10. Temporary Equity

Redeemable Preferred Units

Redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as Temporary Equity.

In connection with the bankruptcy proceedings, the TSA provided for the issuance of 10,449,863 Series A Redeemable Preferred Units of the newly formed subsidiary, the Operating Subsidiary that include a redemption feature. The Preferred Units have an aggregate value representing 37.5% equity ownership in the Operating Subsidiary (“Aggregate Purchase Price”). At any time during the six-month period following the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, the holders of the Preferred Units may elect to have all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Preferred Units redeemed. Therefore, the Preferred Units are probable of becoming redeemable and will be classified as temporary (‘mezzanine’) equity.

The Preferred Units also provide the holder with the option to convert all or less than all of the Preferred Units into common units at any time and from time to time without the payment of additional consideration. If the holder elects to convert the Preferred Units, the specified number of Preferred Units to be converted will be divided by the total number of Preferred Units then outstanding times 37.50% of the common units deemed outstanding. To the extent some, but not all of the Preferred Units are converted, the 37.50% percentage will be proportionately reduced, and the same adjustment will apply for purposes of calculating other as-converted entitlements of the Preferred Units. None of the Preferred Units had been converted into common units as of March 31, 2024.

Additionally, the Preferred Units provide the holder with a put option to sell the shares to the Operating Subsidiary and the Liquidation Preference provides the holder with the option to exchange the Preferred Units for cash (together, the “Features”). The Company recorded $13.9 million, the initial fair value, as Temporary Equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024.

The fair value of $1.33 per Preferred Unit at the respective dates below was determined through the use of an option-pricing method (“OPM”) that treats the common and preferred units as call options on the enterprise value of the Company with exercise prices based on the liquidation preference of the preferred units. The OPM incorporated multiple thresholds that represent future change of control sale prices where the payout structure would differ based on the rights and preferences of each share class. The OPM used was the Black-Scholes model to price the call option, which includes the below variables. The enterprise value utilized by the Company in the OPM represents the value agreed upon by the parties involved the Chapter 11 Proceedings and Emergence as approved by the Bankruptcy Court:

At each reporting period, the Company remeasures the redemption value of the Preferred Units and adjusts the carrying value to equal the maximum redemption value to retained earnings. There was no change in the carrying value of the convertible preferred stock units for the year ended March 31, 2024 as the carrying value equaled the redemption value.
