[8-K] Playboy, Inc. Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

On August 22, 2025, Playboy, Inc. completed the conversion of all remaining 21,000.00001 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into 12,439,730 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.74448 per share. As a result, the company no longer has any preferred stock outstanding and now has 107,548,055 shares of common stock outstanding.

A press release about the conversion was furnished on August 25, 2025.

Positive

• All Series B preferred shares converted, eliminating preferred stock outstanding and simplifying the capital structure.
• Clear disclosure of post-conversion common share count: 107,548,055 shares outstanding.
• Conversion completed on a pro rata basis among Series B holders, preserving proportional rights among those holders.

Negative

• Increase in common shares outstanding to 107,548,055, which dilutes existing common shareholders' percentage ownership.
• No proceeds were received from the conversion, so the transaction did not improve the company’s cash position.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: The conversion removes preferred stock and increases common shares to 107.5M, changing capital structure without cash inflow.

The transaction is a structural recapitalization: 21,000.00001 Series B shares converted into 12,439,730 common shares at $1.74448 per share, leaving 107,548,055 common shares outstanding. No proceeds were received, so this does not improve liquidity. The action eliminates preferred claims on equity but increases common share count, which may dilute existing common holders' percentage ownership. The filing furnishes a press release and relies on a registration exemption for restricted shares.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Preferred interest extinguished and governance simplified; conversion implemented pro rata with restricted common issued.

From a governance perspective, the elimination of all Series B preferred shares simplifies the capital structure and removes preferential rights tied to that status. The conversion was pro rata and the shares issued as restricted stock under Section 3(a)(9), indicating compliance with applicable exemption requirements. The filing does not indicate any changes to board composition, voting rights beyond share count, or other governance actions.
