| Equity and Temporary Equity | 15. Equity and Temporary Equity Authorized Share Capital The Company held its annual meeting of stockholders on June 18, 2024, where the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the authorized number of common shares from 160,000,000 to 250,000,000. Reverse Stock Split Refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for information on the 2024 Reverse Stock Split. Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Placement On March 8, 2024, the Company commenced a $19.0 million rights offering ("Rights Offering") for its common stock. Pursuant to the Rights Offering, the Company distributed to each holder of the Company’s common stock, Series A-3 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock and the 2026 Convertible Notes as of March 6, 2024 (the “rights offering record date”), transferable subscription rights to purchase 0.2858 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.70 per whole share (on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis). Per the concurrent investment agreement entered into with Lancer Capital (the "Investment Agreement"), the Rights Offering was backstopped by Lancer Capital, an investment fund led by Avram A. Glazer, the Chairman of the Board and the Company’s largest stockholder. Due to limitations on the common stock that can be issued to Lancer Capital under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), in lieu of exercising its subscription rights, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Lancer Capital would purchase up to $19.0 million of the Company’s newly issued Series C Non-Voting Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), for an issue price of $1,000 per share. In connection with the backstop commitment, and as a result of limitations in the amount common equity that can be raised under the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, Lancer Capital also agreed to purchase an additional $16.0 million of Series C Preferred Stock in a private placement transaction ("Concurrent Private Placement") which was to close concurrently with the settlement of the Rights Offering. Lancer Capital did not receive any compensation or other consideration for entering into or consummating the Investment Agreement. As the Rights Offering had not yet settled by March 28, 2024, in accordance with the Investment Agreement, Lancer Capital purchased $25.0 million of Series C Preferred Stock, referred to as the "equity advance." On April 24, 2024, the Company completed and closed on the Rights Offering and issued a total of 530,611 shares of common stock (5,306,105 shares of common stock on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis) for $3.7 million. Based on the number of shares of common stock actually sold upon exercise of the rights to third party investors, there were no excess shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchased by Lancer Capital under the equity advance that the Company was required to redeem, and Lancer Capital purchased an additional approximately 6,286 Series C Preferred Stock for $6.3 million under the backstop commitment. In total, the Company received $35.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds related to the Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Placement and incurred $1.8 million in dealer manager fees and other related costs which have been capitalized into Additional paid in capital ("APIC"). INNOVATE has been utilizing and expects to continue to use the net proceeds from the Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Placement for general corporate purposes, including debt service and working capital. In addition, as a result of the closing of the Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Placement, a mandatory prepayment was required on the CGIC Unsecured Note, and consequently, on April 26, 2024, INNOVATE redeemed $4.1 million of the CGIC Unsecured Note. Under the rules of the NYSE, because the shares purchased by Lancer Capital were greater than 20% of the Company's common stock outstanding before the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, those shares of Series C Preferred Stock were not allowed to be converted until stockholder approval of such issuance was obtained. On June 18, 2024, the Company held its annual shareholder meeting where Company's shareholder's approved the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into common stock. As a result, approximately 31,286 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which were held by Lancer Capital, were converted into 4,469,390 shares of common stock (44,693,895 shares of common stock on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis). See " Series C Preferred Stock " below for additional information. The Company waived its Tax Benefits Preservation Plan to permit persons exercising rights to acquire 4.9% or more of the outstanding common stock upon the exercise thereof without becoming an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan). Preferred Shares The Company’s preferred shares authorized, issued and outstanding consisted of the following: September 30, December 31, 2023 Preferred shares authorized, $0.001 par value 20,000,000 20,000,000 Series A-3 shares issued and outstanding 6,125 6,125 Series A-4 shares issued and outstanding 10,000 10,000 Series C Preferred Stock On March 5, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved a Certificate of Designation for 35,000 Series C Non-Voting participating Convertible Preferred Shares (the "Series C Preferred Stock"). The certificate of designation authorized the existing 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 to apply to this series. On March 28, 2024, the Company amended its amended and restated certificate of incorporation by filing the Certificate of Designations of the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Certificate of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Series C Preferred Stock was intended to be the economic equivalent of common stock, participating on an as-converted basis in all dividends, distributions, merger consideration and all other consideration receivable by holders of common stock, and a means through which the Backstop Arrangement and Concurrent Private Placement could be effected prior to the completion of the stockholder vote and the satisfaction of any other regulatory requirements. The issued Series C Preferred Stock was classified as temporary equity as it was not mandatorily redeemable due to the presence of substantive conversion features and would only have become mandatorily redeemable on the sixth anniversary of initial issuance if not previously converted. The Series C Preferred Stock was recognized at fair value upon issuance, net of total allocated issuance costs. As the Series C Preferred Stock was contingently redeemable, subsequent accretion to redemption value including accreted dividends would only have occurred if the contingency was resolved and the redemption had become probable (i.e., if stockholder approval was no longer reasonably possible). On March 28, 2024, INNOVATE issued and sold 25,000 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share for the aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million to Lancer Capital. On April 24, 2024, INNOVATE issued and sold an additional approximately 6,286 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock for the aggregate purchase price of $6.3 million to Lancer Capital. The Series C Preferred Stock became convertible upon the approval of shareholders during the annual shareholder meeting held on June 18, 2024, and consequently the approximately 31,286 Series C Preferred Stock held by Lancer Capital were converted at their conversion price of $0.70 (on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis) into 4,469,390 shares of INNOVATE's common stock (44,693,895 on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis). Prior to the conversion, holders of the Series C Preferred Stock were entitled to receive dividends anytime the Company declared a dividend on its common stock (excluding dividends consisting in whole or in part of common stock). The dividend amount would be based on the number of shares (including fractions) of common stock into which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock were convertible on the applicable record date multiplied by the dividend per share declared on the Company's common stock. As of September 30, 2024, there were no Series C Preferred Stock outstanding. On September 30, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, eliminating from the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation all matters set forth in the Certificate of Designation with respect to its Series C Non-Voting Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, no shares of which were then issued and outstanding. Series A-3 and Series A-4 Shares Issuance and Conversion. On July 1, 2021 (the "Exchange Date") as a part of the sale of Continental Insurance Group ("CIG"), INNOVATE entered into an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Continental General Insurance Company ("CGIC"), also a former subsidiary, which held the remaining shares of the Company's previous Series A and Series A-2 Preferred Stock and was eliminated in consolidation prior to the sale of the Company's former Insurance segment on July 1, 2021. Per the Exchange Agreement, INNOVATE exchanged 6,125 shares of the Series A and 10,000 shares of the Series A-2 shares that CGIC held for an equivalent number of Series A-3 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock ("Series A-3") and Series A-4 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock ("Series A-4"), respectively. The terms remained substantially the same, except that the Series A-3 and Series A-4 mature on July 1, 2026. Since the time of issuance of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock on July 1, 2021, the Series A-3 and Series A-4 have been classified as temporary equity in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet, with a combined redemption value of $16.1 million and with a current fair value of $16.4 million as of September 30, 2024, which is inclusive of the $0.3 million accrued dividend payable on October 15, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, eliminating from the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation all matters set forth in the Certificate of Designation with respect to its Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock, no shares of which were then issued and outstanding. Dividends. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock accrue a cumulative quarterly cash dividend at an annualized rate of 7.50%. The accrued values of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock accrete quarterly at an annualized rate of 4.00% that is reduced to 2.00% or 0.0% if the Company achieves specified rates of growth measured by increases in its net asset value; provided, that the accreting dividend rate will be 7.25% in the event that (A) the daily volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's common stock is less than a certain threshold amount, (B) the Company's common stock is not registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (C) the Company's common stock is not listed on certain national securities exchanges or the Company is delinquent in the payment of any cash dividends. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock is also entitled to participate in cash and in-kind distributions to holders of shares of Company's common stock on an as-converted basis. Subsequent Measurement. The Company elected to account for the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock by immediately recognizing changes in the redemption value as they occur. The carrying values of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock are adjusted to equal what the redemption amount would be as if the redemption were to occur at the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock. Any cash dividends paid directly reduce the carrying value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock until the carrying value equals the redemption value. Once the carrying value is equal to the redemption value, the dividends declared are accrued by debiting retained earnings, or if retained earnings is a deficit, then by debiting additional paid in capital. The Company has a history of paying dividends on its Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock and expects to continue to pay such dividends each quarter. Optional Conversion. Each share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 may be converted by the holder into shares of the Company's common stock at any time based on the then-applicable conversion price. Each share of Series A-3 was initially convertible at an accrued value of $1,000 per share divided by a conversion price of $4.25 (as it may be adjusted from time to time, the "Series A-3 Conversion Price"), and each share of Series A-4 was initially convertible at an accrued value of $1,000 per share divided by a conversion price of $8.25 (as it may be adjusted from time to time, the "Series A-4 Conversion Price") (collectively the “Conversion Prices” and unadjusted for the Reverse Stock Split). The Conversion Prices are subject to adjustment for dividends, certain distributions, stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers, recapitalizations and similar events, as well as in connection with issuances of equity or equity-linked or other comparable securities by the Company at a price per share (or with a conversion or exercise price or effective issue price) that is below the Conversion Prices’ (which adjustment shall be made on a weighted average basis). Actual conversion prices at the time of the exchange in 2021 were $3.52 for the Series A and $5.33 for the Series A-2 (on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis). As a result of the Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Placement, and due to the anti-dilution provisions contained in the terms of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock, as of April 24, 2024, the conversion price of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock was adjusted to $2.38 (on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis) and the conversion price of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock was adjusted to $3.47 (on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the conversion prices were further adjusted, and as of August 8, 2024, the conversion price of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock was adjusted to $23.63, and the conversion price of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock was adjusted to $34.40. Redemption by the Holders / Automatic Conversion. On July 1, 2026, holders of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem the Series A-3 and Series A-4 at the accrued value per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of Series A-3 and Series A-4). Each share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 that is not so redeemed will be automatically converted into shares of the Company's common stock at the Conversion Price then in effect. Upon a change of control (as defined in each Certificate of Designation) holders of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 shall be entitled to cause the Company to redeem their shares of Series A-3 and Series A-4 at a price per share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 equal to the greater of (i) the accrued value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Stock), and (ii) the value that would be received if the share of Series A-3 and Series A-4 were converted into shares of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the change of control. Redemption by the Company / "Company Call Option". At any time, the Company may redeem the Series A-3/Series A-4, in whole but not in part, at a price per share generally equal to 150% of the accrued value per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of the Series A-3/Series A-4), subject to the holder's right to convert prior to such redemption. Forced Conversion . The Company may force conversion of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 into shares of the Company's common stock if the common stock's thirty-day VWAP exceeds 150% of the then-applicable Conversion Price and the common stock’s daily VWAP exceeds 150% of the then-applicable Conversion Price for at least 20 trading days out of the thirty Liquidation Preference . In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (any such event, a “Liquidation Event”), the holders of Series A-3 and Series A-4 will be entitled to receive per share the greater of (i) the accrued value of the Series A-3 and Series A-4, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (to the extent not included in the accrued value of Series A-3 and Series A-4), and (ii) the value that would be received if the share of Series A-4 and Series A-4 were converted into shares of the Company's common stock immediately prior to such occurrence. The Series A-3 and Series A-4 will rank junior to any existing or future indebtedness but senior to the Company's common stock and any future equity securities other than any future senior or pari passu preferred stock issued in compliance with each Certificate of Designation. The Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock rank at parity. Voting Rights. Except as required by applicable law, the holders of the shares of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 will be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the holders of the Company’s common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Company's common stock with the holders of Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock on certain matters, and separately as a class on certain limited matters. Consent Rights. For so long as any of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 is outstanding, consent of the holders of shares representing at least 75% of certain of the Series A-3 and Series A-4 then outstanding is required for certain material actions. Participation Rights. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements entered into with the initial purchasers of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock, subject to meeting certain ownership thresholds, certain purchasers of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock are entitled to participate, on a pro-rata basis in accordance with their ownership percentage, determined on an as-converted basis, in issuances of equity and equity linked securities by the Company. In addition, subject to meeting certain ownership thresholds, certain initial purchasers of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and the Series A-4 Preferred Stock will be entitled to participate in issuances of preferred securities and in debt transactions of the Company. As of December 31, 2023, the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock were convertible into 174,070 (1,740,700 on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis) and 187,554 (1,875,533 on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis) shares, respectively of INNOVATE's common stock. As a result of the Rights Offering and Concurrent Private Placement in 2024, and due to the anti-dilution provisions contained in the terms of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock, the conversion prices were adjusted, and as of April 24, 2024, the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock were convertible into 256,986 (2,569,858 on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis) and 288,177 (2,881,761 on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis) shares, respectively, of INNOVATE's common stock. As of September 30, 2024, subsequent to the Reverse Stock Split, the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock were convertible into 259,212 and 290,672 shares, respectively, of INNOVATE's common stock. Series A-3 and Series A-4 Preferred Share Dividends During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, INNOVATE's Board of Directors (the "Board") declared cash dividends with respect to INNOVATE’s issued and outstanding Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock, as presented in the following tables (in millions): 2024 Declaration Date and Holders of Record Date March 31, 2024 June 30, 2024 September 30, 2024 Payment Date April 15, 2024 July 15, 2024 October 15, 2024 Total Dividend $ 0.3 $ 0.3 $ 0.3 2023 Declaration Date and Holders of Record Date March 31, 2023 June 30, 2023 September 30, 2023 Payment Date April 17, 2023 July 14, 2023 October 13, 2023 Total Dividend $ 0.3 $ 0.3 $ 0.3 DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock Issuance . On November 30, 2018, CGIC purchased 40,000 shares of DBM Global Intermediate Holdco Inc.'s Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock”), which was then eliminated in consolidation. DBM Global Intermediate Holdco Inc. ("DBMGi") is 100% owned by INNOVATE and owns 91.2% of DBMG. On July 1, 2021, as a part of the sale of CGIC, which resulted in the deconsolidation of the entity, the Company was deemed to have issued $40.9 million of DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock to the then deconsolidated CGIC. Upon the deemed issuance of the DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock on July 1, 2021, the DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock was classified as temporary equity in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. There are 500,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 each authorized for issuance. Subsequent to the issuance of the DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock, 1,820.25 shares were issued as payment in kind for dividends, resulting in a total of 41,820.25 shares of DBMGi's Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. Redemption. The DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock was redeemable at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, or at any time or by the holder prior to July 2026. On March 15, 2023, DBMGi received a redemption notice from CGIC requesting that DBMGi redeem 41,820.25 shares of DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock, representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock, within 60 days of the notice, or by May 15, 2023. On May 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Subordinated Unsecured Promissory Note with CGIC whereby INNOVATE purchased the 41,820.25 shares of DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock for full satisfaction of the redemption notice. In full consideration of the DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock as well as the accrued dividend of $0.4 million, the Company paid CGIC $7.1 million on May 9, 2023, and issued a subordinated unsecured promissory note to CGIC in the principal amount of $35.1 million. The promissory note is due February 28, 2026, and bore interest at 9.0% per annum through May 8, 2024, bears interest at 16.0% per annum from May 9, 2024, to May 8, 2025, and 32.0% per annum thereafter. Refer to Note 11. Debt Obligations for additional information on the promissory note. The DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock was measured each reporting period at its maximum redemption value, which was equal to the stated value plus all accrued, accumulated and unpaid dividends as of the end of each reporting period, as they were currently redeemable. The carrying amount as of May 9, 2023, was $41.8 million as well as the accrued dividend of $0.4 million and, subsequently, there was no gain or loss on the purchase of the DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock from CGIC. Dividends. The DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock accrued a cumulative quarterly cash or payment in kind dividend at a rate of (a) for the first five years following the date of issuance, (i) 9.00% per annum if dividends are paid in kind or (ii) 8.25% per annum if dividends are paid in cash and (b) starting on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, a rate per annum equal to (i) LIBOR (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) plus a spread of 5.85% (together, the “LIBOR Rate”) per annum, plus 0.75% if dividends are paid in kind or (ii) the LIBOR Rate per annum in the case of dividends paid in cash. Subsequent to the transition away from LIBOR beginning in 2023, the Certificate of Designation allows for a LIBOR Successor Rate, which allows the Company to reasonably determine an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmarks (if any) incorporated therein) giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks. Subsequent to May 9, 2023, the date that INNOVATE purchased the DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock, the dividends were eliminated on consolidation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, DBMGi's Board of Directors declared dividends with respect to DBMGi’s issued and outstanding DBMGi Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend paid on April 17, 2023 was paid in cash and no dividends were subsequently declared; however, in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into with CGIC on May 9, 2023, an equivalent amount of the dividends that had accrued through May 8, 2023 was paid to CGIC on May 9, 2023 as part of the purchase price: $0.1 million was paid in cash and $0.3 million was included in the principal amount of the new unsecured note that was issued on May 9, 2023. The dividend that accrued for the remaining portion of that period was eliminated on consolidation subsequent to the purchase. The declared dividends and equivalent amounts paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, are presented in the following table (in millions): Declaration Date and Holders of Record Date March 31, 2023 May 9, 2023 Payment Date April 17, 2023 May 9, 2023 Total Dividend $ 0.9 $ 0.4 R2 Technologies Non-Controlling Interests The Company has non-redeemable and redeemable non-controlling interests related to R2 Technologies in the form of common stock and in the form of convertible preferred stock that is redeemable upon the occurrence of a change in control, as defined in the respective agreements. If an event is not solely within the control of the Company, it is classified outside of permanent equity in the mezzanine section of the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company adjusts the carrying value of the non-controlling interests based on an allocation of subsidiary earnings (losses) based on ownership interests. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, it was not deemed probable that the amounts relating to convertible preferred stock in non-controlling interests will become redeemable as no change in control has occurred or is expected to occur; therefore, no additional adjustments or remeasurements were required under ASC 480-10, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. On June 20, 2024, Pansend closed on a new Series D Preferred Stock ("Series D") investment in R2 Technologies. As part of the transaction, R2 Technologies converted $15.5 million of intercompany notes with Pansend into Series D shares. The total converted amount of $15.5 million consisted of $13.7 million in principal amount and $1.8 million of accrued interest owed to Pansend, which were eliminated in consolidation. Pansend also invested an additional $5.8 million of cash into R2 Technologies in exchange for $5.8 million of Series D shares for a total new additional investment of $21.3 million in convertible participating preferred stock, which increased Pansend's ownership in R2 Technologies to 81.4% as compared to 56.8% prior to the transaction. Pansend's ownership in R2 Technologies was 81.4% and 56.6%, as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. As a result of the allocation of losses in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation , the redeemable non-controlling interest related to R2 Technologies was negative $0.3 million and negative $1.0 million as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had negative $3.9 million and negative $10.5 million, respectively, of R2 Technologies non-controlling interests reflected within Non-controlling interests within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Liquidation Preference R2 Technologies has issued multiple A, B, C, and D-series participating convertible preferred stock (the "R2 Technologies Preferred Shares"), all of which contain a liquidation preference. In the event of a liquidation event, each Preferred Share has a liquidation preference to be paid out of the assets legally available for distribution, which entitles the holder of each series A, series C, and series D R2 Technologies Preferred Share to receive, before any payments to holders of junior securities, the sum of the following: (i) the accrued value in cash; (ii) all accrued and unpaid dividends, including basic dividends and accreting dividends, if any, and (iii) an amount, in cash or otherwise, equivalent to what the holder would receive if they had converted the R2 Technologies Preferred Shares into R2 Technologies common stock or reference property just before the liquidation event. Series B R2 Technologies Preferred Shareholders would be entitled to receive, before any payments to holders of junior securities, the greater of (i) the sum of (A) the accrued value in cash, plus (B) all accrued and unpaid dividends, including basic dividends and accreting dividends, if any, or (ii) an amount, in cash or otherwise, equivalent to what the holder would receive if they had converted the R2 Technologies Preferred Shares into R2 Technologies common stock or reference property just before the liquidation event. If the assets of R2 Technologies legally available for distribution are insufficient to pay these obligations in full, R2 Technologies Preferred Shareholders and holders of any parity securities share the remaining assets in proportion to the full respective amounts to which they are entitled. After receiving the full liquidation preference, R2 Technologies Preferred Shareholders have no further claim to R2 Technologies' assets, except for any new securities or instruments received as part of the liquidation preference. The value of non-cash assets distributed equals their fair market value on the distribution date. No holder of junior securities receives any payment unless the entire liquidation preference of R2 Technologies Preferred Shares is paid. If there is insufficient cash to pay the entire liquidation preference and any liquidation preference in respect of any parity securities in full in cash upon a liquidation event, R2 Technologies Preferred Shareholders and parity securities holders will share available cash proportionally. R2 Technologies' total liquidation preference upon a hypothetical liquidation event, including the liquidation preference for Pansend Life Sciences, LLC, was $140.7 million and $112.3 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, of which $50.8 million and $48.0 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, was attributable to redeemable and non-redeemable non-controlling interests, inclusive of initial preferred stock and unpaid accreted dividends. However, as of both September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, R2 Technologies had negative net assets after consideration of intercompany and third party debt, as applicable, and, therefore, there would be no legally available funds to satisfy such liquidation preferences upon a hypothetical liquidation event. Stockholders’ Rights Agreement - Tax Benefits Preservation Plan On May 6, 2024, the Company terminated its Tax Benefits Preservation Plan entered into on April 1, 2023 (the “2023 Preservation Plan”) because the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the 2023 Preservation Plan was no longer necessary or desirable for the preservation of the Company’s ability to use its tax net operating losses and other certain tax assets. In connection with the termination of the 2023 Preservation Plan, the Company has taken routine actions to deregister the related preferred stock purchase rights under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and to delist the preferred stock purchase rights from the NYSE. These actions were administrative in nature and had no effect on the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed on the NYSE. |
