Stockholders’ Equity | 15. Stockholders’ Equity
Class A Common Stock
The Company has 210.0 million shares of Class A common stock authorized. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock voting together as a single class have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. At June 30, 2025, 108.2 million shares of Class A common stock were outstanding.
Class B Common Stock
The Company has 90.0 million shares of Class B common stock authorized. Holders of the Company’s Class B common stock will vote together as a single class with holders of the Company’s Class A common stock on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Shares of Class B common stock may be issued only to InnoHold, their respective successors and assigns, as well as any permitted transferees of InnoHold. A holder may transfer their shares of Class B common stock to any transferee (other than the Company) only if such holder also simultaneously transfers an equal number of such holder’s Class B Units to such transferee. The Class B common stock is not entitled to receive dividends, if declared by the Board, or to receive any portion of any such assets in respect of their shares upon liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the Company in excess of the par value of such stock. At June 30, 2025, 0.2 million shares of Class B common stock were outstanding. Preferred Stock
The Company has 5.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized. The preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is expressly authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of the preferred stock in one or more series and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the voting rights, designations and other special rights or restrictions. On June 27, 2024, 0.3 million shares of the Company’s authorized shares of preferred stock were designated as Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series C Preferred Shares”). In conjunction with the termination of the NOL Rights Plan, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination eliminating the Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock, effective May 7, 2025. At June 30, 2025, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
NOL Rights Plan
On June 27, 2024, the Board adopted, and the Company entered into the NOL Rights Plan, which is designed to preserve approximately $238 million of the Company’s Current NOLs under Section 382 of the of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code Section 382”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders ratified the NOL Rights Plan. The Company’s ability to use the Current NOLs to offset future taxable income may be significantly limited if the Company experiences an “ownership change” under Code Section 382, which occurs if one or more stockholders or groups of stockholders that is deemed to own at least 5% of the Company’s common stock increases their aggregate ownership by more than 50 percentage points over its lowest ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period. The NOL Rights Plan is intended to prevent an ownership change by acting as a deterrent to any Person (as such term is defined in the NOL Rights Plan) acquiring 4.9% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company (or, in the case of a Grandfathered Person (as such term is defined in the NOL Rights Plan), an additional one-half of one percentage point of the outstanding common stock of the Company above their current ownership percentage). Any Person that acquires shares of the Company’s common Stock in violation of the limitations of the NOL Rights Plan is known as an “Acquiring Person.” For purposes of the NOL Rights Plan, “common stock” includes (i) the Class A common stock; (ii) the Class B common stock; and (iii) any interest that would be treated as “stock” of the Company pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.382-2T(f)(18). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the NOL Rights Plan allows for the exercise of currently outstanding conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, without triggering the NOL Rights Plan. See Note 11 – Warrant Liabilities for further discussion of the Company’s outstanding warrants.
The NOL Rights Plan provided for the issuance of a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each share of common stock outstanding on July 26, 2024. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Preferred Share for a purchase price of $2.75, subject to adjustment as provided in the NOL Rights Plan. Each Series C Preferred Share is designed to be the economic equivalent of one share of common stock.
Unless the Board determines to effect an exchange (as discussed below), each Right will become exercisable on the “Distribution Time,” which is the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth day following a public announcement, or the public disclosure of facts indicating, that a Person has become an Acquiring Person or (ii) the tenth business day (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in a Person becoming an Acquiring Person. After the Distribution Time, any Rights held by an Acquiring Person will be void and will not be exercisable. As a result, any Acquiring Person will be subject to significant dilution upon the occurrence of the Distribution Time. At any time after a Person becomes an Acquiring Person, but before such Acquiring Person holds more than 50% of the common stock, the Board, in its sole discretion, may instead extinguish the Rights by exchanging one share of Class A common stock for each Right, other than Rights held by the Acquiring Person.
The Rights will expire on the earliest to occur of (i) the close of business on June 30, 2025; (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed (as discussed below) or exchanged by the Company; (iii) the repeal of Code Section 382, if the Board determines that the NOL Rights Plan is no longer necessary for the preservation of the Current NOLs; or (v) the beginning of a taxable year of the Company to which the Board determines that no Current NOLs may be carried forward. At any time prior to the expiration of the NOL Rights Plan, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.0001 per Right (subject to adjustment and payable in cash, Class A common stock or other consideration deemed appropriate by the Board). Immediately upon the action of the Board authorizing any redemption or at a later time as the Board may establish for the effectiveness of the redemption, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the redemption price.
The initial issuance of the Rights as a dividend had no tax, financial accounting or reporting impact. The fair value of the Rights is nominal, since the Rights were not exercisable when issued and no value is attributable to them. Additionally, the Rights do not meet the definition of a liability under GAAP and therefore are not being accounted for as a long-term obligation. Accordingly, unless the Rights become exercisable upon the occurrence of the Distribution Time as discussed above, the NOL Rights Plan and the Rights issued thereunder have no impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.
On May 6, 2025, the Board approved the early termination of the NOL Rights Plan, effective May 7, 2025. NOL Protective Charter Amendment
Concurrently with the adoption of NOL Rights Plan, on June 27, 2024, the Board adopted, and recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve at the Special Meeting, the NOL Protective Charter Amendment that adds an additional layer of protection of the Current NOLs until June 30, 2025 by voiding any transfer of common stock that results in any Person holding 4.9% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company (or, in the case of a Person already holding more than 4.9% of the outstanding common stock of the Company as of the date of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment, one-half of one percentage point of the outstanding common stock of the Company above their current ownership percentage). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the NOL Protective Charter Amendment.
Any acquisition of common stock in violation of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment will be void as of the date it is attempted. Upon the Company’s written demand, the purported acquiring stockholder must transfer the excess acquired common stock to the Company’s transfer agent (along with any dividends or other distributions paid with respect to such excess acquired common stock). The Company’s transfer agent is then required to sell such excess acquired common stock in an arm’s-length transaction (or series of transactions) that would not constitute a violation under the NOL Protective Charter Amendment. The net proceeds of the sale together with any other distributions with respect to such excess acquired common stock received by the Company’s transfer agent, after deduction of all costs incurred by the transfer agent, will be transferred first to the purported transferee in an amount, if any, up to the cost (or in the case of gift, inheritance or similar transfer, the fair market value of the excess securities on the date of the prohibited transfer) incurred by the purported transferee to acquire such excess securities, and the balance of the proceeds, if any, will be transferred to a charitable beneficiary. Further, the Company may hold any stockholder liable, to the fullest extent of the law, for any intentional violation of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment.
On May 6, 2025, the Board approved the early termination of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment, effective May 7, 2025.
Warrants
The Company issued warrants in connection with various financing transactions and agreements. The Company had the following warrants outstanding at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):
The following table provides the exercise price and expiration date for each warrant tranche as of June 30, 2025:
While the Warrants are exercisable, the Company may call the Warrants for redemption in whole and not in part at any time at a price of $0.01 per share of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants upon not less than 45 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each holder, provided that this redemption right is only available if the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $24.00 per share on each of 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the holders. A holder of the Warrants will not have the right to exercise its Warrants, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 49.9% of the shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
Noncontrolling Interest
Noncontrolling interest (“NCI”) is the membership interest in Purple LLC held by holders other than the Company. At June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the combined NCI percentage in Purple LLC was 0.15%. The Company has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Purple LLC and reflected the proportionate interest held by all such Purple LLC Class B Unit holders as NCI. |
