Amendment and Restatement of Certificate of Formation
On September 11, 2025, the Company amended and restated its certificate of formation to, among other things, provide for the authorization to issue four classes of stock, designated as follows:
Class of StockAuthorized SharesPar Value Per Share
Class A common stock500,000,000$0.00001
Class B common stock200,000,000$0.00001
Class C common stock50,000,000$0.00001
Preferred stock20,000,000$0.00001
Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share, holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share, and holders of Class C common stock are entitled to 10 votes per share. All holders of outstanding shares of common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters on which shareholders are generally entitled to vote, except as otherwise required.
The Company has no current plans to pay dividends on Class A common stock. Holders of Class B and Class C common stock do not have any right to receive dividends (except for certain in-kind dividends), or to receive a distribution upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company with respect to their Class B and Class C common stock. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of Class A common stock will be at the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.
The Company must, at all times, maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and the number of Black Rock OpCo LLC Units owned by the Company (subject to certain exceptions for treasury shares and shares underlying certain convertible or exchangeable securities).
LLC Recapitalization
As described in Note 1, on September 11, 2025, the Company entered into the Seventh Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Black Rock Coffee Holdings, LLC (the "Black Rock OpCo Agreement") to, among other things, effect a recapitalization (i) in which Black Rock OpCo recapitalized its capital structure to provide for a single new class of equity, LLC Units, (ii) in which Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. was appointed as the sole managing member of Black Rock OpCo and (iii) to provide certain redemption rights to the Continuing Equity Owners. Subsequent to the Transactions, 50,055,807 LLC Units were outstanding, of which 17,478,452 were held by the Company and the remaining 32,577,355 were held by the Continuing Equity Owners.
Pursuant to the Black Rock OpCo Agreement, the Continuing Equity Owners have the right, from time to time and subject to terms of the Black Rock OpCo Agreement, to exchange their LLC Units, along with a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, as applicable, for shares of Class A common stock or cash, at the option of the Company, on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and similar transactions. The Company may not effectuate a cash settlement unless the disinterested directors of its Board of Directors have authorized and consummated a qualifying offering by no later than the redemption date for the purpose of satisfying such cash settlement. In connection with any exchange of LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock by a Continuing Equity Owner, the number of LLC Units held by the Company correspondingly increases as it acquires the exchanged LLC Units, and a corresponding number of shares of Class B or Class C common stock are canceled.
Initial Public Offering
As described in Note 1, on September 15, 2025, the Company completed its IPO in which it issued and sold 16,911,764 shares of Class A common stock (including 2,205,882 shares sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters option to purchase additional shares) at an offering price of $20.00 per share, resulting in proceeds of approximately $314.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. The proceeds were used to purchase approximately 3,857,642 newly-issued LLC Units from Black Rock OpCo for approximately $71.8 million, as well as 13,054,122 LLC Units from certain Continuing Equity Owners for $242.8 million. Total offering expenses (other than the underwriting discount and commissions) were approximately $8.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of $306.5 million. All of such offering expenses were paid for or otherwise borne by Black Rock OpCo.
NCF Charitable Assets Trust Donation
On December 28, 2025, certain Continuing Equity Owners gifted a total of 539,019 LLC Units and Class C common stock, which automatically converted to shares of Class B common stock, to NCF Charitable Assets Trust, a donor advised fund.
As a result of the above transactions, as of December 31, 2025:
Holders of the Company's Class A common stock owned 17,478,452 shares, representing a combined 7.1% of the voting power in the Company and, through the Company's corresponding ownership of LLC Units, 17,478,452 LLC Units representing a 34.9% interest in Black Rock OpCo; and
the Continuing Equity Owners collectively owned 32,577,355 LLC Units, inclusive of 80.5 thousand restricted LLC Units, representing a 65.1% interest in Black Rock OpCo, 10,916,155 shares of the Company's Class B common stock, and 21,661,200 shares of the Company's Class C common stock, representing a combined 92.9% of the voting power in the Company.
