13. Common and Preferred Stock:

Common Stock

After consummation of the Merger Transaction, The Hillman Companies, Inc. has one class of common stock. All outstanding shares of The Hillman Companies, Inc. common stock are owned by Holdco.

Under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement for the Holdco Common Stock, management shareholders have the ability to put their shares back to Holdco under certain conditions, including death or disability. ASC 480-10-S99 requires shares to be classified outside of permanent equity if they can be redeemed and the redemption is not solely within control of the issuer. Further, if it is determined that redemption of the shares is probable, the shares are marked to redemption value which equals fair value at each balance sheet date with the change in fair value recorded in additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, the 161.2 and 198.3 shares of common stock held by management as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were recorded outside permanent equity. These shares have been adjusted to the fair value of $16,975 as of December 31, 2013 and $14,116 as of December 31, 2012.

Preferred Stock

The Hillman Companies has one class of preferred stock, with 5,000 shares authorized and none issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2013.
