MEMBER UNITS AND PREFERRED UNITS

NOTE 11 — MEMBER UNITS AND PREFERRED UNITS

The units described below reflect the Companys capital structure prior to the IPO and Reorganization Transactions completed in April 2026. In connection with the IPO and Reorganization Transactions completed in April 2026, all outstanding Preferred Units and certain Common Units were recapitalized into a single class of Common Units of X-Energy Reactor Company, LLC. Refer to Note 18 — Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the IPO and related changes to the Companys capital structure and Unit holder rights.

Common Units

The holders of Class A Common Units are entitled to one vote for each unit of Class A Common Units held at all meetings of stockholders. The voting, dividend, and liquidation rights of the holders of Class A Common Units are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers, and privileges of the holders of Preferred Units set forth in the original or amended Certificate of Incorporation. The Class A Common Units have been classified as mezzanine equity as they are redeemable for cash upon the occurrence of certain events that are considered outside of the Company’s control.

The Class B Common Units have the same rights and preferences as the Class A Common Units; provided, however, that the Class B Common Units shall not have voting rights and are subject to a profits interest threshold as may be set forth in grant agreements under the Company’s unit-based compensation plan discussed in Note 12 — Unit-Based Compensation Expense.

The Class B Common Units are classified as Mezzanine equity as they are redeemable for cash upon the occurrence of certain events that are considered outside of the Company’s control.

Series A Preferred Units

The Series A Preferred Units were issued to a related party in 2023 in conjunction with the Series A Preferred financing. The units were recognized at fair market value on the issuance date.

Series A-1 Preferred Units

The Series A-1 Preferred Units were issued in 2023 together with the Series C Preferred Units and certain Series B Common Units in exchange for a cash investment of $50.0 million. The Series A-1 Preferred Units were initially recognized at their relative fair market value.

Series B Preferred Units

The Series B Preferred Units were issued prior to 2023. The Series B Preferred Units were initially recognized at fair market value.

Series C Preferred Units

During 2023, the Company issued 16.3 million Series C Preferred Units through a financing transaction, a related-party investment (resulting in a loss on issuance), and the conversion of C-1 outstanding notes.

During 2024, 20.8 million Series C Preferred Units were issued in connection with the conversion of the C-1 notes, the C-2 Note Conversion, and the exercise of the October 2022 warrants. The Series C Preferred Units issued as a result of these transactions were recognized at fair market value.

On September 30, 2025, the Company’s C-2 Note was converted into 2.9 million Series C Preferred Units. The Series C Preferred Units issued as a result of this transaction were recognized at fair market value.

Series C-1 Preferred Units

During 2024, the Company completed a financing round of Series C-1 Preferred Units which resulted in the receipt of gross cash proceeds of approximately $626.5 million from various investors. As a result of this financing round, the Company issued 99.7 million Series C-1 Preferred Units. The Series C-1 Preferred Units issued through these transactions were recorded at fair value.

In connection with the issuance of the Series C-1 Preferred Units, one investor and potential future customer was issued a warrant on Series C-1 Preferred Units (the “2024 Warrant”) for no additional consideration. The 2024 Warrant was required to be classified as a liability and measured at fair value on an ongoing basis pursuant to ASC 480 since the underlying Series C-1 Preferred Units are redeemable for cash upon the occurrence of certain events that are considered outside of the Company’s control. The 2024 Warrant could be exercised by the holder at any time from the issuance date until the 18-month anniversary of the issuance date and entitled the holder to purchase up to 40.2 million Series C-1 Preferred Units at an exercise price of approximately $7.46 per unit. As the 2024 Warrant was issued for no additional consideration and did not meet the criteria for capitalization of a contract asset, the issuance date fair value of the 2024 Warrant of $55.3 million was expensed upon its issuance. Additionally, in March 2026, the Company amended the 2024 Warrant to permit the holder to elect a cashless exercise of the 2024 Warrant at an earlier date than provided by the 2024 Warrant’s original terms. The warrant holder exercised the warrant on March 18, 2026 and received 19.6 million Series C-1 Preferred Units, which were recorded at fair value. The Company recognized a mark-to-market loss of $101.8 million in Other income (expense), net during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as a result of remeasuring the warrant liability to fair value prior to exercise.

On January 24, 2025, the Company completed additional financing rounds of Series C-1 Preferred Units, issuing 8.2 million Series C-1 Preferred Units and receiving gross cash proceeds of approximately $53.4 million from various investors. On October 3, 2025, the Company issued a warrant to a related party customer to purchase up to 14.1 million Series C-1 Preferred Units at an exercise price of $6.4870 per unit (the “2025 Warrant”). See Note 14 Related Party Transactions for details of the 2025 Warrant.

The Series C-1 Preferred Units issued through these transactions were recorded at fair value.

Series D Preferred Units

On November 21, 2025, the Company completed a financing round of Series D Preferred Units, issuing 48.2 million Series D Preferred Units and receiving gross cash proceeds of approximately $700.0 million. The Series D Preferred Units issued through these transactions were recorded at fair market value.

Preferred Units

Together, the Series A Preferred Units, the Series A-1 Preferred Units, the Series B Preferred Units, the Series C Preferred Units, the Series C-1 Preferred Units, and the Series D Preferred Units shall be referred to as the “Preferred Units” for the purpose of this Note. Preferred Units have been issued in one or more series, each of such series consisting of such number of units and to have such terms, rights, powers and preferences, and the qualifications and limitation with respect thereto, as stated or expressed in the original or amended Certificate of Incorporation. Specifics regarding the conversion features and voting rights associated with, and the balance sheet classification of, the Preferred Units outstanding are as follows:

Optional Conversion Feature

Each Preferred Unit is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into an equal number of Class A Common Units as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price, for the series of preferred units by the conversion price, initially equal to the applicable original issue price per unit, of such series of Preferred Units in effect at the time of conversion. Conversion may be effected at any time at the sole discretion of the holder. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding Preferred Units are therefore convertible into the following quantities of Class A Common Units (in thousands, except prices):

Automatic Conversion Feature

In the event of (i) a Qualified IPO, with the exception of the Series D Preferred Units as discussed below, or (ii) the approval of the requisite holders, the Preferred Units will automatically be converted into an equal number of Class A Common Units at the applicable conversion ratio.

For Series D Preferred Units specifically, if the Company undertakes a Qualified IPO, the conversion price of the Series D Preferred Units will be adjusted, if necessary, to be equal to the lesser of: (a) seventy-five percent (75%) of the price per Class A Common Unit, or the price per the equivalent common share of (i) the Company’s corporate successor following a conversion of the Company to a C corporation or (ii) the Company’s newly formed corporation member, in either scenario offered to the public in such Qualified IPO; or (b) the then-current conversion price of the Series D Preferred Units prior to such adjustment.

Voting Rights

Each of the holders of Class A Common Units, Series A Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units, Series C Preferred Units, Series C-1 Preferred Units, and Series D Preferred Units are entitled to vote for members of the Board of Directors in whatever manner necessary to ensure that the size of the Board of Directors of the Company is set and remains at nine directors who serve as the managers of the Company. The Series A-1 Preferred Units and Class B Common Units do not vote on the Board of Directors.

Cumulative Preferred Return

The Preferred Units have an annual 3% cumulative preferred return on the original issuance price, beginning on the date such Preferred Units were issued. As of March 31, 2026, the accumulated preferred return not reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for Series A, A-1, B, C, C-1, and D Preferred Units was $7.3 million, $4.7 million, $14.9 million, $16.4 million, $29.7 million, and $7.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the accumulated preferred return not reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for Series A, A-1, B, C, C-1, and D Preferred Units was $7.0 million, $4.2 million, $14.1 million, $14.2 million, $24.4 million, and $2.3 million, respectively. In the event of a deemed liquidation, the cumulative preferred return is payable solely for the Series B Preferred Units and therefore has been incorporated into the Series B Preferred Units liquidation preference amount presented on the balance sheet. The cumulative preferred return on the remaining units is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Liquidation Preference

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, or a deemed liquidation event, including a merger or consolidation, or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the holders shall receive distributions in an amount up to their liquidation preference. See the condensed consolidated balance sheet for the liquidation preference amounts. The preference of distributions is first to both Series D Preferred Unit and Series C-1 Preferred Unit holders pari passu, second to Series C Preferred Unit holders, third to Series B Preferred Units holders, fourth to Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Units holders, and fifth to Class B-1 Profits Interest Units, until members have received cumulative distributions equal to approximately $9.5 million. After the payment of the full liquidation preference of the redeemable convertible preferred stock and profits interests, the Company’s remaining assets legally available for distribution, if any, would be distributed ratably to the holders of Class A and Class B Common Units.

Classification

A redeemable equity security is to be classified as temporary or mezzanine equity if it is conditionally redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer.

The Preferred Units and Common Units are redeemable for cash upon the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, a deemed liquidation event is not considered probable, and the occurrence of such an event is considered to be outside of the Company’s control. Accordingly, the Preferred Units and Common Units are considered conditionally redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer and, therefore, the Company has classified the Preferred Units and Common Units as mezzanine equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The mezzanine equity amount related to Common Units issued as unit-based compensation is the grant date redemption value, or the modification date redemption value, as applicable. The difference between the grant date fair value and the redemption value for vested awards is presented in permanent equity. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $75.1 million and $74.9 million, respectively, has been presented within mezzanine equity, and the excess of grant date redemption value over grant date fair value for vested awards has been recorded within Additional paid in capital and Accumulated deficit for those periods, respectively.
