11. COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK
Class A Common Stock—Each holder of the shares of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote, as provide by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (as amended from time to time). The holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Generally, all matters to be voted on by the holders of Class A Common Stock must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast present in person or represented by proxy, unless otherwise specified by law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended from time to time).
Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by MoneyLion’s Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor.
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of MoneyLion’s affairs, the holders of the shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of MoneyLion’s debts and other liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over the shares of Class A Common Stock, then outstanding, if any.
The holders of shares of Class A Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the shares of Class A Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of shares of Class A Common Stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of the preferred stock MoneyLion may issue in the future.
On August 26, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $20,000 of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). Under the Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase from time to time shares of Class A common stock for cash through any manner, including open market transactions (including pursuant to broker plans in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18), privately negotiated transactions with third parties or accelerated share repurchase amounts, and in such amounts as the Company deems appropriate, subject to legal requirements and other corporate considerations. The volume and timing of any repurchases will be subject to general market conditions, as well as the Company’s management of capital, other investment opportunities and other factors. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares, has no fixed expiration date and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 24,405 shares of its common stock for $976.
Series A Preferred Stock—Prior to the Automatic Conversion Event (as described below), the Company had shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. Holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock (other than certain regulated holders subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended) were entitled to vote as a single class with the holders of the Class A Common Stock and the holders of any other class or series of capital stock of MoneyLion then entitled to vote.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock were entitled to a 30 cent cumulative annual dividend per share, payable at the Company’s election in either cash or Class A Common Stock (or a combination thereof), with any dividends on the Class A Common Stock valued based on the per share volume-weighted average price of the shares of Class A Common Stock on the NYSE for the 20 trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the dividend payment date.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock were entitled to a liquidation preference in the event of the Company's liquidation equal to the greater of $10.00 per share or the amount per share that such holder would have received had the Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation.
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock were convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-thirty basis, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Series A Preferred Stock was convertible (i) at any time upon the holder’s election and (ii) automatically in the event that the per share volume-weighted average price of the shares of Class A Common Stock on the NYSE equaled or exceeded $10.00 on any 20 trading days (consecutive or nonconsecutive) within any consecutive 30 trading day period ending no later than the last day of the lockup period applicable to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
As of the close of trading on the NYSE on May 26, 2023, the per share volume-weighted average price of the shares of Class A Common Stock on the NYSE equaled or exceeded $10.00 for the twentieth trading day within a consecutive thirty trading day period ending no earlier than the last day of the lockup period applicable to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Automatic Conversion Event”). Accordingly, as a result of the Automatic Conversion Event, following the close of trading on the NYSE on May 26, 2023, all 30,049,053 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding automatically converted into 1,012,293 shares of newly issued Class A Common Stock based on the conversion rate provided in the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”). In lieu of any fractional shares otherwise issuable to any holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company issued cash in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations.
On June 30, 2023, the Company paid the accrued annual dividend on the previously outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the dividend payment period ending December 31, 2022 to all holders of record as of the applicable dividend record date (the “2022 Annual Dividend”). The 2022 Annual Dividend was paid in a mixture of Class A Common Stock and cash through the issuance of 229,605 shares of Class A Common Stock and payment of approximately $3.0 million of cash. |
