Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 28

Share Price & Shareholder Rights9 | 32.1%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    As a blank check company, our shareholders may face significant restrictions on the resale of our Common Stock due to state "blue sky" laws and due to the applicability of Rule 419.

    There are state "blue sky" regulations that may adversely affect the transferability of our Common Stock. We have not registered our Common Stock for resale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state. We are under no obligation to register or qualify our Common Stock in any state or to advise the shareholders of any exemptions.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Because we are a shell company and have no business, holders of our common stock may not rely upon Rule 144 until disclosure provisions applicable to blank check companies are satisfied.

    Rule 144 provides that shares of our common stock may not be sold under Rule 144 until we have ceased to be a shell company and one year has elapsed from the date on which we have filed Form 10 Information. Thus, a holder of our common stock may be required to hold his shares indefinitely.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    As a shell company, we are not eligible to rely upon Form S-8 to issue our securities and are subject to enhanced reporting requirements.

    As a shell company we are not eligible to rely upon Form S-8 to issue securities. Further, as a blank check we are subject to enhanced specific reporting requirements, including requirements as to the information to be disclosed in connection with any public offering of our securities as specified in Rule 419. These enhanced disclosure provisions and the rights to be provided to any purchaser in a public offering of our securities impose substantial costs on and impediments to a public offering of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    As a blank check company, we must comply with Rule 419 of the Securities Act if we undertake an offering of our common stock.

    The Securities Act defines a "blank check company" as a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose whose business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies. Thus, we are a blank check company. Rule 419 of the Securities Act requires, in the case of a registered offering of our common stock, that we undertake certain procedural steps before any shares of stock or the proceeds of the offering are released. Such requirements include: Depositing the net offering proceeds in escrow until an acquisition has been completed; Depositing all securities sold in the public offering into escrow until the acquisition has been completed; Giving public shareholders an opportunity to consider any proposed acquisition and a chance to either approve the transaction and retain their shares or get at least 90% of their funds returned from the escrow. The need to comply with the provisions of Rule 419 could deter a target company from seeking to complete a transaction with us.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    We may, in the future, issue additional shares of common stock, which would reduce investors' percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

    Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 100 million shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Under our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial to common stockholders and with the ability to adversely affect stockholder voting power and perpetuate the board's control over our company.

    Our Board of Directors by resolution may authorize the issuance of up to one million shares of preferred stock in one or more series with such limitations and restrictions as it may determine, in its sole discretion, with no further authorization by security holders required for the issuance of such shares. The Board may determine the specific terms of the preferred stock, including: designations; preferences; conversions rights; cumulative, relative; participating; and optional or other rights, including: voting rights; qualifications; limitations; or restrictions of the preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock. Preferred stock may be issued quickly with terms calculated to discourage, make more difficult, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or make removal of management more difficult. As a result, the Board of Directors' ability to issue preferred stock may discourage the potential hostile acquirer, possibly resulting in beneficial negotiations. Negotiating with an unfriendly acquirer may result in terms more favorable to us and our stockholders. Conversely, the issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other rights of the holders of the common stock. We presently have no plans to issue any preferred stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    Our common stock is subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

    The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (b) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common shares and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    There is no active trading market for our shares of common stock.

    There is no active trading market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a regular trading market for our securities will develop, or that if one develops, that it will be sustained. The trading price of our securities could be subject to wide fluctuations, in response to announcements by us or others, developments affecting us, and other events or factors. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years. These fluctuations have had a substantial effect on the market prices for many companies, often unrelated to the operating performance of such companies, and may adversely affect the market prices of the securities. Such risks could have an adverse effect on the stock's future liquidity.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9
    You will not have the ability to determine the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval, including the acquisition of a target business.

    It is anticipated that any acquisition we consummate will not require the consent of our shareholders. As a result, you will not have the ability to determine the outcome of matters related thereto.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
