Equity [Abstract] |
Preferred Stock | 10. PREFERRED STOCK The Company’s articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 100,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value. Shares of preferred stock may be issued with such dividend, liquidation, voting and conversion features as may be determined by the Board of Directors without shareholder approval. The Company is authorized to issue 50,000 shares of Series P preferred stock in connection with a shareholder rights plan that expired in 2011. On December 31, 2020, the Company redeemed all then 50,000 shares outstanding of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”), by making a cash payment of $2.0 million and issuing 328,000 shares of its common stock, which at the date of the redemption had a value of $3.68 per share for a total redemption price of $3.2 million. The liquidation preference on the date of redemption was $3.6 million. The difference between the redemption price and the liquidation preference of the preferred stock was included as a reduction of the net loss available to common shareholders in the calculation of loss per share. The Company had issued the 50,000 shares of Preferred Stock on February 12, 2016, to Mt. Emmons Mining Company (“MEM”), a subsidiary of Freeport McMoRan Inc., in connection with the disposition of the Company’s mining segment, whereby MEM acquired the property and replaced the Company as permittee and operator of a water treatment plant (the “Acquisition Agreement”). The Preferred Stock was issued at $40 per share for an aggregate of $2 million. The Preferred Stock liquidation preference, initially $2 million, increased by quarterly dividends of 12.25% per annum (the “Adjusted Liquidation Preference”). At the option of the holder, each share of Preferred Stock initially could have been converted into 1.33 shares of the Company’s $0.01 par value Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate”) for an aggregate of 66,667 shares. The Conversion Rate was subject to anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and certain reorganization events and to price-based anti-dilution protections, subject to a price floor. At March 31, 2020, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion was 79,334 shares, which was the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion.
