On December 10, 2024, the Company completed the redemption of 10,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption value of $10.3 million. This equates to stipulated redemption price of 103% of the liquidation preference per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends, which was recorded in Preferred dividends in the consolidated statements of operations. The redemption of 10,000 shares equates to 25% of the Company’s outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

On October 31, 2025 the Company completed the full redemption for all outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, for $30.6 million, which represents the stipulated redemption price of 102% of the liquidation preference per share. The redemption of 30,000 shares equates to the remainder of the Company’s outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. As the fair value of the preferred stock redemption was greater than the carrying amount, a loss on extinguishment of $2.2 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024: $0.7 million).

The Company paid $3.2 million in preferred stock dividends, which includes a $0.6 million in premium on the redemption of its remaining 30,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock during the year ended December 31, 2025.
