We believe all of our transactions with Glencore and BHH are at prices that approximate market. Glencore ownership As of June 30, 2019, Glencore plc and its affiliates (together "Glencore") beneficially owned 42.9% of Century’s outstanding common stock (47.0% on a fully-diluted basis assuming the conversion of all of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) and all of our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. See Note 7. Shareholders' Equity for a description of our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. From time to time Century and Glencore enter into various transactions for the purchase and sale of primary aluminum, purchase and sale of alumina, certain forward financial contracts and loan agreements. Sales to Glencore For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 we derived 64.5% and 60.1%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales from sales to Glencore, while for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we derived 64.0% and 62.6%, respectively, of our consolidated net sales from sales to Glencore. Glencore purchases the aluminum we produce for resale. Glencore purchases aluminum produced at our North American smelters at prices based on the London Metal Exchange (the "LME") plus the Midwest regional delivery premium and any product premiums.

We have entered into agreements with Glencore pursuant to which we sell certain amounts of alumina at prices that approximate market.
