17. REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

On March 12, 2020, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement and other related documentation (the “Stock Purchase Agreements”) with a third-party investor (the “Investor”) for purchase by the Investor of Series A Preferred Stock in CCC Cayman, a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company and the parent of the Company’s China subsidiaries. At the closing of the transactions under the Stock Purchase Agreements (the "Close Date"), CCC Cayman, a subsidiary of the Company, issued 1,818 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) at $7,854 per share to the Investor for net proceeds of $14.2 million. As of December 31, 2024, on an as-converted basis, the Preferred Shares represented an aggregate 10.0% ownership interest of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CCC Cayman, or 8.6% on a fully-diluted basis.

The Preferred Shares were redeemable upon an actual or deemed redemption event as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement or at the option of the Investor beginning on the five-year anniversary of the Close Date, if an actual or deemed redemption event has not yet occurred. The redemption price, as defined by the Stock Purchase Agreement, was equal to the original issue price of the Preferred Shares, plus 10.0% compound interest per annum on the Preferred Share issue price, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Shares.

The Preferred Shares do not participate in net income or losses.

As of December 31, 2024, the Investor’s ownership in CCC Cayman is classified in mezzanine equity as a redeemable non-controlling interest, because it was redeemable on an event that is not solely in the control of the Company.

On March 17, 2025, the Company received a notice of redemption under the Stock Purchase Agreements. Upon receiving the notice of redemption, the shares became mandatorily redeemable and payable by CCC Cayman (without recourse to the Company) and were no longer presented within mezzanine equity as a redeemable non-controlling interest.
