​ Prior to the Business Combination, Old SES had outstanding shares of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series C plus, Series D, and Series D plus redeemable convertible preferred stock. Upon the Closing, holders of these outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock received shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount determined by application of the Exchange Ratio, as discussed in “Note 3 — Business Combination.” The rights of holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are identical, except with respect to voting. The holder of each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote, while the holder of each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes. Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible on a one-for-one basis into a share of Class A Common Stock at the holder’s option or otherwise automatically upon the occurrence of certain events, namely: (i) each share of Class B Common Stock that is transferred by SES Founder Group, or certain permitted transferee holders (“Qualified Holders”), will convert into a share of Class A Common Stock; (ii) all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock will convert into shares of Class A Common Stock if the SES Founder Group or Qualified Holders collectively cease to beneficially own at least 20 percent of the number of shares of Class B Common Stock (as such number of shares is equitably adjusted in respect of any reclassification, stock dividend, subdivision, combination or recapitalization of the Class B Common Stock) collectively held by the SES Founder Group and Qualified Holders of Class B Common Stock as of the time the Business Combination took effect; or (iii) all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock will convert into shares of Class A Common Stock upon the date specified by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class. Each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share and each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are referred to as Common Stock throughout the notes to these financial statements, unless otherwise noted. Preferred Stock Pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share. The Company’s board of directors has the authority to issue preferred stock and to determine the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions, including voting rights of such preferred stock. As of September 30, 2022, no shares of the Company’s preferred stock were issued and outstanding. Dividends Common stock is entitled to dividends when and if declared by the Company’s board of directors, subject to the rights of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights to dividends. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on common stock to date. The Company may retain future earnings, if any, for the further development and expansion of its business and has no current plans to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Common Stock Warrants Prior to the Business Combination, Ivanhoe issued 9,200,000 Public Warrants and 5,013,333 Private Warrants. Prior to the Business Combination, Ivanhoe amended the terms of the Warrants, as discussed in “Significant Accounting Policies – Common Stock Warrants” in Note 2 – Basis of Presentation, resulting in the Warrants being classified as a component of stockholders’ equity. There is an effective registration statement and prospectus relating to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Public Warrants Public Warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 and the Company may, in its sole discretion, reduce the exercise price of the Public Warrants to induce early exercise, provided that adequate notice is provided to warrant holders pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may also be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. In no event is the Company required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days following the Business Combination and expire at the earliest of five years following the Business Combination, liquidation of the Company, or the date of redemption elected at our option provided that the value of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $18.00 per share. Under certain circumstances, the Company may elect to redeem the Public Warrants at a redemption price of $0.01 per Public Warrant at any time during the term of the Warrant in which the Class A Common Stock share trading price has been at least $18.00 per share for 20 trading days within the 30 trading-day period. If the Company elects to redeem the Warrants, it must notify the Public Warrant holders in advance, who would then have at least 30 days from the date of notification to exercise their respective Warrants. If any such Warrants are not exercised within that 30-day period, they will be redeemed pursuant to this provision. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding Public Warrants to purchase 9,199,947 shares of Class A Common Stock. Private Warrants The Private Warrants have similar terms to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Warrants are not redeemable. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding Private Warrants to purchase 5,013,333 shares of Class A Common Stock.
