It also could affect the likelihood that holders of Common Stock will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. Shares of preferred stock may be offered either separately or represented by depositary shares. Target Hospitality currently has no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date hereof.

Public Warrants
Each Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time. The Public Warrants will expire on March 15, 2024, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Target Hospitality may call the Public Warrants for redemption in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder and if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
The Public Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Public Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Public Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
Public Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Public Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, Target Hospitality will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Public Warrant holder.
Private Warrants
The founders of Platinum Eagle and Platinum Eagle’s former independent directors purchased 5,333,334 Private Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,00 in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with Platinum Eagle’s initial public offering. The Private Warrants may be exercised at any time. So long as the Private Warrants are held by the initial shareholders or their permitted transferees, such warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and will not be redeemable by us. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the initial shareholders or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis
