Deal Structure Unveiled

Beneficient, a Nevada-based financial services company trading on NASDAQ under the symbol BENF, finalized a capital-raising transaction on July 10, 2026. The securities issued in this transaction were designed to convert into the company’s Class A common stock under predefined conditions. These preferred shares are structured to convert into Class A common stock at an initial rate of $3.6514 per share.

The conversion ratio is calculated by dividing $10.00 by the applicable conversion price, allowing holders to determine the number of common shares they would receive.

Conversion Price Dynamics

The conversion price for the Series B-11 Preferred Stock is not fixed and adjusts monthly based on the performance of Beneficient’s Class A common stock. While the initial conversion price is $3.6514, the terms include a protective floor set at $1.8257 per share. This floor ensures the conversion price does not fall below half of the initial rate, even if market conditions would otherwise dictate a lower price.

The price also does not increase beyond the original $3.6514 level under the reset provisions.

Share Issuance Limits

Beneficient established a ceiling on the total number of Class A common shares that may be issued upon conversion, capping it at 4,077,642 shares. To maintain balanced ownership, the company also set a 4.99% limit on the beneficial ownership any single investor may hold. If conversions would push an investor beyond this threshold, the excess shares are deferred until the investor reduces their holdings or the company obtains shareholder approval for an exception.

Mandatory Conversion Triggers

The Series B-11 Preferred Stock is subject to automatic conversion into Class A common stock under specific circumstances. Conversion will occur on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date if Beneficient has met all SEC reporting obligations or if a resale registration statement becomes effective. If these conditions are not satisfied, conversion is postponed until the shares qualify for resale under Rule 144 or a registration statement is declared effective.

It holds equal standing with the company’s Class A common stock and ten other series of preferred stock, including Series B-1 through Series B-10. The relative rights of each preferred series are governed by their respective certificates of designation, which outline specific terms and conditions.

Regulatory Exemption

The transaction was conducted under an exemption from federal securities registration requirements, allowing Beneficient to proceed without a public offering. The company filed the necessary documentation with Nevada’s Secretary of State on July 10, 2026, to establish the legal framework and rights associated with the Series B-11 Preferred Stock. This approach is commonly used for private capital transactions in the financial sector.
