Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

1. Basis of Presentation

In the parent-company-only financial statements, Emerald Holding, Inc.’s investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings of subsidiaries since the date of acquisition. The parent-company-only financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements. A condensed statement of cash flows was not presented because Emerald Holding, Inc.’s net operating activities have no cash impact and there were no investing or financing cash flow activities during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Income taxes and non-cash stock-based compensation have been allocated to the Company’s subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company records redeemable convertible preferred stock at fair value on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. The Company classifies its redeemable convertible preferred stock as mezzanine equity outside of stockholders’ equity (deficit) when the stock contains contingent redemption features that are not solely within the Company’s control. Each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock accumulated dividends at a rate per annum equal to 7% of the accreted liquidation preference, compounding quarterly by adding to the accreted liquidation preference until July 1, 2023 and thereafter, at the Company’s option, paid either in cash or by adding to the accreted liquidation preference. For each of the quarterly periods ending March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, the Company elected to pay dividends on the redeemable convertible preferred stock in cash, in an aggregate amount of $8.6 million for each such quarterly period.

On April 18, 2024, the Company announced it had delivered a notice informing holders of its redeemable convertible preferred stock, including Onex-related entities, that it had exercised its right to mandate that all shares of the redeemable convertible preferred stock be converted to shares of the Company’s common stock. On May 2, 2024 (the “Conversion Date”), each holder of redeemable convertible preferred stock received approximately 1.9717 shares of common stock for each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock held as of the Conversion Date, in accordance with the terms of the conversion feature as described in more detail above. Following the Conversion Date, no redeemable convertible preferred stock was outstanding, and all rights of the former holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock were terminated.

Prior to its conversion, the Company had the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the redeemable convertible preferred stock on or after June 29, 2026 for a cash purchase price equal to (a) on or after the six-year anniversary thereof, 105% of the accreted liquidation preference, (b) on or after the seven-year anniversary thereof, 103% of the accreted liquidation preference or (c) on or after the eight-year anniversary thereof, the accreted liquidation preference. In addition, if there was a change of control transaction involving the Company prior to the six-year anniversary of the First Closing Date, the Company had the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the redeemable convertible preferred stock for a cash purchase price equal to the accreted liquidation preference plus the net present value of the additional amount by which the accreted liquidation preference would have otherwise increased from the date of such redemption through the sixth anniversary of the closing.
