As of the date of this prospectus, we have not been advised by the selling stockholders as to any plan of distribution. Distributions of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders, or by their partners, pledgees, donees (including charitable organizations), transferees or other successors in interest, may from time to time be offered for sale either directly by such individual, or through underwriters, dealers or agents or on any exchange on which the shares of common stock may from time to time be traded, in theover-the-counter market, or in independently negotiated transactions or otherwise. The methods by which the shares of common stock may be sold include:
| 1. | privately negotiated transactions; |
| 2. | underwritten transactions; |
| 3. | exchange distributions and/or secondary distributions; |
| 4. | sales in theover-the-counter market; |
| 5. | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; |
| 6. | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| 7. | a block trade (which may involve a cross trade) in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| 8. | purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus; |
| 9. | short sales; |
| 10. | through the writing of options on the shares, whether or not the options are listed on an options exchange; |
| 11. | through the distribution of the shares by any selling stockholders to its partners, members or stockholders; |
| 12. | a combination of any such methods; and |
| 13. | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock pursuant to an exemption from regulation pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Transactions may be effected by the selling stockholders at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may effect such transactions by selling the securities to underwriters or through broker-dealers, and such underwriters or broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts or commissions from the selling stockholders and may receive commissions from the purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agent. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any underwriter,broker-dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares of common stock against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have agreed to register the shares of common stock for sale under the Securities Act and to indemnify the selling stockholders and each person who participates as an underwriter in the offering of the shares of common stock against certain civil liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
In connection with sales of the securities under this prospectus, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, who may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders also may sell securities short and deliver them to close their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell them.
11
The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424 or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on sale of the securities by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any underwriter, dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
There can be no assurances that the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the securities offered under this prospectus.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock
We have authorized 205,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of January 14, 2020, we had: (i) 226 holders of record of common stock and 129,113,558 shares of common stock outstanding; (ii) no shares of Series A Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.04 (“Series A Preferred Stock”) outstanding; (iii) no Series B Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.04 (“Series B Preferred Stock”) outstanding; and (iv) eight holders of record of Series C Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.04 (“Series C Preferred Stock”), and 2,700,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding.
Common Stock
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share with respect to each matter presented to our stockholders on which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote. Unless specified in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation (including any certificate of designation of preferred stock) or the bylaws of the Company, or as required by applicable provisions of the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”) or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote on a matter is required to approve any such matter voted on by the Company’s stockholders.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. No share of common stock affords any preemptive rights or is convertible, redeemable, assessable or entitled to the benefits of any sinking or repurchase fund. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends from the Company when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”).
Preferred Stock
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation authorizes 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our Board is expressly granted authority to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issue of such series and as may be permitted by the TBOC. Our Board is able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have antitakeover effects. The ability of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. No shares of preferred stock are being issued or registered in this offering.
Series A Preferred Stock
On September 17, 2019, the Company issued 789,474 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock ranked equal to the Common Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation. The Series A Preferred Stock was entitled to vote onan as-converted basis on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, with voting rights of the Series A Preferred Stock equal to 19.99% of the Common Stock outstanding prior to the closing of the Company’s public offering of common stock on September 17, 2019.
13
On December 12, 2019, 789,474 shares of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 7,894,740 shares of common stock (the “Series A Conversion”) and, upon the Series A Conversion, such outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were cancelled.
Series B Preferred Stock
On November 1, 2019, the Company issued 1,102,838 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock ranked equal to the common stock, the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation. The Series B Preferred Stock was entitled to vote on anas-converted basis on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders.
On December 12, 2019, 1,102,838 shares of Series B Preferred Stock automatically converted into 11,028,380 shares of common stock (the “Series B Conversion”) and, upon the Series B Conversion, such outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock were cancelled.
Series C Preferred Stock
On December 23, 2019, the Company issued 2,700,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks equal to the common stock, the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation. The Series C Preferred Stock has no voting rights.
No dividends shall accrue or be payable on the Series C Preferred Stock until December 23, 2020. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board and declared by the Company, cash dividends of ten percent (10%) of the $2.50 original issue price per annum on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock. Such dividends shall accrue from December 23, 2020, and shall cease to accrue on the date immediately preceding the date of the Series C Conversion (as defined below). Following such date, subject to compliance with the Company’s credit agreement, dividends shall be payable quarterly in cash on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning December 31, 2020, when, as and if declared by the Board, until the time of the Series C Conversion; provided, however, when there are no shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, no dividends, including any dividends which have accrued, shall be payable to the holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock or the holders of the shares of common stock into which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock convert.
Each of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock has agreed to restrictions on its ability to dispose of shares of Series C Preferred Stock without the prior written consent of the Company until six months from December 23, 2020. Upon shareholder approval, each share of Series C Preferred Stock will automatically convert into one common share (the “Series C Conversion”) and, upon the Series C Conversion, the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be cancelled.
Dividends
Holders of common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available. Therefore, any decision to pay future dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, as we currently intend to retain all future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. Our credit facility currently restricts our ability to pay cash dividends on our common stock, and we may also enter into credit agreements or other borrowing arrangements in the future that restrict or limit our ability to pay cash dividends on our common stock.
No dividends shall accrue or be payable on the Series C Preferred Stock until December 23, 2020. Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board and declared by the
14
Company, cash dividends of ten percent (10%) of the $2.50 original issue price per annum on each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock. Such dividends shall accrue from December 23, 2020, and shall cease to accrue on the date immediately preceding the date of the Series C Conversion (as defined below). Following such date, subject to compliance with the Company’s credit agreement, dividends shall be payable quarterly in cash on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning December 31, 2020, when, as and if declared by the Board, until the time of the Series C Conversion; provided, however, when there are no shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, no dividends, including any dividends which have accrued, shall be payable to the holders of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock or the holders of the shares of common stock into which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock convert.
Election of Directors
Our Board consists of one class of six directors. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.
Registration Rights
On (i) September 17, 2019, in connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Series A Registration Rights Agreement”) with the selling stockholders thereunder relating to the registration of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Registrable Securities”); (ii) November 1, 2019, in connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Series B Registration Rights Agreement”) with the selling stockholders thereunder relating to the registration of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Registrable Securities”); and (iii) December 23, 2019, in connection with the closing of the Company’s private placement of 19,000,000 shares of common stock, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Common Stock Registration Rights Agreement” and together with the Series A Registration Rights Agreement and the Series B Registration Rights Agreement, the “Registration Rights Agreements”) with the selling stockholders thereunder relating to the registration of such shares of common stock (the “Common Stock Registrable Securities” and together with the Series A Registrable Securities and Series B Registrable Securities, the “Registrable Securities”).

On December 23, 2019, in connection with the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Series C Registration Rights Agreement”) with the selling stockholders thereunder relating to the registration of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Registrable Securities”). We will bear all expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Series C Registrable Securities. The Series C Registration Rights Agreement also includes customary provisions regarding indemnification and contribution.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Certificate of Formation and Bylaws
Texas Anti-Takeover Law
Pursuant to its governing documents, the Company has opted out of Texas statutory equivalent of DGCL Section 203 (the “Texas Anti-takeover Statute”); however, the Company’s bylaws incorporate anti-takeover provisions (the “Bylaw Anti-takeover Provisions”) that are based on the Texas Anti-takeover Statute. These Bylaw Anti-takeover Provisions give the Company flexibility to engage in certain beneficial transactions with
15
any of its shareholder while still providing the appropriate level of anti-takeover protections for a corporation of the Company’s size and shareholder base. Specifically, the Bylaw Anti-takeover Provisions include substantially the same restrictions that are provided for under the Texas Anti-takeover Statute, provided that those restrictions do not apply to (i) Goff at any time that he owns less than 23% of the Company’s outstanding shares (or such higher ownership threshold as may be approved by the Board in advance) or (ii) a transaction between the Company and any person that holds more than 20% of the Company’s outstanding shares if such transaction is approved in advance by (A) a majority of the continuing and unaffiliated directors of the Company and (B) holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares.
Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock
The listing requirements of the NYSE American, which would apply so long as the common stock remains listed on the NYSE American, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of common stock. Authorized shares may be issued for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.
One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock or preferred stock may be to enable our Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
Rule 144
Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.
Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:
| • | 1% of the total number of shares of common stock then outstanding; or |
| • | average weekly reported trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale. |
Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent for our common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC.
Listing
Our common stock is listed on the NYSE American and trades under the symbol “MCF.”
