Equity Units. On April 19, 2021, we completed the sale of 8.625 million Equity Units, initially consisting of Corporate Units, each with a stated amount of $100. The offering generated net proceeds of $835.5 million, after underwriting and issuance expenses. Each Corporate Unit consisted of a forward contract to purchase shares of our common stock in the future and a 1/10th, or 10%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in one share of Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock was pledged upon issuance as collateral to secure the purchase of common stock under the related purchase contracts. The Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock did not bear any dividends and the liquidation preference did not accrete.

Pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, we were required to attempt a remarketing of the Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock prior to December 1, 2023. On November 17, 2023, we announced the unsuccessful final remarketing of our Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. On December 1, 2023, we issued 33,898,837 shares of our common stock under the purchase contract component of the Corporate Units based upon the per-share daily volume weighted average of our common stock over a consecutive 40-day trading period ending on November 29, 2023. As of December 1, 2023, each holder of Corporate Units was deemed to have automatically delivered to us the related Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock that were components of the Corporate Units in full satisfaction of such holder’s obligations under the related purchase contract, and all shares of Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock were returned to the status of authorized but unissued preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share, without designation as to series. We voluntarily delisted the Corporate Units from the New York Stock Exchange.
We paid quarterly contract adjustment payments at the rate of 7.75% per year on the stated amount of $100 per Equity Unit. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the purchase contract liability was zero and $65.0 million, respectively. Purchase contract payments were recorded against this liability. Accretion of the purchase contract liability was recorded as interest expense. Cash payments of $66.8 million were made during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
We accounted for the Corporate Units as a single unit of account and recorded the initial present value of the purchase contract payments as a liability with a corresponding reduction to preferred stock. As of December 31, 2023, the balance of the Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock was $0.0 million and during the fourth quarter of 2023 we recorded the settlement of the forward purchase contract as an increase to common stock and additional paid-in capital.
