15. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Class A Common Stock

 

The Company has 210.0 million shares of Common Stock authorized. Holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of Common Stock and holders of Class B 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 December 31, 2025, 108.2 million shares of Common Stock were outstanding.

 

Class B Common Stock

 

The Company has 90.0 million shares of Class B Stock authorized. Holders of the Company’s Class B Stock will vote together as a single class with holders of the Company’s Common Stock on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Shares of Class B 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 Stock to any transferee (other than the Company) only if such holder also simultaneously transfers an equal number of such holder’s shares of Class B Stock to such transferee. The Class B 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 December 31, 2025, 0.2 million shares of Class B 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. At December 31, 2025, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding. 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 December 31, 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 Common Stock; (ii) the Class B 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. Refer to 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.

 

The Rights provided that they 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.

 

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 were not accounted for as a long-term obligation. Accordingly, the NOL Rights Plan and the Rights issued thereunder have no impact on the Company’s audited 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

 

On June 27, 2024, concurrently with the adoption of NOL Rights Plan, 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 would be void as of the date it is attempted.

 

On May 6, 2025, the Board approved the early termination of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment, effective May 7, 2025. 

 

Warrants

2025 Additional Warrants   6,557    
 
SGI Warrants   8,000    
 
Total Warrants   40,787    20,000 

 

The following table provides the exercise price and expiration date for each warrant tranche as of December 31, 2025:

 

   Warrant Share Equivalent

Price(d)
   Expiration Date
2024 Warrants   20,000   $1.50   January 23, 2034

(d) Subject to adjustment.

 

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 Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants upon not less than 45 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each holder. This redemption right is only available if the reported last sale price of the 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 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 both December 31, 2025 and 2024, the combined NCI percentage in Purple LLC was 0.2%. 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.
