Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' Equity

Pursuant to the Company's certificate of incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue up to 140,000,000 shares of common stock $0.01 par value per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock $0.01 par value per share. As of September 30, 2017, there were 53,446,284 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

On March 31, 2017, the board of managers declared a cash distribution payable to holders of our then outstanding Class A Units, Class B Units and Class C Units as of March 27, 2017, resulting in distributions to such holders in the aggregate amount of $190.0 million (the “Special Distribution”). In connection with the conversion of Warrior Met Coal, LLC into Warrior Met Coal, Inc., the Class C Units, which were issued pursuant to the 2016 Equity Plan, were converted into restricted shares (the "Restricted Shares") of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, and the Special Distribution with respect to such Restricted Shares was not paid but held in trust pending their vesting. As of September 30, 2017 (Successor), approximately $3.1 million is held in the trust and is included within other long term assets in the accompanying Condensed Balance Sheets.

On June 1, 2017, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the board of directors approved the modification described below (the “Modification”) to the award agreements (the “Awards”) for the Restricted Shares to certain officers, directors and employees of the Company. Pursuant to the Modification, the Committee waived certain vesting requirements with respect to the Special Distribution for the Restricted Shares such that funds currently held in trust as described above with respect to the Special Distribution will vest immediately for recipients that received less than $100.0 thousand and for recipients that received greater than $100.0 thousand, 50% of the Restricted Shares vest immediately. However, funds held in trust with respect to the Special Distribution for the remaining 50% of the Restricted Shares will not be released until such shares vest pursuant to the original terms of the Awards on the basis of the passage of time and the Company’s achievement of certain metrics.

In addition and pursuant to the Modification, the holders of the Restricted Shares were permitted to elect to receive the 2017 Dividend released from trust as described above with respect to their Restricted Shares (i) 100% in cash; (ii) 50% in cash and 50% in restricted stock units (“RSUs”); or (iii) 100% in RSUs.

In connection with the Modification, the Committee approved a form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “RSU Award Agreement”) pursuant to the 2017 Equity Plan on June 1, 2017 (the “Grant Date”) for those Holders who elected to receive the Special Distribution, in whole or in part, in RSUs (the “Participants”). The RSU Award Agreement provides that RSUs awarded pursuant to the Modification shall be fully vested on the Grant Date and shall be settled in shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis on the earliest of (i) one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date; (ii) a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan); (iii) the Participant’s separation from service with the Company or its affiliates; or (iv) death of the Participant.

In connection with the Modification, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017(Successor), the Company recognized a reduction to dividends payable of $0.2 million associated with the holders that elected to receive cash and $1.3 million was treated as an adjustment to equity for those that elected RSUs. Also, due to the Company's IPO, the Company recognized approximately $0.6 million of stock compensation expense for awards granted under the 2016 Equity Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (Successor), the Company also recognized approximately $0.5 million of compensation expense for awards granted under the 2017 Equity Plan.
