The Company has authorized 35,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and has issued to a single investor (Searchlight) who is currently the sole holder of 152,857 shares of Series A-1 preferred stock, which is mandatorily redeemable for cash payable to the holder on November 15, 2033. The number of issued and outstanding shares are currently equivalent. The Series A-1 preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. No amounts are redeemable during the five years subsequent to December 31, 2023.

The following table sets forth the changes in shares of Series A-1 preferred stock during the year ended December 31, 2023:

($ in thousands) Shares Carrying amount
Preferred stock, beginning of year —  — 
Preferred stock issued November 15, 2023 150,000  $ 150,000 
Preferred stock issued December 13, 2023 2,857  2,857 
Preferred stock issuance costs (1)
N/A (6,087)
Allocation of proceeds to preferred stock (2)
N/A (5,327)
Preferred stock, end of year 152,857  $ 141,443 

(1) Issuance costs were deemed to be allocated based on Day 1 relative fair values of the financial instruments issued, to which was allocated approximately 97% to the preferred stock, which costs presented above were capitalized and will be amortized through the date of mandatory redemption, and 3% to the Penny Warrants, which amount was immaterial and was expensed immediately upon issuance of the Penny Warrants.

(2) The redemption amount of the Series A-1 preferred stock of approximately $152.9 million differs from the carrying amount, above, by approximately $5.3 million, which difference is attributable to an allocation of proceeds received to these shares upon issuance, as this liability is recorded based on its initial fair value as a Level 2 instrument in the fair value hierarchy, which involved an allocation of proceeds between the preferred stock as a freestanding financial instrument and the associated Penny Warrants issued concurrently to the same investor as a freestanding derivative. See Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements.

The allocation of proceeds will be accreted so that the carrying value and redemption amount will be equal on the mandatory redemption date of the preferred stock on November 15, 2033. No accretion was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023 due to immateriality.

The Company has the ability to redeem the Series A-1 preferred stock before its mandatory redemption date, at 104% of the liquidation preference per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends on or before the first anniversary of the closing date, 102% of the liquidation preference per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends on or before the second anniversary but after the first anniversary of the closing date, 101% of the liquidation preference per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends on or before the third anniversary but after the second anniversary of the closing date, and 100% of the liquidation preference per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends on or after the third anniversary of the closing date.

The Series A-1 preferred stock accrues dividends at a rate of 13% per year, compounded and payable quarterly, though cash payment of dividends must be declared by the Board, and are otherwise accrued.
