Preferred Share Issuance and Merger | Preferred Share Issuance and Merger Preferred Stock On August 11, 2015, the Company issued and sold to BCP IV GrafTech Holdings LP, an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield”) (i) 136,616 shares of a new Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), convertible into 19.9% of the shares of common stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such issuance and (ii) 13,384 shares of a new Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock,” and, together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $150,000,000 in cash (the “Purchase Price”), under the Investment Agreement dated May 4, 2014 (the “Investment Agreement”) between the Company and Brookfield. The closing of such issuance and sale occurred after the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Company reimbursed Brookfield for $500,000 in out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred by Brookfield in connection with the transaction. The proceeds from the issuance and sale were used by the Company, along with funds available under the Company’s $40 million delayed draw term loan facility, Revolving Facility and cash on hand, to prepay the Company’s $200 million Senior Subordinated Notes due November 30, 2015. Merger Agreement On May 18, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated May 17, 2015, with Brookfield (called “Parent” therein) and Athena Acquisition Subsidiary Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 26, 2015, Parent commenced a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of the Company, at a purchase price of $5.05 per Share in cash (the “Offer Price”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 26, 2015 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”). On August 14, 2015, Acquisition Sub accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer, and payment of the Offer Price for such Shares was made promptly. On August 17, 2015, Acquisition Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, each Share that was not tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer (other than canceled Shares, dissenting Shares and Shares held by the Company’s subsidiaries or Parent’s subsidiaries (other than Acquisition Sub)) was canceled and converted into cash consideration in an amount equal to the Offer Price. Business Combination The computation of the fair value of the total consideration at the date of acquisition follows:
Purchase Consideration |  |  |  |  |  |
(In thousands except share price) |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | # Shares |  | Unit Price |  | Amount
