Stockholders Equity Note [Abstract] |
Equity | 11. Equity Our common stock has two classes, Class A and Class B. Each holder of our Class A common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Each of our Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. There are no cumulative voting rights. All holders of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock vote as a single class on all matters that are submitted to the shareholders for a vote, except as provided by law or as set forth in our charter. Shareholders may consent to an action in writing and without a meeting under certain circumstances. Jirka Rysavy, our chairman and CEO, holds 100% of our 5,400,000 outstanding shares of Class B common stock and also owns 378,778 shares of Class A common stock. Consequently, our chairman holds approximately 80% of our voting stock and is able to exert substantial influence over and to control matters requiring approval by shareholders, including the election of directors, increasing our authorized capital stock, or a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets. As a result of Mr. Rysavy’s control of us, no change of control can occur without Mr. Rysavy’s consent. Our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Gaia, our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock are entitled to share ratably in our assets remaining after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities. Holders of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock have no preemptive, subscription or redemption rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our Class A common stock or our Class B common stock. Our Class B common stock may not be transferred unless converted into our Class A common stock, other than certain transfers to affiliates, a trust, family members, and charitable organizations. Shares of our Class B common stock are convertible one-for-one into shares of our Class A common stock, at the option of the holder of the Class B common stock. During 2020 and 2019, we issued shares of our Class A common stock as shown in the table below under our 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”).
