Beneficient $(BENF)$ announced that its Chairman, Thomas O. Hicks, and Interim CEO, James G. Silk, have voluntarily converted all of their holdings of Preferred A-1 Unit Accounts in the company's subsidiary into shares of Beneficient's Class A common stock. The conversion involved approximately $48.0 million from Mr. Hicks and $4.6 million from Mr. Silk, resulting in the issuance of 92,485,639 and 8,808,649 shares of common stock to them, respectively. By converting their preferred interests, both executives relinquished their preferred rights and liquidation preferences, moving to equity positions that are now structurally aligned with common stockholders.

Both executives have also agreed to a lock-up period, delaying any potential market dilution from these new shares.
