Perpetual Preferred Stock rights
The rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted to and imposed on the perpetual preferred stock are
set forth below:
Dividends: Dividends on the perpetual preferred stock accumulate daily in arrears on the then-current accreted
liquidation preference (initially, $26.26 per share) of the outstanding perpetual preferred stock, whether or not
declared. The dividend rate varies depending upon the amount of time that the perpetual preferred stock has been
outstanding and whether dividends have previously been paid on the perpetual preferred stock, ranging from 8.5% to
11.25%. Dividends compound on a quarterly basis. Dividends on the perpetual preferred stock will be payable, at
the election of the Company, in cash at any time when, as and if declared by the Board or any duly authorized
committee of the Board, but only out of assets legally available. On May 17, 2024, the Board declared a dividend to
the holders of perpetual preferred stock in an aggregate amount of $9 million payable in cash. The dividend was paid
on May 28, 2024. On June 10, 2025, the Board declared a dividend to the holders of perpetual preferred stock in an
aggregate amount of $37 million payable in cash. The dividend was paid on June 10, 2025. At December 31, 2025,
the maximum potential dividend accumulated in arrears on all issued and outstanding perpetual preferred stock was
approximately $124 million, or $9.02 per share.
Liquidation preferences: In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company or deemed liquidation event, the holders of perpetual preferred stock are entitled to an amount per share
equal to the sum of (i) the accreted liquidation preference (ii) the amount of any other accumulated and unpaid
dividends and (iii) if such event occurs prior to the fifth anniversary from the original issuance date, an additional
amount equal to the aggregate cash dividends that would have been paid on the perpetual preferred stock from and
after the liquidation date through the end of the initial five-year period as if 100% of the dividends were paid in cash
at the full dividend rate, which is 8.5% for the perpetual preferred stock issued in 2022 and 9.25% for the perpetual
preferred stock issued in 2023. At December 31, 2025 the accreted liquidation preference amount was $486 million.
Conversion features: Holders of perpetual preferred stock have no right to exchange or convert shares into any
other shares or securities.
Voting rights: Holders of perpetual preferred stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of perpetual
preferred stock held at all meetings of shareholders.
Protective rights: There are no collateral requirements, redemption options, or creditor rights associated with
the perpetual preferred stock instruments. There are no provisions that are substantively protective covenants.
Redemption features: The Company, at its option, may redeem the perpetual preferred stock, in whole or in part,
at any time after the one-year anniversary date from the original issuance date of the perpetual preferred stock issued
in 2022, or after the five-year anniversary date from the original issuance date of the perpetual preferred stock issued
in 2023, at a price per share equal to the perpetual preferred liquidation preference, to the extent the Company has
funds legally available. If the Company exercises this option, the price per share of the redemption would equal the
sum of (i) $26.26 plus the then-aggregated unpaid compounded dividends, (ii) any other accumulated and unpaid
dividends, and (iii) if the redemption occurs prior to the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date for the
perpetual preferred stock issued in 2022, the aggregate cash dividends that would have been paid on the shares from
the redemption date through the end of the five-year period had the full dividend rate been paid in cash.
In addition to the Company’s right to redeem the perpetual preferred stock, the holders of the perpetual
preferred stock have the right to require the Company to repurchase up to 50% of their shares of perpetual preferred
stock beginning on May 5, 2033 (or in the case of an initial public offering or similar contingent event) and up to
100% of their shares of perpetual preferred stock beginning on May 5, 2034 (or in the case of a sale of the Company
or similar contingent event). Due to the holders’ put option, the Company classified the perpetual preferred stock,
net of costs of raising capital, as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and
2023.
Accretion of perpetual preferred stock to redemption value: As the holders of the perpetual preferred stock have
the right to require the Company to repurchase up to 50% of their shares beginning on May 5, 2033, and up to 100%
of their shares beginning on May 5, 2034, it is probable that the Company's perpetual preferred stock will become
redeemable. Accordingly, the Company is accreting the carrying amount of the perpetual preferred stock to its
redemption value over the period from the issuance date to the redemption date using the effective interest method.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded accretion of $36 million, $40
million, and $30 million, respectively.
