STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Preferred Stock
Our Board of Directors has the authority, without approval by the stockholders, to issue up to a total of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. The Board may establish the number of shares to be included in each such series and may fix the designations, preferences, powers and other rights of the shares of a series of preferred stock. The Board could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could dilute the voting power or rights of the holders of our Common Stock. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
Common Stock
Pursuant to our restated certificate of incorporation, as of December 31, 2024, the Board had the authority to issue up to a total of 100,500,000 shares of Common Stock. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on any matter that is submitted to a vote of stockholders. In addition, holders of our Common Stock will vote as a single class of stock on any matter that is submitted to a vote of stockholders.
Share Repurchase Program
In May 2018, the Board authorized us to repurchase up to $300.0 million of our Common Stock under our share repurchase program. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we did not repurchase any shares under the program. As of December 31, 2024, $245.0 million of Common Stock remained available for purchase under our program. The timing and amount of share repurchases, if any, will be determined based on market conditions, limitations under the 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes, share price, available cash and other factors, and the share repurchase program may be terminated at any time.
Rights Offering
On November 7, 2023, the Board approved an $80.0 million fully backstopped Rights Offering to our stockholders of record of our Common Stock, as of the close of business on November 20, 2023. To be able to execute the Rights Offering, the Credit Agreement was amended. See Note 7, Financing Arrangements, for additional information.
The Rights Offering was made through the distribution of non-transferable subscription rights to purchase shares of Common Stock at a subscription price of $11.30 per share and otherwise on such terms and subject to
such conditions as may be required to comply with any applicable Nasdaq Global Market stock exchange rules and regulations. The subscription period for the Rights Offering expired at the Expiration Date.
The Rights Offering was fully backstopped by the Backstop Party, an entity affiliated with (i) Dusan Senkypl, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board, and (ii) Jan Barta, a member of the Board. The Backstop Party had a binding commitment to (i) fully exercise its pro rata subscription right prior to the Expiration Date and (ii) fully purchase any and all unsubscribed shares in the Rights Offering following the Expiration Date at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as other participants in the Rights Offering.
On January 22, 2024, Groupon announced the closing of the fully backstopped Rights Offering, in which 7,079,646 shares of Common Stock were purchased at $11.30 per share, generating $80.0 million in gross proceeds to the Company. As detailed below, the Rights Offering was oversubscribed, and the subscriptions, inclusive of the exercise of all over-subscription privileges well exceeded $80.0 million, the maximum aggregate offering size of the Rights Offering.
Through the exercise of both basic subscription rights and over-subscription privileges the Backstop Party, subscribed for approximately 7.1 million shares and other stockholders subscribed for approximately 9.7 million shares. The Company issued 4,574,113 shares of Common Stock via the exercise of the basic subscription rights and 2,505,533 shares of Common Stock via the exercise of over-subscription privileges. The Backstop Party purchased approximately 3.1 million shares of Common Stock in connection with the Rights Offering.
