding shares of Class B common stock) were canceled and Cactus Inc. issued 715,215 new shares of Class A common stock. Cactus received no proceeds from these events, and there was no change in the combined number of Cactus Inc. voting shares outstanding.
In addition to the redemptions associated with the March 2019 Secondary Offering, the March 2021 Secondary Offering and the 2021 redemptions by Cadent and its affiliates, certain legacy CW Unit Holders redeemed 0.7 million, 0.3 million and 0.8 million CW Units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) pursuant to the Redemption Right for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cactus acquired the redeemed CW Units and a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock (which shares of Class B common stock were then canceled) and issued 0.7 million, 0.3 million and 0.8 million shares of Class A common stock to the redeeming CW Unit Holders during the same respective time periods. Pursuant to the TRA described in Note 9, CW Unit redemptions create additional TRA liability. As a result of all of the CW Unit redemptions during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, Cactus Inc. increased its ownership in Cactus LLC and accordingly, increased its equity by approximately $79.4 million, $2.2 million and $48.7 million, respectively, from the non-controlling interest.
