Glencore ownership
As of March 31, 2019, Glencore plc and its affiliates (together "Glencore") beneficially owned 42.9% of Century’s outstanding common stock (47.0% on a fully-diluted basis assuming the conversion of all of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) and all of our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. See Note 7. Shareholders' Equity for a description of our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. From time to time Century and Glencore enter into various transactions for the purchase and sale of primary aluminum, purchase and sale of alumina, and certain forward financial contracts.
Sales to Glencore
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 we derived approximately 64% and 65%, respectively, of our consolidated sales from Glencore. Glencore purchases the aluminum we produce for resale.
