8. Shareholders’ Equity

Common Stock Issuance

On June 12, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, William Blair & Company, L.L.C., and TD Securities (USA) LLC (collectively, the “Underwriters”), as well as TowerBrook Capital Partners, LP (“TowerBrook”), an affiliate and the Company’s largest stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, (i) the Company offered, issued, and sold 1,000,000 shares of its common stock and, (ii) the Selling Stockholder offered and sold 1,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which included 300,000 shares sold as a result of the Underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares (collectively, the “Equity Offering”). The shares were offered at an offering price of $31.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Equity Offering was completed on June 14, 2024.

The gross proceeds to the Company from the issuance of the Company’s 1,000,000 shares amounted to $31.0 million and the Company did not receive any proceeds from the shares sold by the Selling Stockholder. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $1.5 million, the net proceeds to the Company from the Equity Offering were $29.5 million. The issuance of the 1,000,000 new shares sold by the Company increased the total number of outstanding shares and are reflected in the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 3, 2024. In connection with the Equity Offering, the Company incurred $0.9 million of third- party expenses. The net proceeds, after deducting both underwriting discounts and commissions and third- party expenses have been recorded in Additional paid-in capital and are detailed in the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024.

The Company utilized the net proceeds from its sale of shares in the Equity Offering for repayment of its debt and general corporate purposes.

Dividends

On May 14, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share of common stock (the “Dividend”). The Dividend was paid on June 12, 2024, to all holders of record of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on May 29, 2024. During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024, the Company paid $0.8 million in dividends. The Company may pay dividends on its common stock only from net profits and surplus as determined under Delaware state law. Given the current financial position, the Dividend was paid from Additional paid-in capital rather than retained earnings as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2024.

The Company intends to pay dividends quarterly in the future, subject to market conditions and the discretion and approval by the Board of any such dividends.

The payment of cash dividends in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend upon such factors as earnings levels, capital requirements, restrictions imposed by applicable law, our overall financial condition, restrictions in our debt agreements and any other factors deemed relevant by the Board. As a holding company, our ability to pay dividends depends on our receipt of cash dividends from our operating subsidiaries, which may further restrict our ability to pay dividends as a result of restrictions on their ability to pay dividends to us, under our debt agreements and under future indebtedness that we or they may incur.

Refer Note 13. Subsequent Events for information on the declaration of dividend subsequent to August 3, 2024.
