Series B Preferred Stock

On February 26, 2021 the Company agreed to exchange one million shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. (“Southeastern”) and Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund, C2W Partners Master Fund Limited and Deseret Mutual Pension Trust, which were investment funds managed by Southeastern at the time (such investment funds, collectively, the “Purchasers”), for shares of the Company’s newly created 4.0% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), on a one-for-one basis plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock at the time of issuance approximated $95 million. The Company has classified the Series B Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. If any shares of Series B Preferred Stock have not been converted prior to May 28, 2026, the Company is required to redeem such shares at $100 per share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends.

Dividend and Other Rights

The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $100 per share, and the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly in cash at a rate of 4.0% per annum. Dividends owed on the Series B Preferred Stock have been declared and paid when due. If dividends on any Series B Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more consecutive or non-consecutive dividend periods, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to nominate one director at the next annual shareholder meeting and all subsequent shareholder meetings until all accumulated dividends on such Series B Preferred Stock have been paid or set aside.

Conversion Features

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of each holder at any time, into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion rate of 9.5238 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $10.50 per share of Common Stock). The initial conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price are subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. If a holder elects to convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock during a specified period in connection with a fundamental change (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations), such holder can elect to have the conversion rate adjusted and can elect to receive a cash payment in lieu of shares for a portion of the shares. Such holder will also be entitled to a payment in respect of accumulated dividends. In addition, the Company will have the right to require holders to convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock in connection with certain reorganization events in which case the conversion rate will be adjusted, subject to certain limitations.

The Company will have the right to cause the mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock if the closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded $14.50 (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion price) for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days.

Embedded Conversion Features

The Company concluded that the Series B Preferred Stock is more akin to a debt-type instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the conversion option upon a fundamental change by the holder is not considered clearly and closely related to the Series B Preferred Stock. Accordingly, this embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the Series B Preferred Stock and separately accounted for as a derivative. The Company allocated $1 million of the net proceeds received to the derivative liability based on the aggregate fair value of the embedded conversion features on the dates of issuance which reduced the original carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock.

The conversion option upon a fundamental change embedded derivative value at issuance was calculated as the difference between the total value of the Series B Preferred Stock and the sum of the net present value of the cash flows if the Series B Preferred Stock is redeemed on its redemption date and the values of other embedded derivatives. Other than events which alter the likelihood of a fundamental change, the value of the conversion option upon a fundamental change embedded derivative reflects the value as of the issuance date, amortized for the passage of time. The derivative amortization is reported in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock embedded derivative as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was a liability of less than $1 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock is being accreted to the mandatory redemption amount using the effective interest method to Additional paid in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the mandatory redemption date, May 28, 2026.

Series C Preferred Stock

On February 26, 2021, the Company and GO EK Ventures IV, LLC (the “Investor”) entered into a Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investor, and the Investor agreed to purchase from the Company, an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s newly created 5.0% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), for a purchase price of $100 per share, representing $100 million of gross proceeds to the Company. The Investor is a fund managed by Grand Oaks Capital. The Company has classified the Series C Preferred Stock as temporary equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. If any shares of Series C Preferred Stock have not been converted prior to May 28, 2026, the Company is required to redeem such shares at $100 per share plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon; provided that the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock have the right to extend such redemption date by up to two years.

Dividend and Other Rights

The Series C Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $100 per share, and the holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly “in‐kind” in the form of additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a rate of 5.0% per annum. Dividends owed on the Series C Preferred Stock have been declared and additional Series C shares issued when due. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are also entitled to participate in any dividends paid on the Common Stock (other than stock

dividends) on an as-converted basis, with such dividends on any shares of the Series C Preferred Stock being payable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Common Stock.

Conversion Features

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of each holder at any time, into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion price of $10 per share of Common Stock. The initial conversion price and the corresponding conversion rate are subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments and to proportional increase in the event the liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Stock is automatically increased. If a holder elects to convert any shares of Series C Preferred Stock during a specified period in connection with a fundamental change (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designations), such holder can elect to have the conversion rate adjusted and can elect to receive a cash payment in lieu of shares for a portion of the shares of Common Stock. Such holder will also be entitled to a payment in respect of accumulated dividends and a payment based on the present value of all required remaining dividend payments through May 28, 2026, the mandatory redemption date. Such additional payments will be payable at the Company’s option in cash or in additional shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Company will have the right to require holders to convert any shares of Series C Preferred Stock in connection with certain reorganization events in which case the conversion rate will be adjusted, subject to certain limitations.

The Company has the right to cause the mandatory conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (i) at any time after February 26, 2023 if the closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded 200% of the then-effective conversion price for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days, or (ii) at any time after February 26, 2024 if the closing price of the Common Stock has equaled or exceeded 150% of the then-effective conversion price for 45 trading days within a period of 60 consecutive trading days.
