Stockholders' Equity and Redeemable Preferred Stock |
Note 13 – Stockholders’ Equity and Redeemable Preferred Stock Net Loss Per Common Share Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders, less dividends on restricted stock, LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units expected to vest, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Net loss attributable to common stockholders is computed by adjusting net loss for the non-forfeitable dividends paid on non-vested restricted stock, LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units. The Company considers the requirements of the two-class method when preparing earnings per share. The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding: Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and Class C common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Earnings per share is not affected by the two-class method because the Company’s Class A and C common stock participate in dividends on a one-for-one basis. The following table reconciles the components of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts): | | | | | | | | | Three Months Ended | | | March 31, | | | 2024 | | 2023 | Net loss attributable to common stockholders | | $ | (1,020) | | $ | (1,540) | | | | | | | | Weighted average common shares outstanding (1) | | | 3,848,494 | | | 3,843,502 | Potential dilutive shares (2) | | | — | | | — | Weighted average common shares outstanding and potential dilutive shares (1) | | | 3,848,494 | | | 3,843,502 | | | | | | | | Net loss per common share, basic | | $ | (0.27) | | $ | (0.40) | | | | | | | | Net loss per common share, diluted | | $ | (0.27) | | $ | (0.40) |
(1) | Amounts relate to shares of the Company’s Class A and Class C common stock outstanding. |
(2) | For the three months ended March 31, 2024, potential vesting of restricted Class A common stock of 4,531 shares are excluded from the diluted shares calculation as the effect is antidilutive. |
The effect of the conversion of OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such OP Units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these OP Units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share. Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 395,628 shares of 6.0%Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”) under its continuous registered offering with net proceeds of approximately $8.6 million after (i) commissions, dealer manager fees and sales discounts of approximately $1.0 million, and (ii) costs related to establishing the offering of Series A Preferred Stock of approximately $0.3 million. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had issued a total of 832,303 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with total net proceeds of approximately $17.3 million after commissions, dealer manager fees, sales discounts and offering costs. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not redeemed any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Class A Common Stock Repurchase Plan On February 13, 2024, the Board authorized a stock repurchase plan for the repurchase, from time to time, of up to an aggregate of $5 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, with such repurchases to be conducted in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and subject to Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. The repurchase plan has a term of one year and may be discontinued at any time. The extent to which the Company repurchases shares of its Class A common stock under the repurchase plan, and the timing of any such repurchases, depends on a variety of factors including general business and market conditions and other corporate considerations. The Company expects to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock through open market transactions subject to market conditions, certain price limitations and other conditions established under the plan. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in conformity with the method, timing, price and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. As of March 31, 2024, no repurchases of Class A common stock had been made by the Company. Operating Partnership and Long-Term Incentive Plan Units As of March 31, 2024, limited partners other than the Company owned approximately 69.34% of the common units of the Operating Partnership (7,365,735 OP Units, or 58.20%, is held by OP Unit holders, and 1,410,986 LTIP Units, or 11.14%, is held by LTIP Unit holders, including 3.68% which are not vested as of March 31, 2024). Subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement, OP Units are exchangeable for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, or, at the Company’s election, redeemable for cash. LTIP Units and C-LTIP Units may be convertible into OP Units under certain conditions and then may be settled in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock or, at the Company’s election, cash. On February 21, 2024, the Company granted 151,600 and 95,204 C-LTIP Units pursuant to the Management Agreement to the Manager in payment of the (i) base management fee of $2.0 million, and (ii) operating expense reimbursement of $1.3 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter 2023. Such C-LTIP Units were fully vested upon issuance. In the future, the Operating Partnership may issue OP Units or preferred OP Units from time to time in connection with acquisitions of properties or for financing, compensation or other reasons. Equity Incentive Plans The Board has adopted, and the Company’s sole initial stockholder has approved, the Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan for Individuals (the “BHM Individuals Plan”) and the Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan for Entities (the “BHM Entities Plan”). Together, the Company refers to the BHM Individuals Plan and the BHM Entities Plan as the “BHM Incentive Plans.” The BHM Incentive Plans provide for the grant of options to purchase shares of our common stock, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units, incentive awards and other equity-based awards, and are administered by the compensation committee of the Board. LTIP Unit Grants On January 8, 2024, the Company granted 5,185 LTIP Units pursuant to the BHM Incentive Plans to each independent member of the Board in payment of the equity portion of their respective annual retainers. Such LTIP Units were fully vested upon issuance and the Company recognized expense of $0.3 million based on the fair value at the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense ratably over the vesting period for time-based LTIP Units based on the fair value at the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized compensation expense for such LTIP Units of approximately $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Such expense was recorded as part of general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. At March 31, 2024, there was $8.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested LTIP Units granted under the BHM Incentive Plans. The remaining expense is expected to be recognized over a period of 3.3 years. Restricted Stock Grants In November 2023, the Company issued 31,260 shares of Class A common stock as restricted stock grants (“RSGs”) as equity compensation, pursuant to the BHM Individuals Plans, directly to and among certain of the Manager’s executive management team and personnel who provide other services to the Manager. Such RSGs will vest one-third on May 25, 2024, and the remainder will vest ratably on an annual basis over a two-year period from April 1, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized compensation expense for such RSGs of approximately $0.05 million. Such expense was recorded as part of general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. At March 31, 2024, there was $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested RSGs granted under the BHM Incentive Plans. The remaining expense is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.0 years. The Company currently uses authorized and unissued shares to satisfy share award grants.
