Mezzanine Equity
Note 16 — Mezzanine Equity
On November 1, 2024, Onity issued 2,111,787 shares of a new series of non-convertible, preferred stock (Series B Preferred Stock) with an aggregate liquidation preference amount of $52.8 million ($25.00 per share). The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to all classes of common stock of Onity and have no voting rights except under limited circumstances. The Series B Preferred Stock will accrue cumulative dividends at a rate of 7.875% per year of the preference liquidation value for the first five years, increasing 2.5% each year thereafter up to a maximum rate of 15% per year, which dividends will be payable in cash and in arrears on a quarterly basis when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of Onity.
On and after September 15, 2028, Onity will have the right to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, for cash at a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. If Onity experiences a change of control, as defined, it would be required to offer to repurchase all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon.
The shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued to Waterfall in consideration of an asset acquisition (see Note 5 – Reverse Mortgages) are subject to a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which Onity agreed to file a resale registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 180 days.
The Series B Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity on our consolidated balance sheet as it is contingently redeemable in the event of a change of control that is not solely within Onity’s control. The Series B Preferred Stock is reported at its initial fair value less issuance costs.
A $0.5 million dividend, or $0.24 per share, was declared and distributed in December 2024.
