Note 10 – Mezzanine Equity

In accordance with ASC 480, Legacy Solid Power's Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, "Preferred Stock") prior to the Business Combination were classified as mezzanine equity. Immediately prior to the Closing Legacy Solid Power had 14,069,187 of Series A-1 Preferred Shares outstanding and 8,777,812 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. Legacy Solid Power issued the Series B Preferred Stock in May 2021 in exchange for $135,579 of cash and the conversion of the 2019 Note and the 2020 Notes as discussed in Note 7. See Note 11 for a discussion of warrants issued with the Legacy Solid Power Series B Preferred Stock.

Prior to the Business Combination, the Preferred Stock had a redemption feature, at the option of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock, any time after April 30, 2031. The Preferred Stock was redeemable for the greater of its original issue price, plus all declared but unpaid dividends thereon, or fair value. Since the Preferred Stock had redemption provisions that were not solely within control of Legacy Solid Power, the Preferred Stock was classified prior to the Business Combination as mezzanine equity on Legacy Solid Power’s balance sheets.

As a result of the Business Combination with DCRC on December 8, 2021 the Solid Power Series A-1 and Series B Preferred Stock converted to common stock. The 14,069,187 and 8,777,812 Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock were converted to the equivalent number of shares of Legacy Solid Power common stock prior to the impact of the common stock Exchange Ratio used to complete the Business Combination.
