The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, up to 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each having a par value of $0.0001 per share. Shares of Class A common stock have both economic and voting rights. Shares of Class B common stock have no economic rights, but do have voting rights. Holders of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters presented to stockholders. The Company’s board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and liquidation preferences of any series of preferred stock.
Reorganization Transactions
On November 1, 2017, in connection with the completion of the IPO, the Company completed a series of reorganization Transactions. The Transactions included the following:
•The amendment and restatement of the existing FAH, LLC limited liability company agreement (the “FAH LLC Agreement”) to, among other things, (i) convert all existing ownership interests (including vested profits interests and all unvested profits interests and existing warrants to purchase ownership interests in FAH, LLC) into common units of FAH, LLC (subject to common units received in exchange for unvested profits interests remaining subject to time-based vesting requirements), and (ii) appoint the Company as FAH, LLC’s sole managing member upon its acquisition of common units in connection with the IPO;
•The amendment and restatement of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to, among other things, provide (i) for Class A common stock, with each share of Class A common stock entitling its holders to one vote per share on all matters presented to stockholders generally and (ii) for Class B common stock, with each share of Class B common stock entitling its holders to one vote per share on all matters presented to stockholders generally and that shares of Class B common stock may only be held by the Continuing Equity Owners and their permitted transferees;
•Certain funds affiliated with ACON Funko Investors (the “Former Equity Owners”) exchanged their indirect ownership interests in common units of FAH, LLC for 12,921,039 shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis; and
•The Company entered into (i) a stockholders’ agreement with ACON Funko Investors and the Former Equity Owners, Fundamental Capital, LLC and Funko International, LLC (collectively, “Fundamental”) and Brian Mariotti, the Company’s Chief Creative Officer, (ii) a registration rights agreement with certain of the Original Equity Owners (including each of the Company’s executive officers), and (iii) a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with FAH, LLC and each of the Continuing Equity Owners.
The Transactions were effected on November 1, 2017, prior to the time the Company’s Class A common stock was registered under the Exchange Act, and prior to the completion of the IPO.
FAH, LLC Recapitalization
The FAH LLC Agreement, among other things, appointed the Company as FAH, LLC’s sole managing member and reclassified all outstanding membership interests in FAH, LLC as non-voting common units. As the sole managing member of FAH, LLC, the Company controls the management of FAH, LLC. As a result, the Company consolidates FAH, LLC’s financial results and reports a non-controlling interest related to the economic interest of FAH, LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the FAH LLC Agreement discussed above requires FAH, LLC and the Company to, at all times, maintain (i) a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by the Company and the number of common units owned by the Company and (ii) a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class B common stock owned by the Continuing Equity Owners and the number of common units owned by the Continuing Equity Owners (other than common units issuable upon the exercise of options and common units that are subject to time-based vesting requirements (the “Excluded Common Units”)). The Company may issue shares of Class B common stock only to the extent necessary to maintain the one-to-one ratio between the number of common units of FAH, LLC held by the Continuing Equity Owners (other than the Excluded Common Units) and the number of shares of Class B common stock issued to the Continuing Equity Owners. Shares of Class B common stock are transferable only together with an equal number of common units of FAH, LLC. Only permitted transferees of common units held by the Continuing Equity Owners will be permitted transferees of Class B common stock.
The Continuing Equity Owners may from time to time at each of their options (subject, in certain circumstances, to time-based vesting requirements) require FAH, LLC to redeem all or a portion of their common units in exchange for, at the Company’s election, newly-issued shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to a volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each common unit redeemed, in each case in accordance with the terms of the FAH LLC Agreement; provided that, at the Company’s election, the Company may effect a direct exchange of such Class A common stock or such cash, as applicable, for such common units. The Continuing Equity Owners may exercise such redemption right for as long as their common units remain outstanding. Simultaneously with the payment of cash or shares of Class A common stock, as applicable, in connection with a redemption or exchange of common units pursuant to the terms of the FAH LLC Agreement, a number of shares of our Class B common stock registered in the name of the redeeming or exchanging Continuing Equity Owner will be cancelled for no consideration on a one-for-one basis with the number of common units so redeemed or exchanged.

Equity-based compensation expense. The Company measures and recognizes expense for its equity-based compensation granted to employees and directors based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock units is based on the market price of Class A common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of option awards is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires management to apply judgment and make estimates, including:
•Volatility—this is estimated based primarily on historical volatilities of a representative group of publicly traded consumer product companies with similar characteristics
•Risk-free interest rate—this is the U.S. Treasury rate as of the grant date having a term equal to the expected term of the award
•Expected term—represents the estimated period of time until an award is exercised and was calculated based on the simplified method
•Dividend yield—the Company does not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future
For each of the options granted under the 2017 Plan and 2019 Plan, the following were the weighted-average of the option pricing model inputs:
Year ended December 31,

The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $9.26, $1.90 and $8.35 per share, respectively.
Equity-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. The Company records equity-based compensation to selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of income. Equity-based compensation for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $13.0 million, $10.1 million and $13.0 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2021, there was $24.0 million of total unrecognized equity-based compensation expense that the Company expected to recognize over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.4 years. Of this, $9.1 million is related to options to purchase Class A common stock in Funko, Inc. and $15.0 million is related to unvested restricted stock units in Class A common stock of Funko, Inc. As of December 31, 2021, the Company expected to recognize these costs over a remaining weighted average period of 2.6 years for options to purchase Class A shares in Funko, Inc., and 2.2 years for unvested restricted stock units in Class A common stock of Funko, Inc.
