Common Stock

On September 3, 2020 (Emergence Date), the Company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy and issued a total of 12.0 million shares of common stock at a par value of $0.01 per share (New Common Stock) to be subsequently distributed in accordance with the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization filed with the bankruptcy court on June 9, 2020 (as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time, the “Plan”). On February 21, 2023, a final decree was approved to close the remaining Chapter 11 case and grant related relief. As a result, any shares of common stock not yet claimed were deemed unclaimed property and have been treated as reductions to the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of February 21, 2023.

All shares of New Common Stock are subject to the transfer restrictions in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Charter). Article XIV of the Charter provides that, subject to the exceptions provided in Article XIV, any attempted transfer of the Company's common stock will be prohibited and void ab initio if (i) because of the transfer, any person becomes a Substantial Stockholder (as defined below) other than by reason of Treasury Regulations section 1.382-2T(j)(3) or (ii) the Percentage Stock Ownership (as defined in the Charter) interest of any Substantial Stockholder will be increased. A “Substantial Stockholder” means a person with a Percentage Stock Ownership of 4.75% or more.

The Board subsequently authorized increases to the authorized repurchases up to $50.0 million in October 2021 and then up to $100.0 million in June 2022. The repurchases are made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other available means. The Company has no obligation to repurchase any shares under the repurchase program and may suspend or discontinue it at any time without prior notice. As of December 31, 2022, we had repurchased a total of 1,794,392 shares under the repurchase program at an average share price of $38.37 for an aggregate purchase price of $68.9 million.
2) In June 2021, we repurchased our common stock from the Lenders (as defined in Note 9 - Long-Term Debt and Other Long-Term Liabilities) which received these shares as an exit fee during our reorganization.
3) During the year ended December 31, 2021, we repurchased shares in a privately negotiated transaction which was not part of the repurchase program.

The cumulative number of shares repurchased as of December 31, 2022 totaled 2,472,392. The cash purchase price and any direct acquisition costs are reflected as treasury stock on the consolidated balance sheets.

Warrants

Each holder of Unit common stock outstanding (Old Common Stock) before the Emergence Date that did not opt out of the release under the Plan is entitled to receive 0.03460447 warrants for every share of Old Common Stock owned. Each warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant Agreement. The warrants expire on the earliest of (i) September 3, 2027, (ii) consummation of a Cash Sale (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), or (iii) the consummation of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had authorized 1,822,231 warrants and none had been exercised.

Among other provisions, the Warrant Agreement outlines potential adjustments to the warrants if certain events occur, including (i) stock dividends payable in shares of common stock or stock splits, (ii) reverse stock splits or similar combination events, (iii) Liquidity Events (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), and (iv) other events not explicitly contemplated which may have an adverse impact to the intent and purpose of the warrants as set forth in the Plan, provided, however, the warrants will not be adjusted for (a) any issuances of securities in connection with a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, (b) the issuance of any securities by Unit on or after the Effective Date (as defined in the Plan) pursuant to the Plan or upon the issuance of shares of common stock upon the exercise of such securities, (c) the issuance of any shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of the warrants, (d) the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to any management stock option incentive or similar plan, (e) a dividend or distribution to holders of common stock of cash, property, or securities (other than common stock), and/or (f) any change in the par value of the common stock.
Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Company determined the initial exercise price of the warrants to be $63.74. On April 7, 2022, the Company delivered notice of the initial exercise price to the Warrant Agent and the warrants became exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock. On or about April 25, 2022, the warrants began trading over-the-counter under the symbol "UNTCW".
