Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Shareholders’ Equity
Note 12 - Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Shareholders’ Equity
SpaceX Preferred and Common Stock
The common stock is divided into three classes: Class A common stock ("Class A"), Class B common stock ("Class B"), and Class C common stock ("Class C") (collectively, "SpaceX Common Stock"). The Company also has one class of preferred stock ("SpaceX Preferred Stock").
In connection with the IPO, the Company effected the following equity structure changes:
Conversion of Preferred Stock. All shares of SpaceX Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding prior to the IPO were converted into a number of shares of Class A or Class B common stock.
Reclassification of Class C Common Stock. All shares of Class C common stock outstanding prior to the IPO were reclassified into Class A common stock.
Elimination of Class D Common Stock. The Company's Class D common stock was eliminated.
Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation. An amendment to the Company's amended and restated certificate of formation, which became effective immediately prior to completion of the IPO, reduced the authorized number of shares of SpaceX Preferred Stock to 2,400 million. SpaceX Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.001 per share with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by the Company's board of directors.
As of September 30, 2026, the total number of shares of SpaceX Common Stock the Company is authorized to issue is 52,257 million shares, each with a par value of $0.001 per share: 36,132 million shares are Class A, 6,125 million shares are Class B, and 10,000 million shares are Class C. The Company is also authorized to issue 2,400 million shares of SpaceX Preferred Stock.
In May 2026, the Board approved the 2026 Stock Split, pursuant to which each share of the Class A, Class B, and Class C SpaceX Common Stock issued and outstanding was split into five shares of the same class of SpaceX Common Stock.
Effect of the xAI Merger
xAI Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

Upon conversion, all shares of xAI Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock were canceled and retired, and former xAI Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock shareholders received the applicable shares of SpaceX Common Stock. Any shares of xAI Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock previously held by the Company were canceled and retired and did not receive any consideration.
