November 2020 Warrants
The Company issued approximately 1.75 million November 2020 Warrants in conjunction with the November 2020 Second Lien Notes that were issued in the senior unsecured note exchange described above. The Company determined that the November 2020 Warrants qualify as freestanding financial instruments, but meet the scope exception in ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging as they are indexed to the Company’s common stock. As such, the November 2020 Warrants meet the applicable criteria for equity classification and are reflected in additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. See “Note 7 - Borrowings” and “Note 18 - Subsequent Events” for additional information.
Reverse Stock Split
On August 7, 2020, the Board of Directors effected a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10 and reduced the total number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders on June 8, 2020. The reverse stock split became effective as of the close of business on August 7, 2020. The Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on the NYSE at the market open on August 10, 2020. The par value of the common stock was not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split.
The reverse stock split was intended to, among other things, increase the per share trading price of the Company’s common shares to satisfy the $1.00 minimum closing price requirement for continued listing on the NYSE. As a result of the reverse stock split, each 10 pre-split shares of common stock outstanding were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. The fractional shares that resulted from the reverse stock split were canceled by paying cash in lieu of the fair value. The number of outstanding shares of common stock were reduced from 397,479,684 as of August 7, 2020 to 39,746,967 shares. The total number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue was reduced from 525,000,000 to 52,500,000 shares. All share and per share amounts, except par value per share, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto were retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this reverse stock split, including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in par value of common stock to additional paid-in capital in the current period.
10% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”)
On June 18, 2019, the Company announced it had given notice for the redemption (the “Redemption”) of all outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock. On July 18, 2019 (the “Redemption Date”), the Preferred Stock were redeemed at a redemption price equal to $50.00 per share, plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends in an amount equal to $0.24 per share, for a total redemption price of $50.24 per share or $73.0 million (the “Redemption Price”). The Company recognized an $8.3 million loss on the redemption due to the excess of the $73.0 million redemption price over the $64.7 million redemption date carrying value of the Preferred Stock. After the Redemption Date, the Preferred Stock were no longer deemed outstanding, dividends on the Preferred Stock ceased to accrue, and all rights of the holders with respect to such Preferred Stock were terminated, except the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price, without interest. As such, no Preferred Stock dividends were paid during 2020. The Company paid Preferred Stock dividends of $4.0 million and $7.3 million for years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Common Stock Offerings
On May 30, 2018, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 25.3 million shares of its common stock for total estimated net proceeds (after the underwriter’s discounts and offering costs) of approximately $288.0 million. The Company used proceeds from the offering to partially fund the Delaware Asset Acquisition completed in the third quarter of 2018. See “Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures” for further discussion of the Delaware Asset Acquisition.
