Share Capital | 10. Share Capital The authorized and outstanding share capital of the Company is below. Class A Common Stock There are 1.0 billion shares of Class A Common Stock authorized, of which 115.9 million shares were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2023. Each share of Class A Common Stock carries one vote and represents an economic interest in the Company. Class B Common Stock During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, each remaining share of Class B Common Stock par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”) then issued and outstanding or held by the Company was reclassified as and converted into 1.25 shares of Class A Common Stock, with any fractional shares to which a holder of shares of Class B Common Stock would have been entitled rounded up to the nearest whole share of Class A Common Stock. As a result, there were no shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2023. Class C Common Stock There are 250.0 million shares of Class C Common Stock authorized, of which 151.6 million shares were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2023. Each share of Class C Common Stock carries one vote and does not represent an economic interest in the Company. Each share of Class C Common Stock is paired with a corresponding common unit of Stagwell Global LLC (“OpCo”) (each such paired share of Class C Common Stock and common unit of OpCo, a “Paired Unit”). Each holder of Paired Units may, at its option, exchange such Paired Units for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis (i.e., one Paired Unit for one share of Class A Common Stock). In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, holders of the Paired Units exchanged approximately nil and 9.3 million Paired Units, respectively, for the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock. Class A Common Stock Repurchases The Company may purchase shares of Class A Common Stock under its stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) as well as repurchases outside of the Repurchase Program. On March 1, 2023, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) authorized an extension and a $125.0 million increase in the size of the Repurchase Program to an aggregate of $250.0 million, with any previous purchases under the Repurchase Program continuing to count against that limit. The Repurchase Program, as amended, will expire on March 1, 2026. Under the Repurchase Program, share repurchases may be made at our discretion from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, including through trading plans that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in privately negotiated transactions, or through other means. The timing and number of shares repurchased under the Repurchase Program will depend on a variety of factors, including the performance of our stock price, general market and economic conditions, regulatory requirements, the availability of funds, and other considerations we deem relevant. The Repurchase Program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Our board of directors will review the Repurchase Program periodically and may authorize adjustments of its terms. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 6.7 million shares of Class A Common Stock were repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Program at an aggregate value, excluding fees, of $42.5 million. These shares were repurchased at an average price of $6.38 per share. The remaining value of shares of Class A Common Stock permitted to be repurchased under the Repurchase Program was $155.7 million as of September 30, 2023. In addition to the repurchases under the Repurchase Program, on May 23, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 23.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock from certain affiliates of AlpInvest Partners B.V. at a price of $6.43 per share, for an aggregate total repurchase price of approximately $150.0 million. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Board adopted the 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which was approved at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders held on June 14, 2023. A total of 3.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock is reserved for sale under the ESPP to eligible employees as defined in the plan. Under the ESPP, eligible employees can elect to withhold up to 15% of their earnings, subject to certain maximums, to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock on certain plan-defined dates. The purchase price for each offering period is 92.5% of the fair market value of shares of Class A Common Stock at the end of the offering period. The plan is considered compensatory resulting in the fair value of the discount being expensed over the service period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no material costs incurred by the Company related to the ESPP and contributions to the ESPP were nominal.
