STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY |
NOTE 10 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
At-the-Market Equity Offering Programs
We maintain at-the-market equity offering programs pursuant to which we sell shares of our common stock from time to time on the NYSE American. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we issued 45.4 million shares of our common stock under our at-the-market equity offering programs for net proceeds of approximately $171.7 million. On December 30, 2022, the Company terminated the Company’s then-existing at-the-market equity offering programs.
On December 30, 2022, the Company entered into a new at-the-market equity offering program pursuant to which the Company may sell shares of its common stock from time to time on the NYSE American for aggregate sales proceeds of up to $500.0 million. We did not sell any shares under this program during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, there were approximately 103.4 million shares available for issuance under the at-the-market equity offering program.
Preferred Stock
In March 2018, we entered into a preferred stock purchase agreement with BDC Oil and Gas Holdings, LLC (“Bechtel Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Bechtel Oil, Gas and Chemicals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which we sold to Bechtel Holdings approximately 6.1 million shares of our Series C convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”).
The holders of the Preferred Stock do not have dividend rights but do have a liquidation preference over holders of our common stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock may convert all or any portion of their shares into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. At any time after “Substantial Completion” of “Project 1,” each as defined in and pursuant to the LSTK EPC Agreement for the Driftwood LNG Phase 1 Liquefaction Facility, dated as of November 10, 2017, or at any time after March 21, 2028, we have the right to cause all of the Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Preferred Stock has been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because including it in the computation would have been antidilutive for the periods presented.
