. Stockholders’ Equity
 
In conjunction with the Business Combination, all common and preferred shares that were in existence for the Predecessor were settled and
no
longer outstanding subsequent to
December 5, 2018.
 
Successor
 
The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of
500,000,000
shares of common stock, par value
$0.0001,
and
10,000,000
shares of preferred stock, par value
$0.0001.
 Immediately following of the Business Combination, there were:
 
 
28,847,707
shares of common stock issued and outstanding;
 
34,100,000
warrants outstanding, each exercisable for
one
share of common stock at an exercise price of
$11.50
 per share; and
 
2,450,980
shares of
zero
-dividend convertible perpetual preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) outstanding, as further discussed below
 
The Company’s Series A Preferred Stock does
not
pay dividends and will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a
1:1
ratio (subject to customary adjustments) at any time following
June 6, 2019.
The Company has the right to elect to redeem all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock at its election after
December 6, 2022
for cash at a redemption price equal to the amount of the principal investment plus an additional cumulative amount that will accrue at an annual rate of
7.0%
thereon. In addition, if the volume weighted average price of shares of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds
$13.00
for
30
consecutive days, then the Company will have the right to require the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock to convert its Series A Preferred Stock into Company common stock, at a ratio of
1:1
(subject to customary adjustments).
 
The Company applies the accounting standards for distinguishing liabilities from equity when determining the classification and measurement of its preferred stock. Conditionally redeemable preferred shares (including preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events
not
solely within the Predecessor’s control) are classified as temporary equity. The Company has performed an analysis of the redemption features contained within the preferred stock and has determined that embedded features other than the change in control feature identified and evaluated have been determined to be solely within the control of the issuer. ASR
268
requires equity instruments with redemption features that are
not
solely within the control of the issuer to be classified outside of permanent equity, often referred to as classification in “temporary equity”. The Company has presented such amounts outside of temporary equity commensurate with the aforementioned guidance.
 
Predecessor
 
Pursuant to the Predecessor’s articles of incorporation, as amended, the Predecessor was authorized to issue
15,000,000
shares of
$0.001
par value common stock and
2,423,711
shares of
$0.001
par value preferred stock.
 
As of
October 31, 2018,
the Predecessor had
7,576,289
shares of common stock issued and outstanding and
2,342,264
preferred shares issued and outstanding. The preferred shares had a liquidation preference of
$11.2
million.
