Market Information and Holders
XPDI’s Class A common stock, public warrants and units (consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one-fourth
of one public warrant) were historically listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “XPDI,” “XPDIW,” and “XPDIU,” respectively. On January 19, 2022, the units automatically separated into the component securities and, as a result, no longer trade as a separate security. On January 20, 2022, the Common Stock and public warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the new trading symbols “CORZ” and “CORZW,” respectively.
As of the Closing Date and following the completion of the Business Combination, the Company had 317,279,900 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding held of record by approximately 498 holders, and 20,991,129 warrants (consisting of (i) 8,625,000 shares underlying XPDI’s public warrants, (ii) 6,266,667 shares underlying XPDI’s private placement warrants and (iii) 6,099,462 shares underlying warrants held by Legacy Core investors) outstanding held of record by approximately 13 holders.
As a result of the Business Combination, all of XPDI’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock automatically converted into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one
basis. XPDI’s public warrants and private placement warrants became warrants to purchase Common Stock.
On March 28, 2022, there were 368 holders of record of our Common Stock and one holder of record of our public warrants. We believe a substantially greater number of beneficial owners hold shares of Common Stock or public warrants through brokers, banks or other nominees.
Dividends
The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock to date and does not intend to pay cash dividends. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. It is the present intention of the Company’s board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the Company’s business operations and, accordingly, the board of directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
As of December 31, 2021, XPDI did not have any securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans. In connection with the Business Combination, XPDI’s stockholders approved the Core Scientific, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and Core Scientific, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which became effective immediately upon the closing of the Business Combination. The Company has also assumed all outstanding awards under the Core Scientific, Inc. (f/k/a Mineco Holdings, Inc.) 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended.
