13.Stockholders’ and Members’ Equity

Stockholders’ Equity

Holders of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. To the extent we pay any cash dividends on our Class A common stock, under the terms of our organizational documents, Solaris LLC will pay an equivalent cash distribution on the Solaris LLC units, and each share of Class A common stock and each Solaris LLC unit will receive the same cash amount.

Members’ Equity

Prior to the amendment and restatement of the Solaris LLC agreement, Solaris LLC’s operations were governed by the provisions of a limited liability company agreement that set forth the rights and obligations of each class of membership interest. Solaris LLC previously had four classes of membership units outstanding – Class A, B, C, and D. Allocations of net income and loss were made to the members based on a hypothetical liquidation. As part of the IPO, all classes of Solaris LLC membership units were consolidated into a single class of unit. See also Note 1. Organization and Background of Business.

Redemptions

During the year ended December 31, 2022, a total of 4,140,585 Solaris LLC units, together with an equal number of shares of our Class B common stock, were redeemed for shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.

For each quarter of the year ended December 31, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.09 per share on our Class A common stock. The dividends, totaling $9.0 million, were paid during 2022. In conjunction with the dividend payments, distributions of $0.09 per unit were paid to unit holders of Solaris LLC curing each quarter. Distributions totaled $11.7 million.
