Other Comprehensive Income Equity
Shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting rights, conversion rights and transfer restrictions applicable to shares of Class B common stock. The holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share, and the holders of Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. The holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors, unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws. Shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at any time at the option of the holder or upon any transfer, subject to certain limited exceptions. In addition, upon the election of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B common stock, all outstanding shares of Class B common stock will be converted into shares of Class A common stock. Once converted into shares of Class A common stock, shares of Class B common stock will not be reissued. Class A common stock is not convertible into any other class of the Company’s capital stock.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, certain stockholders of the Company converted a total of 4,338,924 shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Registration Rights Agreement
The Company is a party to a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain of the Company’s directors and officers and affiliates of SunTx (collectively, the “RRA Holders”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the RRA Holders have “demand” registration rights, meaning that the Company must register under the Securities Act shares of the Company’s common stock owned by such RRA Holders upon their demand under certain circumstances, and “piggyback” registration rights, meaning that, if the Company proposes to register an offering of securities, it generally must give written notice to the RRA Holders to allow each to include its shares in the registration. In general, the Company must pay all out-of-pocket expenses in connection with a registration under the Registration Rights Agreement, including filing and registration fees, printing costs, fees and expenses of the Company’s legal counsel and independent registered public accountants and fees and expenses for one legal counsel for the applicable RRA Holders. The RRA Holders whose shares are registered must pay all incremental selling expenses relating to any offering, such as underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, underwriter marketing costs and any additional legal counsel that they may engage. As of September 30, 2022, a total of 3,796,670 shares of the Company’s common stock were subject to the Registration Rights Agreement, of which 37,248 shares had been previously registered but not yet sold. The Registration Rights Agreement expires on May 4, 2023.
