On October 28, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation describing the terms and conditions of newly issued Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, par value 0.0001 (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), with 88,000.00 total shares constituting the series. On or around the same date, the Company entered into investment agreements with (i) AE Fund II and AE Industrial Partners Structured Solutions I, LP (“AEI Structured Solutions”, and together with AEI Fund II, (“AEI”)), (ii) BCC Redwire Aggregator, LP (“Bain Capital”) and (iii) various investors (collectively, the “Additional Investors,” and together with AEI and Bain Capital, the “Investors”). Pursuant to the investment agreements, the Company sold an aggregate of 81,250.00 shares (“Purchased Shares”) of Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $81.25 million, or $76.4 million net of issuance costs. The investment agreements contain customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and Investors. On October 31, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Designation of the Company, which was filed solely to increase the amount of shares designated as Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to 125,292.00.

Based on an evaluation of the investment agreements, the Company determined that the Convertible Preferred Stock is contingently or optionally redeemable and, therefore, does not require liability classification. However, due to the Convertible Preferred Stock being redeemable at the option of the holder or upon a fundamental change, which includes events that are not fully within the Company’s control, it was determined that the Convertible Preferred Stock should be classified as one line item in temporary (mezzanine) equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, 1,666.62 shares of the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock were, at the option of the holder in accordance with the Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, converted into 566,424 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the accrued value (defined as the initial value plus accumulated paid and unpaid dividends) as of the conversion date and a conversion ratio of $3.05.

During May 2025, in accordance with the Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, the Company issued 8,068.27 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to holders of record as of April 15, 2025, as a PIK dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock. As the Company has the option of paying dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock in either cash or in kind, the PIK dividend is recorded at fair value as of the respective declaration date. The fair value of the PIK dividend as of April 15, 2025 was $33.3 million, which was recorded against additional paid-in-capital since the Company has an accumulated loss. The fair value of the May 2025 PIK dividend was calculated using the accrued value per share after a remaining term of 1.0 year on an as-converted basis, or $4,125 per share.

During June 2025, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from its Common Stock issuance to repurchase 11,195.81 shares of its Convertible Preferred Stock from Bain Capital for $61.5 million, in accordance with the Registration Rights Coordination Agreement, dated as of June 8, 2025, by and between the Company, Bain Capital, and AEI. As of the date of the repurchase, the net book value of the Convertible Preferred Stock was $16.1 million, which was derecognized from temporary (mezzanine) equity and $45.4 million was recorded against accumulated deficit as a distribution.

Bain Capital Director and Nominees
For so long as Bain Capital has record and beneficial ownership of at least 50% of the Purchased Shares issued to it as of November 3, 2022, Bain Capital will have the right to designate one member to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Convertible Preferred Stock Features
No holder of Convertible Preferred Stock may transfer any of their shares to any unaffiliated person for twelve (12) months following the closing date of the applicable investment agreement, except for certain exceptions, including that Bain Capital and AEI may transfer shares to each other. Bain Capital and AEI have been provided customary preemptive rights with respect to the Convertible Preferred Stock and, after the seventh anniversary of their respective closing dates, for so long as each holder has record and beneficial ownership of at least 50% of the Purchased Shares initially issued to them, may cause the Company to retain an investment banker to identify and conduct a potential sale of the Company.

The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $3.05 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution and price protective adjustments.

The Company previously obtained the requisite shareholder approval for the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock above the 19.99% Limitation (as defined below). On June 20, 2023, the Company filed with the SEC a Schedule 14C information statement pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act, which provided notice of the approval of (i) the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock in excess of 19.99% of the 63,852,690 shares outstanding as of October 28, 2022 immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Conversion Cap”) and (ii) voting rights of the aggregate number of votes to which all holders of outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote in excess of 19.99% of the aggregate number of votes to which all shareholders of the Company were entitled to vote as of October 28, 2022 (including the holders of shares of Preferred Stock) (the “Voting Cap” and, together with the Conversion Cap, the “19.99% Limitation”).

As of June 30, 2025, the 103,855.14 outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock were convertible into approximately 34,800,935 shares of the Company’s common stock. The holders of Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of common stock, on an as-converted basis. In addition, holders of Convertible Preferred Stock have the right, at their option and at any time, to convert their shares into shares of common stock. Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will mandatorily convert upon achieving thresholds related to the Company’s market capitalization and profitability metrics and the Company is required to make an offer to repurchase the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock upon a fundamental change.

Dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock can be paid in either cash or in kind in the form of additional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock (such payment in kind, “PIK”), at the option of the Company, subject to certain exceptions. If paid in cash, such dividends will be paid at a rate of 13% per annum, subject to certain adjustments and exceptions or, if the Company issues PIK dividends, at a rate of 15% per annum, subject to certain adjustments and exceptions. Each holder of Convertible Preferred Stock has been given certain registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 28, 2022. As of June 30, 2025, the accumulated but not declared or paid dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock were $2.3 million.
Liquidation Preference
The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock. In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of the Company’s common stock the greater of (a) the greater of (i) two times the Initial Value, defined as $1,000 per share and (ii) the Initial Value plus accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, and (b) the amount that would have been received based on the if-converted Accrued Value, defined as Initial Value plus accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the liquidation preference of the Convertible Preferred Stock was $567.3 million and $599.4 million, respectively.
