CapitalStack

Inherits: StateAware, Patchable, BoardControlled, ICapitalStack

Author: Daniel Yamagata & Naveen Ailawadi

A smart contract that lays out the logic for the capital stack of a company. The capital stack is the foundation for the mergers, acquistions, recapitalization, and liquidation of companies in the Mezzanine protocol A capital stack is made up of:

Seniority Levels
Assets

Each seniority level and asset is associated with an 'asset class'. An asset of a given class can be inserted into only one seniority level of the same class. There are three types of asset classes, defined by the following enum:

0: Null
1: Common Equity
2: Preferred Equity
3: Debt

A seniority level or asset with asset class 'Null' is considered invalid and cannot be added to the stack. Seniority levels must be added, such that a new seniority level's asset class cannot be below the previous's asset class and cannot exceed the next's asset class. For example, a seniority level of 'Common Equity' cannot be inserted above 'Debt' Here is a visual example:

Index	Asset Class	Assets
2	Debt	D, E, F, G
3	Preferred Equity	B, C
1	Common Equity	A

Index

Asset Class

Assets

Debt

D, E, F, G

Preferred Equity

B, C

Common Equity

Seniority levels are represented by a circular, doubly linked list. Their indexes are not assumed to be sequential

Functions

_getCapitalStackStorage

function _getCapitalStackStorage() internal pure returns (CapitalStackStorage storage $);

constructor

constructor(address _mezzHub, address _mezzMigrator) StateAware(_mezzHub) Patchable(_mezzMigrator);

init

Initializes state, inserts a common equity seniority level, adds the common shares to the capital, and creates a document for the common shares in the document registry. Can only be called once

Called atomically by the MezzDeployer during the deployment of a Mezz Instance

function init(address initTreasury, address commonShares) external virtual initializer;

Parameters

Name Type Description

Name	Type	Description
`initTreasury`	`address`	The treasury to be used by the capital stack
`commonShares`	`address`	The address of the common shares

initTreasury

address

The treasury to be used by the capital stack

commonShares

address

The address of the common shares

__CapitalStack_init

function __CapitalStack_init(address commonShares) internal onlyInitializing;

addSeniorityLevel

Adds a seniority level to the capital stack. Only callable by the company's board of directors, who are the signers of the treasury contract. Seniority levels in a capital stack follow specific rules in how they can be inserted: Each seniority level has an associated 'AssetClass' defined by the following enum:

0: Null
1: Common Equity
2: Preferred Equity
3: Debt

A seniority level cannot be inserted if the previous seniority level, associated with 'previousSeniorityLevelIndex', has a higher 'AssetClass' than the proposed seniority level. For example, a seniority level of Common Equity cannot be inserted above a seniority level of Preferred Equity. Once inserted, only assets of that given class can be added to the given seniority level. A Mezzanine company can insert seniority levels above or below seniority levels of the same asset class. For example, a seniority level of Preferred Equity can be inserted above or below another seniority level of Preferred Equity. A company may do this since these different levels may be treated differently during liquidation, recapitalization, etc. Seniority levels with new types of asset classes can be added easily via upgrades

function addSeniorityLevel(uint256 previousSeniorityLevelIndex, uint8 proposedAssetClass)
    external
    virtual
    onlyBoard
    pausable
    returns (uint256);

Parameters

Name Type Description

Name	Type	Description
`previousSeniorityLevelIndex`	`uint256`	The index of the previous seniority level, which is the point of insertion
`proposedAssetClass`	`uint8`	The asset class of the proposed seniority level

previousSeniorityLevelIndex

uint256

The index of the previous seniority level, which is the point of insertion

proposedAssetClass

uint8

The asset class of the proposed seniority level

Returns

Name Type Description

Name	Type	Description
`<none>`	`uint256`	The index of the newly inserted seniority level

<none>

uint256

The index of the newly inserted seniority level

_addSeniorityLevel

Adding a seniority level has four cases:

(A) The list is empty. Should only be true during initialization
(B) An insertion at the front of the list
- 'previousSeniorityLevelIndex' is zero
(C) An insertion at the back of the list
- The 'next' of 'previousSeniorityLevelIndex' is zero
(D) An insertion in the middle of the list
- 'previousSeniorityLevelIndex' is greater than zero but its 'next' is not equal to zero
The sentinel acts both as a header and a tail. The 'next' of the sentinel indicates the 'front' of the list while the 'previous' of the sentinel indicates the 'back' of the list Cases (A) and (D) are handled the same. Cases are handled differently to optimize for SSTOREs

function _addSeniorityLevel(uint256 previousSeniorityLevelIndex, uint8 proposedAssetClass) internal returns (uint256);

_addToFrontOfSeniorityLevelList

Case (B): An insertion at the front of the list

function _addToFrontOfSeniorityLevelList(
    uint256 seniorityLevelIndexToAdd,
    uint8 proposedAssetClass,
    uint256 oldNextIndex,
    DataTypes.SeniorityLevel storage oldNextSeniorityLevelPointer,
    CapitalStackStorage storage $
) internal virtual;

_addToBackOfSeniorityLevelList

Case (C): An insertion at the back of the list

function _addToBackOfSeniorityLevelList(
    uint256 seniorityLevelIndexToAdd,
    uint8 proposedAssetClass,
    uint256 previousSeniorityLevelIndex,
    DataTypes.SeniorityLevel storage previousSeniorityLevelPointer,
    CapitalStackStorage storage $
) internal virtual;

_addToMiddleOfSeniorityLevelList

Cases (A) and (D): An insertion in an empty list or in the middle of the list, respectively

function _addToMiddleOfSeniorityLevelList(
    uint256 seniorityLevelIndexToAdd,
    uint8 proposedAssetClass,
    uint256 previousSeniorityLevelIndex,
    uint256 oldNextIndex,
    DataTypes.SeniorityLevel storage previousSeniorityLevelPointer,
    DataTypes.SeniorityLevel storage oldNextSeniorityLevelPointer,
    CapitalStackStorage storage $
) internal virtual;

removeSeniorityLevel

Removes a seniority level with 'seniorityLevelIndexToRemove' from the capital stack. Only callable by the company's board of directors, who are the signers of the Treasury. The seniority level must be empty, meaning it contains no assets.

function removeSeniorityLevel(uint256 seniorityLevelIndexToRemove) external virtual onlyBoard freezable;

Parameters

Name Type Description

Name	Type	Description
`seniorityLevelIndexToRemove`	`uint256`	The index of the seniority level to remove

seniorityLevelIndexToRemove

uint256

The index of the seniority level to remove

addAssetToSeniorityLevel

Adds an asset to a seniority level. Only callable by the company's board of directors, who are the signers of the Treasury The asset must have the same 'AssetClass' as the seniority level it is being added to. This function adds a document to the document registry that is associated with the asset. It can be updated at any time. An asset can only be part of one seniority level and cannot be moved retroactively to a different seniority level.

A treasury cannot call this function with its multi-sig functionality but instead must call the 'addAssetToCapitalStack' function

function addAssetToSeniorityLevel(
    uint256 seniorityLevelIndex,
    address assetToAdd,
    string memory assetDocumentName,
    string memory assetDocumentUri
) external virtual onlyBoard pausable returns (uint256);

removeAsset

Removes an asset from the capital stack. Only callable by the company's board of directors, who are the signers of the Treasury. A company cannot remove their initial common shares from the capital stack. All Mezz assets must implement a 'removable()' function that returns a bool indicating the asset's removability upon certain conditions. For example, Mezz shares are not removable if their total supply is greater than zero. If the 'removable()' of 'assetToRemove' returns false, this function will revert

A treasury cannot call this function with its multi-sig functionality but instead must call the 'removeAssetFromCapitalStack' function

function removeAsset(address assetToRemove) external onlyBoard freezable;

`assetToRemove`	`address`	The address of the asset to remove

assetToRemove
