Preferred Stock
5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock were authorized as at December 31, 2015 and 2014.
One share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Share”) was issued and outstanding as at December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Series A Preferred Share is convertible into 11,211,449 shares of Class A common stock on the date that is 61 days after the date on which the ownership of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock by a group that includes TW Investor and its affiliates would not be greater than 49.9% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The Series A Preferred Share is entitled to one vote per each share of Class A common stock into which it is convertible and has such other rights, powers and preferences, including potential adjustments to the number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued upon conversion, as are set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Share.
200,000 shares of Series B Preferred Shares were issued and outstanding as at December 31, 2015 (see Note 12, "Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares"). Assuming conversion on June 25, 2016 and no further adjustments to the conversion price under the Certificate of Designations for the Series B Preferred Shares, TW Investor would be issued 103.1 million shares of Class A common stock upon conversion.
Class A and B Common Stock
440,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 15,000,000 shares of Class B common stock were authorized as at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical except for voting rights. The shares of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and the shares of Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis for no additional consideration. Holders of each class of shares are entitled to receive dividends and upon liquidation or dissolution are entitled to receive all assets available for distribution to holders of our common stock. Under our bye-laws, the holders of each class have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares.
There were 135.8 million and 135.3 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and no shares of Class B common stock outstanding at December 31, 2015 or 2014.
As at December 31, 2015, TW Investor owns 45.2% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and has a 49.4% voting interest in the Company due to its ownership of the Series A Preferred Share.
Common Stock Warrants
As at December 31, 2015, warrants to purchase 114,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of US$ 1.00 per share, generally exercisable from May 2, 2016 to May 2, 2018, were outstanding. 100,926,996 (approximately 88.5%) of these warrants are held by Time Warner and TW Investor. Time Warner also holds the right to exercise its warrants prior to May 2, 2016 at such times and in such amounts as would allow Time Warner to own up to 49.9% of the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Company (including any shares attributed to it as part of a group under Section 12(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act).
The warrants are classified in additional paid-in capital, a component of equity and are not subject to subsequent revaluation. The fair value of the warrants issued in the rights offering we conducted in 2014 (the "Unit Warrants") is accounted for as a discount to the 2017 PIK Notes. The fair value of the warrants issued to Time Warner in certain related financing transactions (the "Initial Warrants") is accounted for as a discount on the 2017 Term Loan and as debt issuance costs for the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 5, "Long-term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements").
