Series F Preferred Stock

 

On March 24, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with the Series F Preferred Stockholder, pursuant to which the Series F Preferred Stockholder agreed to purchase for an aggregate of $148.3 million (i) 148,250 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, with a Stated Value of $1,000 per share, convertible into shares of Common Stock and (ii) upon the one-year anniversary of the issue date of the Series F Preferred Stock, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Series F Preferred Stock Warrants. The Series F Preferred Offering closed on March 26, 2025 (the “Series F Preferred Closing Date”), and the Company received approximately $137.2 million of net proceeds, after deducting advisor fees and offering expenses. The Company used the proceeds from the Series F Preferred Offering to fund a portion of the Bayswater Acquisition, which also closed on March 26, 2025.

 

The Series F Preferred Stockholder is entitled to receive, on a cumulative basis, whether or not authorized or declared, dividends on each share of Series F Preferred Stock at a rate per annum equal to 12%, on the amount equal to the sum of (a) the Stated Value plus (b) all accrued and unpaid dividends on such share of Series F Preferred Stock (including dividends accrued and unpaid on previously unpaid dividends). Dividends are payable to the Series F Preferred Stockholder in cash on March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1 of each calendar year, beginning on June 1, 2025. Alternatively, according to the Series F Certificate of Designation, the Company may elect to pay the dividends entirely or partially in shares of Common Stock. Additionally, the Series F Certificate of Designation states that six months after the anniversary date of the maturity of the Company’s Amended & Restated Credit Agreement the dividend rate will increase to 25%. The Company elected to pay the June 1, 2025 dividend by issuing the Series F Preferred Stockholder 1,305,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

 

The Series F Preferred Stockholder may convert all or a portion of its shares of Series F Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at any time and from time to time. The initial conversion rate for the Series F Preferred Stock is 202.0202 shares of Common Stock per share of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Standard Conversion”), which is subject to certain adjustments as described in the Series F Certificate of Designation. The Series F Preferred Stockholder may also convert all or a portion of its shares of Series F Preferred Stock using an Alternative Conversion Rate (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designation) in lieu of the Standard Conversion, subject to an Alternative Conversion Cap (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designation) for each quarter. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, 2,250 and 3,250 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, respectively, were converted into 774,000 and 1,026,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, using the Alternative Conversion.

 

Subject to the terms, conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Series F Certificate of Designation, the Company will have the right to redeem all of the then-outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock for a cash redemption price per share of Series F Preferred Stock equal to the Company Redemption Price (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designation). If a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designation) occurs, the Series F Preferred Stockholder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock for a cash purchase price equal to the Fundamental Change Redemption Price (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designation).

 

With respect to the Standard Conversion or a redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock, the Series F Preferred Stockholder will be entitled to receive an additional payment (the “Additional Payment”) in an amount equal to $19.9 million multiplied by the Stated Value of each share of converted or redeemed Series F Preferred Stock dividend the aggregate Stated Value of all shares of Series F Preferred Stock issued in the Series F Preferred Offering. The Company expects any Additional Payments to be paid in shares of Common Stock.

 

Additionally, the Series F Certificate of Designation specifies that upon the completion of certain equity issuances resulting in proceeds to the Company, or certain dividends or distributions declared or made, prepayments of indebtedness made, or investments acquired, owned or made pursuant to its Amended & Restated Credit Agreement, the Company would pay the Series F Preferred Stockholder all or a portion of a cash sweep amount equal to 25% of the net proceeds from such financing or of the amount of such dividend, distribution, prepayment or investment, as applicable, in redemption of a number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the result of (A) (i) an amount equal to 106.25% plus 6.25% on each one year anniversary of the Series F Preferred Closing Date (the “Repayment Multiplier”) multiplied by (ii) the Stated Value of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock, plus (B) accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares.

 

The Company has determined that the Series F Preferred Stock should be classified as mezzanine equity because it is currently redeemable at the Series F Preferred Stockholder’s option. Additionally, the Company determined that certain features of the Series F Preferred Stock require bifurcation and separate accounting as embedded derivatives. On the date of issuance, in accordance with ASC 815, the Company recorded a liability of $19.4 million for the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock embedded derivatives and a liability of $22.1 million for the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock Warrants. Refer to Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements for a further discussion of the fair value of the Series F Preferred Stock embedded derivatives and Series F Preferred Stock Warrants. As a result, on March 26, 2025, the Company recognized the Series F Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity based on its relative fair value of $98.8 million, after allocating $41.5 million of the proceeds to the embedded derivative features and the Series F Preferred Stock Warrants. Additionally, the Company recorded the issuance costs of $12.2 million as a reduction to the allocated proceeds. As of June 30, 2025, in accordance with ASC 480, the Company adjusted the value of the Series F Preferred Stock to reflect its maximum redemption amount of $164.6 million resulting in a $17.5 million decretion of the remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock presented on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and a $73.1 million accretion of the remeasurement of Series F Preferred Stock presented on the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
