Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 61
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The Company is an entity separate and distinct from the Bank.
The Company is an entity separate and distinct from the Bank. Company transactions with the Bank are limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Federal Reserve Regulation W. We depend upon the Bank's earnings and dividends from the Bank, the amount of which is limited by federal and state laws and regulations and regulatory policies, for cash to pay the Company's obligations and to pay dividends to our shareholders. If the Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company becomes limited, the Company's liquidity and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2The market price of our common stock may be subject to substantial fluctuations, which may make it difficult for you to sell your shares at the volumes, prices and times desired.
The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile, which may make it difficult for you to resell your shares at the volumes, prices and times desired. There are many factors that may impact the market price and trading volume of our common stock, including without limitation: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results, financial condition or asset quality;- changes in economic or business conditions;- the effects of, and changes in, tariff, trade, monetary and fiscal policies, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve, or laws or regulations affecting us;- the public reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;- changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;- recommendations or lack thereof by securities analysts;- publication of research reports about us, our competitors, or the financial services industry generally, or changes in, or failures to meet, securities analysts' estimates of our financial and operating performance, or the lack of research reports by industry analysts or industry analysts ceasing to cover us;- changes in market valuations or earnings of companies that investors deem comparable to us;- the trading volume of our common stock;- future issuances or sales by us of our common stock or other securities;- future sales of our common stock by our directors, executive officers or principal shareholders;- additions or departures of key personnel;- perceptions in the marketplace regarding our competitors and us;- changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations, or differing interpretations thereof affecting our business, or enforcement of these laws or regulations;- new technology used, or services offered by, competitors;- additional investments from third parties;- significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving our competitors or us;- other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services;- other news, announcements or disclosures (whether by us or others) related to us, our competitors, our core markets or the financial services industry; and - geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or war, pandemics, military conflicts, tariffs or trade wars. In particular, the realization of any of the risks described in the "Risk Factors" section of this Report could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and cause the value of your investment to decline. The stock market and, in particular, the market for financial institution stocks have at times experienced substantial fluctuations in recent years, which in many cases have been unrelated to the operating performance and prospects of particular companies. In addition, significant fluctuations in the trading volume in our common stock may cause significant price variations to occur. Increased market volatility could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock, which could make it difficult for you to sell your shares at the volumes, prices and times desired.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3We have shareholders who own significant portions of our common stock and those shareholders' interests may differ from those of our other shareholders.
A relatively large percentage of our outstanding common stock is currently beneficially owned by each of Robertson Holding Company, L.P. ("Robertson Holding Co.") (approximately 16.9%) and Unified Shares, LLC ("Unified Shares") (approximately 8.5%). While neither Robertson Holding Co. nor Unified Shares has Board representation or other similar rights not shared by our other shareholders, this concentration of ownership will result in Robertson Holding Co. and Unified Shares having a strong influence on corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including the following actions: - the election of our directors;- the amendment of our charter or bylaws (to the extent shareholder approval of the amendment is required);- a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction (to the extent shareholder approval of the transaction is required); and - any other matter submitted to our shareholders for a vote. Although Robertson Holding Co. and Unified Shares have no plans or arrangements to form a "group," should they in the future decide to form a group together, or with another large shareholder or group of shareholders, we could become a "controlled company." Under applicable Nasdaq rules, a "controlled company" may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, which could cause our common stock to be less attractive to certain investors or otherwise harm our trading price. The interests of Robertson Holding Co. and/or Unified Shares may differ from or conflict with the interests of our other shareholders. In addition, neither Robertson Holding Co. nor Unified Shares is subject to any contractual restrictions on its ability to acquire additional shares of our common stock. This concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price for our common stock to the extent that investors perceive disadvantages in Robertson Holding Co.'s and/or Unified Shares' significant ownership of or control over the affairs of the Company. Additionally, J. Adam Robertson and Aaron A. Robertson, the general partners of Robertson Holding Co., serve as directors of the Company and the Bank, and J. Adam Robertson also serves as Executive Chairperson of the Company and the Bank. Further, Martha S. Spurlock, a director of the Company and the Bank, is also a member and manager of Unified Shares. Notwithstanding that all of our directors are obligated to fulfill certain fiduciary duties owed to us and our shareholders, the interests of these individuals may differ from the interests of our other directors and/or holders of our common stock as a whole. As members of the Board, these individuals may have influence over matters requiring the vote of the Board, such as, for example, mergers and acquisitions, the appointment or removal of certain officers, and the Company's issuance of additional equity securities.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Our corporate governance documents and the provisions of Tennessee law to which we are subject could make a takeover more difficult, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
The A&R Charter and our amended and restated bylaws (the "A&R Bylaws") could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of our organization or conduct a proxy contest, even if those events were perceived by many of our shareholders as beneficial to their interests. Our A&R Charter and/or A&R Bylaws include, among other things, provisions that: - enable our Board to issue additional shares of authorized but unissued capital stock, including additional shares of common stock and preferred stock, without further shareholder approval, as permitted by the TBCA and applicable Nasdaq rules;- enable our Board to establish the terms of preferred stock, including voting rights, dividend rights, redemption features, rights on liquidation or dissolution, and other preferences, limitations and rights;- establish certain advance notice procedures for the nomination of candidates for election as directors and for shareholder proposals to be considered at an annual or special meeting of shareholders;- provide for a staggered Board with three classes of directors, with directors in one class to be elected annually for three-year terms;- provide that directors cannot be removed except for cause;- provide that special meetings of our shareholders may be called only by the Chairperson of the Board, our Chief Executive Officer, majority vote of all directors then in office, or the holders of 25% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of our voting stock entitled to vote on any matter proposed to be considered at such special meeting; and - enable our Board to increase the size of the board and fill the vacancies created by the increase. Our A&R Charter provides for noncumulative voting for directors and authorizes our Board to issue shares of common stock or preferred stock, as permitted by the TBCA and applicable Nasdaq rules, without shareholder approval and upon such terms as our Board may determine. In the event that we issue preferred stock in the future that has preference over our common stock with respect to payment of dividends or upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or if we issue preferred stock with voting rights that dilute the voting power of our common stock, the rights of the holders of our common stock or the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected. In addition, certain provisions of Tennessee law, including a provision which restricts certain business combinations between a Tennessee corporation and certain affiliated shareholders, may delay, discourage or prevent an attempted acquisition or change in control of the Company. Any of the foregoing provisions may discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control, including under circumstances in which our shareholders might otherwise receive a premium over the market price of our shares. See "Description of Our Capital Stock."
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5If securities analysts do not initiate or continue coverage on us, or if securities analysts publish unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock, the price and trading volume of our common stock could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities analysts publish about us and our business. We do not have any control over these securities analysts, and they may not cover us. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to publish regular reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price or trading volume of our common stock to decline. If we are covered by securities analysts and are the subject of an unfavorable report, the price of our common stock may decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6If we fail to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing rules, our common stock may be delisted from Nasdaq, which would result in a limited trading market for our shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for the Company.
Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "CBK." There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to maintain our compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements. If we fail to do so, our common stock may be delisted and cease trading on Nasdaq. As a result, selling our common stock could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts' coverage of us may be reduced. In addition, in the event our common stock is delisted, broker-dealers would face certain regulatory requirements, which may discourage them from effecting transactions in our common stock and further limit the liquidity of our common stock. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our common stock. Such delisting from Nasdaq and continued or further declines in the share price of our common stock could also greatly impair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financings and could significantly increase the ownership dilution to shareholders caused by our issuing equity in financing or other transactions.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7An investment in our common stock is not an insured deposit and is subject to risk of loss.
Your investment in our common stock will not be a bank deposit and, therefore, will not be insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Your investment will be subject to investment risk, and your investment may lose money.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8We are an "emerging growth company" and a "smaller reporting company" and the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies." As an emerging growth company: - we are required to present only two years of audited financial statements and related information;- we are exempt from the requirement to obtain an attestation report from auditors on management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;- we are not required to comply with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB") requiring mandatory audit partner rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer;- we are permitted to provide less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements pursuant to the rules applicable to smaller reporting companies, which means we do not have to include a compensation discussion and analysis and certain other disclosures regarding our executive compensation; and - we are not required to allow our shareholders non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements. We may take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have at least $1.235 billion in annual gross revenues, (ii) the date on which we become a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act (the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates as of the prior June 30), (iii) the date on which we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period, or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering (December 31, 2030). We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced disclosure requirements. We have elected to adopt certain of the reduced disclosure requirements described above for purposes of this Report. We expect to take advantage of certain of the reduced reporting and other requirements of the JOBS Act with respect to the periodic reports we will file with the SEC and proxy statements that we use to solicit proxies from our shareholders. As a result, the information that we provide to our shareholders may be different than what you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests. In addition, the JOBS Act permits us to take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards affecting public companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period, which means that the financial statements included in this Report, as well as any financial statements that we file in the future, may not be subject to all new or revised accounting standards generally applicable to public companies for the transition period as long as we remain an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards on a non-delayed basis. We are also a smaller reporting company as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. We cannot predict whether investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile or decline.
