Common Stock [Abstract] |
Common Stock | 13 . COMMON STOCK Common stock Holders of shares of Net1’s common stock are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions when declared by Net1’s board of directors out of legally available funds. Payment of dividends and distributions is subject to certain restrictions under the Florida Business Corporation Act, including the requirement that after making any distribution Net1 must be able to meet its debts as they become due in the usual course of its business. Upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Net1, holders of common stock share ratably in the assets remaining after payments to creditors and provision for the preference of any preferred stock according to its terms. There are no pre- emptive or other subscription rights, conversion rights or redemption or scheduled installment payment provisions relating to shares of common stock. All of the outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share for the election of directors and for all other matters to be voted on by shareholders. Holders of common stock may not cumulate their votes in the election of directors, and are entitled to share equally and ratably in the dividends that may be declared by the board of directors, but only after payment of dividends required to be paid on outstanding shares of preferred stock according to its terms. The shares of Net1 common stock are not subject to redemption. The Company’s number of shares, net of treasury, presented in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of changes in equity includes participating non-vested equity shares (specifically contingently returnable shares) as described below in Note 16 “— Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan—Restricted Stock—General Terms of Awards”. The following table presents a reconciliation between the number of shares, net of treasury, presented in the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the number of shares, net of treasury, excluding non-vested equity shares that have not vested during the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019: 2021 2020 2019 Number of shares, net of treasury: Statement of changes in equity – common stock 56,716,620 57,118,925 56,568,425 Less: Non-vested equity shares that have not vested as of end of year (Note 16) 384,560 1,115,500 583,908 Number of shares, net of treasury excluding non-vested equity shares that have not vested 56,332,060 56,003,425 55,984,517 13. COMMON STOCK (continued) Redeemable common stock issued pursuant to transaction with the IFC Investors Holders of redeemable common stock have all the rights enjoyed by holders of common stock, however, holders of redeemable common stock have additional contractual rights. On April 11, 2016, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with International Finance Corporation, IFC African, Latin American and Caribbean Fund, LP, IFC Financial Institutions Growth Fund, LP, and Africa Capitalization Fund, Ltd. (collectively, the “IFC Investors”). Under the Subscription Agreement, the IFC Investors purchased, and the Company sold in the aggregate, approximately 9.98 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.001 per share, at a price of $ 10.79 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $ 107.7 million. The Company has accounted for these 9.98 million shares as redeemable common stock as a result of the put option discussed below. On May 19, 2020, the Africa Capitalization Fund, Ltd sold its entire holding of 2,103,169 shares of the Company’s common stock and therefore the additional contractual rights, including the put option rights related to these 2,103,169 shares, expired. The Company reclassified $ 22.7 million related to these 2,103,169 shares sold from redeemable common stock to additional paid-in-capital during the year ended June 30, 2020. The Company has entered into a Policy Agreement with the IFC Investors (the “Policy Agreement”). The material terms of the Policy Agreement are described below. Board Rights For so long as the IFC Investors in aggregate beneficially own shares representing at least 5 % of the Company’s common stock, the IFC Investors will have the right to nominate one director to the Company’s board of directors. For so long as the IFC Investors in aggregate beneficially own shares representing at least 2.5 % of the Company’s common stock, the IFC Investors will have the right to appoint an observer to the Company’s board of directors at any time when they have not designated, or do not have the right to designate, a director. Put Option Each IFC Investor will have the right, upon the occurrence of specified triggering events, to require the Company to repurchase all of the shares of its common stock purchased by the IFC Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (or upon exercise of their preemptive rights discussed below). Events triggering this put right relate to (1) the Company being the subject of a governmental complaint alleging, a court judgment finding or an indictment alleging that the Company (a) engaged in specified corrupt, fraudulent, coercive, collusive or obstructive practices; (b) entered into transactions with targets of economic sanctions; or (c) failed to operate its business in compliance with anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws; or (2) the Company rejecting a bona fide offer to acquire all of its outstanding Common Stock at a time when it has in place or implements a shareholder rights plan, or adopting a shareholder rights plan triggered by a beneficial ownership threshold of less than twenty percent. The put price per share will be the higher of the price per share paid by the IFC Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (or paid when exercising their preemptive rights) and the volume weighted average price per share prevailing for the 60 trading days preceding the triggering event, except that with respect to a put right triggered by rejection of a bona fide offer, the put price per share will be the highest price offered by the offeror. The Company believes that the put option has no value and, accordingly, has not recognized the put option in its consolidated financial statements. Registration Rights The Company has agreed to grant certain registration rights to the IFC Investors for the resale of their shares of the Company’s common stock, including filing a resale shelf registration statement and taking certain actions to facilitate resales thereunder. Preemptive Rights For so long as the IFC Investors hold in aggregate 5 % of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, each Investor will have the right to purchase its pro-rata share of new issuances of securities by the Company, subject to certain exceptions. 13. COMMON STOCK (continued) Common stock repurchases Executed under share repurchase authorizations On February 5, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the replenishment of its share repurchase authorization to repurchase up to an aggregate of $ 100 million of common stock. The authorization has no expiration date. The share repurchase authorization will be used at management’s discretion, subject to limitations imposed by SEC Rule 10b-18 and other legal requirements and subject to price and other internal limitations established by the Board. Repurchases will be funded from the Company’s available cash. Share repurchases may be made through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or both. There can be no assurance that the Company will purchase any shares or any particular number of shares. The authorization may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, liquidity and other factors that management deems appropriate. The Company did no t repurchase any of its shares during the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, either under or outside of the authorization.
