Note 14: Subsequent Events
On April 27, 2026, the Company entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with various affiliates of CPF, the largest stockholder and debtholder, directly or through affiliates, of the Company (such affiliates, the “Holders”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, approximately $252.5 million, representing the full outstanding balances of the Company’s VGS 1 through VGS 5 unsecured promissory notes, including principal, accrued interest, and back-end fees (collectively, the “Debt”), was exchanged for preferred stock that is not convertible, does not have voting or preemptive rights, is not registered or listed, and has a stated value of $100 per share. The Company may redeem the preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $100.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends.
The Debt was converted into several series of preferred stock having identical terms, other than the dividend rate, with dividends payable only when, as and if declared by the Company’s board or on the occurrence of certain specified liquidity events. At the sole election of the Company, such dividends may be paid in cash legally available for the payment of dividends or in-kind in the form of the issuance of additional shares of preferred stock. Debt exchanges included
$49.8 million for 0.5 million shares of Series A 13.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock; $39.6 million of the Debt was exchanged for 0.4 million shares of Series B 17.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock; and $163.1 of the Debt was exchanged for 1.6 million shares of Series C 19.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock.
In addition to the Exchange Agreement, on the same date, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with affiliates of CPF pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue up to $70.0 million of units (the “Units”) in multiple tranches. The Units consist of (i) shares of the Company’s Series D 19.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), and (ii) warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”), exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 0.66333% of the outstanding Class A and Class V Common Stock of the Company per $1.0 million of amount funded, with an exercise price equal to the Nasdaq Minimum Price on the date of issuance of the applicable warrant and a term of seven years from the date of issuance. The Company sold $10.0 million of Units in the initial closing of the Purchase Agreement and an additional $20.0 million of Units on April 30, 2026. $40.0 million of Units remain available for purchase in future tranches, provided that the conditions to closing such additional purchases are satisfied as of the time of any future closing. The Series D Preferred Stock has terms that are identical to the other series of preferred stock, other than the dividend rate.
The series of preferred stock described above are on parity with each other, and rank, with respect to rights to payment of dividends and distribution of assets in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, senior to all classes or series of the Company’s Common Stock and to all other equity securities issued by the Company.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a third amended and restated letter agreement (the “Third Amended and Restated Letter Agreement”) with Chicago Pacific Founders GP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CPF GP I”), Chicago Pacific Founders GP III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CPF GP III”), and Chicago Pacific Founders GP IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CPF GP IV”) (on behalf of the funds of which CPF GP I is the general partner, certain funds of which CPF GP III is the general partner, certain funds of which CPF GP IV is the general partner and/or certain of their affiliated entities and funds (collectively, the “CPF Parties”)). Pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Letter Agreement, (i) for as long as the CPF Parties own 40% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, CPF will be entitled to designate one additional independent member of the Company’s board of directors, who must be independent and satisfy all applicable requirements regarding service as a director of the Company under applicable law and SEC and stock exchange rules, (ii) for as long as the CPF Parties own 40% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, CPF will be entitled to certain information rights and protective provisions, and (iii) the CPF Parties agreed to extend the standstill restriction from January 1, 2026 to January 1, 2027 that limits the ownership of the CPF Parties to 49.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
