Insights

VPR Brands simplifies preferred unit terms but greatly expands authorization.

VPR Brands amended its Limited Partnership Agreement so that Class A preferred units now more closely resemble common units. The company removed mandatory dividends, voting rights, and liquidation preferences, and cut the stated value to $1.00 per unit.

The amendment also increased authorized Class A preferred units from 1,000,000 to 250,000,000. Conversion now depends on the common unit price reaching $1.15 for 20 consecutive trading days before July 31, 2030, with a 4.99% equity blocker that can be waived with advance notice.

This structure concentrates control with the general partner and existing governance framework while creating significant authorized preferred capacity. Actual impact on existing holders will depend on how many preferred units are issued and converted in future, which is not described here.

Class A preferred units financial
"The designation, powers, preferences and rights of the Class A preferred units"
pari passu financial
"rank pari passu with the Company’s common units on any liquidation"
An instruction that different claims, securities, or creditors are treated equally and share rights or payments on the same priority level. For investors, it means their position will be paid or have voting power alongside others in the same class rather than being favored or subordinated—think of several people standing in one bus line who all get on together rather than some cutting ahead. That parity affects expected recovery in reorganizations, dividend order, and relative risk.
4.99% equity blocker financial
"subject to a 4.99% equity blocker, which may be waived"
VWAP financial
"conversion price, equal to 85% of the 5-trading day VWAP"
VWAP, or Volume-Weighted Average Price, is a way to find the average price of a stock throughout the trading day, giving more importance to times when more shares are traded. It helps traders see the typical price and decide whether a stock is expensive or cheap compared to its average, similar to finding the average speed during a trip by giving more weight to times when you traveled faster or slower.
Material Definitive Agreement regulatory
"Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement."
A material definitive agreement is a legally binding contract that creates major, long‑term obligations or rights for a company, such as loans, asset sales, mergers, or supplier deals. Think of it like a mortgage or lease for a business: it can change future cash flow, risk and control, so investors watch these agreements closely because they can materially affect a company’s value, financial health and stock price.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 28, 2026, Soleil Capital Management L.L.C. (the “General Partner”), the general partner of VPR Brands, LP (the “Company”), executed the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Limited Partnership Agreement, as amended (the “Agreement”), in order to amend the terms of the Company’s Class A preferred units.

 

The designation, powers, preferences and rights of the Class A preferred units and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are summarized as follows:

 

Number and Stated Value. The number of authorized Class A preferred units is 250,000,000. Each Class A preferred unit will have a stated value of $1.00 (the “Stated Value”).

 

The Third Amendment had the effect of increasing the number of authorized Class A preferred units from 1,000,000 to 250,000,000, and decreasing the stated value from $2.00 to $1.00 per unit.

 

Rights. Except as set forth in the Third Amendment, each Class A preferred unit has all of the rights, preferences and obligations of the common units as set forth in the Agreement and will be treated as a common unit for all other purposes of the Agreement.

 

Dividends. The Class A preferred units have no mandatory dividend or distribution rights, and any distributions on or with respect to the Class A preferred units will be at the sole discretion of the Company.

 

The Third Amendment had the effect of eliminating an annual dividend.

 

Voting. The Class A preferred units have no voting rights other than as required by applicable law, and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Class A preferred units have no management rights or other governance participation of any kind.

 

Liquidation. The Class A preferred units have no preferential rights on any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, and rank pari passu with the Company’s common units on any liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

 

The Third Amendment had the effect of eliminating preferential rights of the Class A preferred units upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company equal to any accrued by unpaid dividends.

 

Non-transferable. The Class A preferred units are not transferable without the prior written consent of the Company, to be given or withheld in the sole discretion of the Company.

 

Conversion Rights. Each Class A preferred unit is convertible into common units of the Company at any time following the date on which the closing price of the common units for the preceding 20 consecutive trading days has equaled or exceeded $1.15 (the “Conversion Commencement Date”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Third Amendment (the “Conversion Price”); provided, however, that if the Conversion Commencement Date has not occurred on or before July 31, 2030, the Class A preferred units will not be convertible into common units. Each Class A preferred unit is convertible into a number of conversion units equal to (x) the Stated Value, divided by the Conversion Price, subject to a 4.99% equity blocker, which may be waived by the Class A preferred unit holder upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.

 

The Third Amendment had the effect of revising the conversion rights of the Class A preferred units. Prior to adopting the Third Amendment, the Class A preferred units were convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into a number of common units equal to (x) the then-stated value of $2.00 plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, divided by (y) the conversion price, equal to 85% of the 5-trading day VWAP, subject to a 4.99% equity blocker that could be waived by the Class A preferred unit holder upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.

 

The foregoing description of the Third Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated herein by reference.
