Stockholders' Equity Stockholders’ Equity
The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 500.0 million shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share, and 50.0 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2023, there were 41.4 million shares of common stock issued and 36.5 million outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. All outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

On January 7, 2021, the Merger was consummated pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Prior to the Merger, LF Capital was authorized to issue, and had outstanding, two classes of common shares, Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Upon the consummation of the Merger, all issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock converted to shares of Class A. Public stockholders were offered the opportunity to redeem, upon closing of the Merger, shares of Class A common stock for cash. Following the Merger, the Company’s equity was retroactively adjusted to reflect the 32.6 million shares of common stock issued to Landsea Holdings.

Stock Repurchases

In January 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program. The program allowed for the repurchase of up to $10.0 million worth of common stock, inclusive of associated fees. The authorization to effect stock repurchases expired on June 30, 2022, with no remaining capacity to repurchase common stock. In April 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an extension of the stock repurchase program for an additional $10.0 million of capacity to repurchase common stock, with an expiration of December 31, 2022. In June 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a repurchase of 4,398,826 shares of our common stock directly from the Company’s majority shareholder for $30.0 million, or a per-share price of $6.82.

During the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company repurchased 5,625,352 shares of common stock for a total of $40.3 million, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. A portion of these shares were repurchased directly from the Company’s majority shareholder. Refer to Note 11 – Related Party Transactions for additional information. The remaining authorization of $9.7 million expired unused as of December 31, 2022.

In March 2023, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program allowing for the repurchase of up to $10.0 million worth of common stock with an expiration of December 31, 2023. In July 2023, the Board of Directors authorized additional capacity of approximately $3.3 million, with an expiration date of December 31, 2023, and an additional $10.0 million with no stated expiration date. In October 2023, the Board of Directors authorized additional capacity of $20.0 million with no stated expiration date.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 3,635,033 shares of common stock for a total of $34.4 million, which was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. A portion of these shares were repurchased directly from the Company’s majority shareholder. Refer to Note 11 – Related Party Transactions for additional information. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $8.9 million in remaining authorized capacity.

The timing and amount of repurchases are based on a variety of factors such as the market price of the Company’s common stock, corporate and contractual requirements, market and economic conditions, and legal requirements.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 included a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases, net of new stock issuances, beginning in 2023. The tax is expected to be paid annually and the Company accrues the tax during interim periods with the offset to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.

Warrants

As of December 31, 2023 there were 15,525,000 outstanding Warrants, consisting entirely of public warrants. At the time of the Merger, the Warrant Agreement was amended so that each public warrant is exercisable at $1.15 into one tenth share of common
stock. As part of the amendment, each holder of the public warrants received $1.85 per warrant for a total of $28.7 million paid by the Company upon closing of the Merger. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Merger or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may call the public warrants for redemption:

in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and
if, and only if, the last reported closing price of the shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If the Company calls the public warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the public warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the Warrant Agreement.

The exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the Warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrants’ shares. Accordingly, the Warrants may expire worthless.

In June 2022, the Company repurchased all 5.5 million outstanding Private Placement Warrants, which were exercisable at $11.50 into one share of common stock. The Company paid $16.5 million, or $3.00 per warrant, to repurchase all of the outstanding Private Placement Warrants. This amount included $6.6 million for the repurchase of 2.2 million of the Private Placement Warrants that were held by the Company’s majority shareholder, Landsea Holdings, and $8.4 million to Level Field Capital, LLC, a related party, for the repurchase of 2.8 million Private Placement Warrants. Refer to Note 11 – Related Party Transactions for additional information. The loss recognized on the repurchase of the Private Placement Warrants is recorded as loss on remeasurement of warrant liability on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
