Market Information
Our Class A common stock and warrants are listed on the Nasdaq under the trading symbols “SEAT” and “SEATW,” respectively.
Stockholders
As of February 28, 2025, there were 44 holders of record of our Class A common stock and one holder of record of our Class B common stock. However, the actual number of our Class A common stockholders is greater than this because it includes beneficial owners whose shares are held in “street name” by banks, brokers, and other nominees.
Dividends
We did not pay any cash dividends on our Class A common stock during the year ended December 31, 2024. We intend to retain future earnings for operations, development, expansion, and debt repayment, as well as potential acquisitions, strategic investments, and share repurchases. As a result, we have no current intention to pay cash dividends on our Class A common stock for the foreseeable future. Any future decision to do so will be made at the discretion of our Board and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions (including those under our credit facility and/or any future indebtedness we may incur), business prospects, and other factors that our Board may deem relevant.
