Stockholders' Equity | 10. Stockholders' Equity Common and Preferred Stock The common stock has a par value of 0.0001 per share. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote at all meetings of stockholders. The number of authorized shares of common stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of capital stock of the Company representing a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends, when, if and as declared by our board of directors, whenever funds are legally available therefore, subject to the priority rights of any outstanding preferred stock. See “ Note 9. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ” for a description of our Series A Preferred Stock, which is the only class of preferred stock outstanding. Share repurchase program In 2023, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Plan”) in the aggregate amount of up to $25 million that would allow the Company to repurchase shares of its issued and outstanding Common Stock, from time to time in the open market or otherwise including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan and in compliance with Rule10b-18 under the Exchange Act so long as the aggregate purchase price paid for such transactions does not exceed $25 million for all such purchases. The authorization does not have a specified expiration date. Accordingly, unless terminated earlier by resolution of the Board, the Share Repurchase Plan will expire when the Company has repurchased all shares authorized for repurchase. In fiscal year 2024, the Company’s net stock repurchases are subject to a 1 percent excise tax under the Inflation Reduction Act. The excise tax is included as a reduction to accumulated deficit in the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders equity. Total accrued excise tax of $0.2 million is included in total cost of shares repurchases, excluded from average cost per share and excluded from total cash paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as amounts were unpaid at period end. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 2,242,654 shares of Common Stock, for a total of $7.9 million cash paid under the Share Repurchase Plan. As of March 31, 2024, approximately $2.8 million remained available for additional share repurchases. The Company is not obligated to acquire any particular amount of Common Stock and may modify or suspend the repurchases at any time in the Company’s discretion. Tax Benefit Preservation Plan and Preferred Stock Purchase Rights On May 2, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock of the Company as of May 12, 2023 (the “Record Date”). 32,441,010 Rights were issued to the holders of record of shares of Common Stock. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in a Tax Benefit Preservation Plan, dated as of May 2, 2023, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), between the Company and Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC, as Rights Agent. By adopting the Plan, the Board of Directors is seeking to protect the Company’s ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and other tax attributes to offset potential future income tax liabilities. The Company’s ability to use such NOLs and other tax attributes would be substantially limited if the Company experiences an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Generally, an “ownership change” occurs if the percentage of the Company’s stock owned by one or more “five percent stockholders” increases by more than fifty percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock owned by such stockholders at any time during the prior three-year period or, if sooner, since the last “ownership change” experienced by the Company. The Plan is intended to make it more difficult for the Company to undergo an ownership change by deterring any person from acquiring 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of stock without the approval of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors believes it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to reduce the likelihood of an ownership change, which could harm the Company’s future operating results by effectively increasing the Company future tax liabilities. The Rights trade with, and are inseparable from, the Common Stock, and the record holders of shares of Common Stock are the record holders of the Rights. The Rights are evidenced only by certificates (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, by notations in the book-entry account system) that represent shares of Common Stock. Rights will also be issued in respect of any shares of Common Stock that shall become outstanding after the Record Date (including upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company) and, subject to certain exceptions specified in the Plan, prior to the earlier of the Distribution Date (as defined below) and the Expiration Date (as defined below). The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. After the Distribution Date, each Right will be exercisable to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Series B Preferred”), at a purchase price of $18.00 per one one-thousandth of a share of Series B Preferred (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan. The “Distribution Date” is the earlier of (i) the close of business on the tenth day after the public announcement that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person (as defined below) or that discloses information which reveals the existence of an Acquiring Person or such earlier date as a majority of the Board shall become aware of the existence of an Acquiring Person (the date described in this clause (i), the “Stock Acquisition Date”) and (ii) the close of business on the tenth business day (or such later date as the Board of Directors shall determine prior to such time as any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person) after the date that a tender or exchange offer by any person is commenced, the consummation of which would result in such person becoming an Acquiring Person. A person or group becomes an “Acquiring Person” upon acquiring beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, except in certain situations specified in the Plan. The Rights will expire on the earliest of (a) the close of business on May 1, 2024, (b) the time at which the Rights are redeemed or exchanged pursuant to the Plan, or (c) the time at which the Board of Directors determines that the Tax Benefits are utilized in all material respects or that an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code would not adversely impact in any material respect the time period in which the Company could use the Tax Benefits, or materially impair the amount of the Tax Benefits that could be used by the Company in any particular time period, for applicable tax purposes (such earliest date, the “Expiration Date”). Until a Right is exercised or exchanged, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company by virtue of holding such Right, including, without limitation, the right to vote and to receive dividends. The Board of Directors may adjust the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Series B Preferred issuable and the number of outstanding Rights to prevent dilution that may occur from a stock dividend, a stock split, a reclassification of the Series B Preferred or Common Stock or certain other specified transactions. No adjustments to the Purchase Price of less than 1% are required to be made. In connection with the adoption of the Plan, the Board of Directors approved a Certificate of Designations of the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”). The Certificate of Designations was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 2, 2023. Each one one-thousandth of a share of Series B Preferred, if issued: • Will not be redeemable. • Will entitle holders to quarterly dividend payments of $0.001 per one one-thousandth of a share of Series B Preferred, or an amount equal to the dividend paid on one share of Common Stock, whichever is greater. • Will entitle holders upon liquidation either to receive $0.001 per one one-thousandth of a share of Series B Preferred, or an amount equal to the payment made on one share of Common Stock, whichever is greater. • Will have the same voting power as one share of Common Stock. • If shares of Common Stock are exchanged as a result of a merger, consolidation, or a similar transaction, will entitle holders to a per share payment equal to the payment made on one share of Common Stock. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income consists of two elements, net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) items are recorded in the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are excluded from net loss. Our other comprehensive income consists primarily of foreign currency translation adjustments for subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, unrealized translation losses on intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries, and unrealized gains on interest rate swaps. The following table shows the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes, (“AOCI”) in the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets at the dates indicated (in thousands): March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Foreign currency translation adjustment $ (22,558) $ (19,947) Unrealized translation loss on intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries, net of taxes (4,742) (3,330) Unrealized gain on interest rate swaps 15,889 14,270 Realized gain on interest rate swap sale, net of amounts reclassified into interest expense, net 13,718 15,175 Total accumulated other comprehensive income $ 2,307 $ 6,168 The Company has intercompany loans that were used to fund the acquisitions of foreign subsidiaries. Due to the long-term nature of the loans, the unrealized translation gains (losses) resulting from re-measurement are recognized as a component of AOCI. The unrealized translation gains (losses) on intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries as of March 31, 2024 is net of income tax expense of $3.2 million. The tax provision (benefit) to unrealized translation gains (losses) on intercompany three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 was $0.1 million benefit and $0.5 million detriment, respectively. The income tax expense/benefit allocated to each component of other comprehensive income for all other periods and components is not material. The Company reclassifies taxes from AOCI to earnings as the items to which the tax effects relate are similarly reclassified. The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies. Results of operations for foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars (“USD”) using the average exchange rates on a monthly basis during the year. The assets and liabilities of those subsidiaries are translated into USD using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The related translation adjustments are recorded in a separate component of stockholders' equity in AOCI. Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense from all awards in the following expense categories included in our condensed consolidated statements of income were as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Cost of revenue $ 186 $ 302 Research and development 606 655 Sales and marketing 397 576 General and administrative 2,333 4,929 Total $ 3,522 $ 6,462 Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSU”) Beginning in 2019, the Company began granting restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) under its 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, in lieu of restricted stock awards, primarily for stock plan administrative purposes. Since 2022, fifty percent of the equity awards granted to our Chief Executive Officer were PSUs. The 2024 and 2023 PSU agreements provide that the quantity of units subject to vesting may range from 0% to 300% and 0% to 200%, respectively, of the units granted based on the Company's absolute total shareholder return (“TSR”) at the end of the 36 month performance periods. The following table summarizes PSU and RSU activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024: Number of Units Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested restricted units outstanding as of December 31, 2023 1,858,847 $ 9.76 Granted 2,017,687 4.23 Vested (467,524) 8.70 Forfeited (121,673) 9.92 Unvested restricted units outstanding as of March 31, 2024 3,287,337 $ 6.51 The PSU and RSU activity table above includes PSU units granted that are based on a 100% target payout. Compensation expense is recognized over the required service period of the grant. The fair value of the RSUs is determined based on the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value of the PSUs is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model and is not subject to fluctuation due to achievement of the underlying market-based target. Significant assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model for the PSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023 are as follows: March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Expected volatility 62.1% 55.5% Risk-free interest rate 4.0% 4.4% Remaining performance period (in years) 3.08 2.86 Dividend yield — — Stock Option Activity Stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was as follows: Number of Weighted– Outstanding at December 31, 2023 149,914 $ 11.44 Options expired (8,215) 6.22 Outstanding at March 31, 2024 141,699 $ 11.72 |
