Kloosterboer Preference Shares

As discussed in Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests, upon the completion of the IPO, the Preference Shares became mandatorily redeemable financial instruments and were reclassified to Other long-term liabilities. On October 1, 2026, all outstanding Preference Shares, including all unpaid accrued preferential dividends, shall be mandatorily redeemed in exchange for cash or a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock. To the extent the Co-Investor elects to receive shares of the Company’s common stock, the number of variable shares would be based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the business day immediately prior to the redemption date. The Co-Investor continues to have an annual redemption right which would require the Company to redeem all, or a portion of, the outstanding Preference Shares, includingall related unpaid, accrued preferential dividends in cash. Assuming the Co-Investor does not exercise its early redemption options, the maximum economic payout in order to redeem the Kloosterboer Preference Shares, including all unpaid accrued preferential dividends on October 1, 2026, would be€260 million.

The Company’s initial recording of the Kloosterboer Preference Shares liability was at a fair value of $251 million. The initial fair value was determined utilizing a Black-Derman-Toy lattice model, which takes into consideration the Co-Investor’s annual early redemption options and a credit-adjusted discount rate. The difference of $20 million between the then carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest and the fair value upon reclassification was recorded as an adjustment to Additional paid-in capital - common stock in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity.

Subsequent to the reclassification, the liability will be accreted up to the October 1, 2026 redemption value using an effective interest method. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $2.0 million of related expense within Interest expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
