  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Our Common Share price may fluctuate.

    The stock market in general, and the market prices of securities of technology companies in particular, can be extremely volatile, and fluctuations in our Common Share price may be unrelated to our operating performance. Our Common Share price has been and could in the future be subject to significant fluctuations in response to many factors, including: actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations; the addition or loss of customers; announcements of technological innovations; new products or services by us or our competitors; changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; conditions or trends in our industry; our announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; additions or departures of key employees; general market conditions; and other events or factors, many of which may be beyond our control. Therefore, you bear the market risk associated with fluctuations in the price of our Common Shares. Unstable market conditions could cause the trading price of our Common Shares to decline or fluctuate in a rapid or unpredictable manner and, in that case, investors could lose all or part of their investment in such securities. There can be no assurance that the current trading price will be maintained, and it is possible that our Common Share price could drop significantly. In addition, future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Shares, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our Common Shares, into the public market, or the perception that those sales could occur, could negatively affect the market price of our Common Shares and our ability to raise capital in the future. An issuance of additional Common Shares could also dilute the percentage ownership interest and corresponding voting power of the existing holders of such securities. Holders of our Common Shares are not entitled to pre-emptive rights or other protections against dilution.

    Litigation, including litigation due to Common Share price volatility or other factors, could cause us to incur substantial costs and divert our management's time and attention.

    From time to time, we may become involved in, or become liable for legal, contractual, and other claims by various parties, including customers, suppliers, former employees, class action plaintiffs and others, including litigation related to the volatility of our Common Shares and investigations or reviews by regulatory bodies. If we become involved in significant litigation, investigations or reviews by regulatory bodies or other proceedings in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management's attention and resources and could adversely affect our financial condition, business, and prospects. On an ongoing basis, we attempt to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these proceedings or claims, although it is difficult to predict final outcomes with any degree of certainty. Except as disclosed from time to time in our financial statements, we do not believe that any of the proceedings or claims to which we are party will have a material adverse effect on our financial position; however, we cannot provide any assurance to this effect.

    If a U.S. person is treated as owning at least 10% of our shares, such holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

    If a U.S. person is treated as owning (directly, indirectly or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of our shares, such person will be treated as a "United States shareholder" with respect to each controlled foreign corporation ("CFC") in our group (if any). Because our group includes one or more United States subsidiaries, certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries could be treated as CFCs for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2026, regardless of whether or not we are treated as a CFC. However, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, as a result of certain changes enacted by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, our non-U.S. subsidiaries generally will not be treated as CFCs, and no U.S. Holder will be treated as a United States shareholder with respect to such non-U.S. subsidiaries, solely by reason of the inclusion of one or more U.S. subsidiaries in our group. A United States shareholder of a CFC generally will be required to annually report and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of "Subpart F income," "net CFC tested income" (or "global intangible low taxed income" for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2026 and investments in U.S. property by the CFC, whether or not we make any distributions. An individual that is a United States shareholder with respect to a CFC generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed to a United States shareholder that is a corporation. A failure to comply with these reporting obligations may subject a United States shareholder to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the statute of limitations with respect to a United States shareholder's U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due from starting. Furthermore, we cannot provide any assurances that we will have sufficient information to assist investors in determining whether we or any of our subsidiaries are treated as a CFC or whether such investor is treated as a United States shareholder with respect to any such CFCs. We also cannot guarantee that we will be in a position to furnish to any United States shareholder information that may be necessary to comply with the aforementioned reporting and tax payment obligations. U.S. investors should consult their own advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to an investment in our Common Shares.

    U.S. investors may not be able to obtain enforcement of civil liabilities against us.

    The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the U.S. federal or state securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that we are governed by the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), a statute of the Province of Alberta, Canada, that the majority of our officers and directors and some of the experts named in this Form 20-F, are residents of Canada or otherwise reside outside the U.S., and that all, or a substantial portion of their assets and a substantial portion of our assets, are located outside the U.S. It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the U.S. on certain of our directors and officers or the experts named in this Form 20-F or enforce judgments obtained in the U.S. courts against us,certain of our directors and officers or the experts named in this Form 20-F based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state of the U.S. There is some doubt as to whether a judgment of a U.S. court based solely upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws would be enforceable in Canada against us, our directors and officers or the experts named in this Form 20-F. There is also doubt as to whether an original action could be brought in Canada against us or our directors and officers or the experts named in this Form 20-F to enforce liabilities based solely upon U.S. federal or state securities laws.

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.
