Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 37
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1As of March 31, 2026, we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, but remain a smaller reporting company, which permits us to continue to take advantage of certain scaled disclosure requirements, and we cannot be certain if our use of such scaled disclosure requirements will make our Common Stock or Warrants less attractive to investors which may result in a less active trading market for our Common Stock or Warrants.
As of March 31, 2026 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering), we ceased to be an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act ("JOBS Act"). As a result, we are no longer able to rely on certain exemptions from various reporting and governance requirements that were previously available to us, including the exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we were not subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies during the period we were an emerging growth company. As a result, our financial statements while we were an emerging growth company may not be comparable to companies that complied with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. Because the worldwide market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or "public float", is below $250 million, we continue to qualify as a "smaller reporting company" as defined under the Exchange Act. As a "smaller reporting company," this allows us to take advantage of many of the same scaled disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, including scaled executive compensation disclosures. We have elected to utilize the accommodations available to smaller reporting companies. Until we cease to be a smaller reporting company, the scaled disclosure in our SEC filings will result in less information about our company being available than for public companies that are not smaller reporting companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock or Warrants less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock or Warrants less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and Warrants and their market prices may be more volatile.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Stockholder activism or unsolicited acquisition proposals could disrupt our business, divert management's attention and adversely affect our ability to execute our long-term strategy.
Activist investors may from time to time threaten or commence proxy contests, "vote no" campaigns, or take other actions, including advancing shareholder proposals, or otherwise attempting to effect changes and assert influence over our Board and management and the Company may, from time to time, receive unsolicited acquisition proposals. For example, in February 2026, Irenic submitted a non-binding indication of interest to acquire all of our outstanding common equity. In March 2026, the Company received a separate non-binding proposal from Wesbild/Richmond. Responding to activist shareholders or unsolicited acquisition proposals can be costly and time-consuming and may significantly divert the time and attention of our Board and management team from executing our business strategy, as well as generate substantial legal, advisory, and public relations costs. If an unsolicited acquisition proposal were to result in a transaction, we may not realize the long-term value of our strategic plan as a standalone public company. Alternatively, actual or perceived stockholder activism or the perception that the Company may be involved in a potential transaction could cause significant volatility in the market price of our Common Stock. Any of these factors could materially adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3The future sales of shares by our stockholders may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and Warrants.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market could occur at any time. If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell, substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, the market price of our Common Stock could decline. The holders of the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the IPO. The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands that we register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares, the Private Units and any working capital loans made to us are entitled to make up to two demands that we register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which the Founder Shares are to be released from escrow. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination. The presence of these additional Founder Shares trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4We may redeem unexpired Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making the Warrants worthless.
We have the ability to redeem the outstanding Public Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant, provided that the closing price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption to the registered holders. If we call the Public Warrants for redemption, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a cashless basis. In addition, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. As a result, we may redeem the Public Warrants as set forth above even if the holders are otherwise unable to exercise such Public Warrants. Redemption of the outstanding Public Warrants could force you to (i) exercise your Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) sell your Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your Warrants or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Warrants are called for redemption, may be substantially less than the market value of your Warrants. The Private Warrants are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5We have Warrants outstanding that are exercisable for our Common Stock, which, if exercised, would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.
As of March 31, 2026, our outstanding Warrants included 5,750,000 publicly-traded warrants (the "Public Warrants"), which were issued during ROCC's initial public offering on December 15, 2020, and 137,500 warrants sold in a private placement to ROCC's sponsor (the "Private Warrants"). Each whole Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. To the extent such Warrants are exercised, additional shares of our Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of our Common Stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such Warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Common Stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6The market price of our Common Stock and Warrants is volatile and may fluctuate from period to period, and you may lose some or all of your investment.
The market price of our Common Stock and Warrants may be highly volatile and may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including the following: - our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry compared to market expectations;- the size of our public float;- our inability to maintain the listing of our Common Stock and Warrants on Nasdaq;- coverage by or changes in financial estimates by securities or industry analysts or failure to meet their expectations;- changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;- changes in senior management or key personnel;- changes in applicable laws or regulations;- risks relating to the uncertainty of our projected financial information;- risks related to the organic and inorganic growth of our business and the timing of expected business milestones; and - changes in general market, economic and political conditions in the U.S. and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from natural disasters, terrorist attacks, acts of war and responses to such events. In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors, as well as general economic, political, regulatory and market conditions, may negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock and Warrants, regardless of our actual operating performance. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. If we face such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or publish negative reports, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our Common Stock and Warrants will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us. We do not have any control over these analysts. In addition, because we did not become a public reporting company by means of a traditional underwritten initial public offering, security or industry analysts may not provide, or be less likely to provide, coverage of us. If our financial performance fails to meet analyst estimates or one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our Common Stock or Warrants or change their opinion, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8We may be unable to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq in the future and an active trading market in our Common Stock and Warrants may not be maintained.
If we fail to meet the continued listing requirements and Nasdaq delists our Common Stock or Warrants, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: - a limited availability of market quotations for our Common Stock and Warrants;- a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for us; and - a decreased or complete loss of ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9Anti-takeover provisions contained in the Charter and the Bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.
The Charter and the Bylaws contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together these provisions may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our Common Stock and Warrants.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10Our Charter contains exclusive forum provisions which may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against us, our directors and officers.
The Charter requires that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery (the "Chancery Court") of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on behalf of us, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or stockholders to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Charter or the Bylaws, or (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. In addition, subject to the provisions of the preceding sentence, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the first sentence of this paragraph is filed in a court other than the courts in the State of Delaware (a "foreign action") in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder will be deemed to have consented to (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the provisions of the first sentence of this paragraph, and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder's counsel in the foreign action as agent for such stockholder. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the Charter. This forum selection clause may discourage claims or limit stockholders' ability to submit claims in a judicial forum that they find favorable and may result in additional costs for a stockholder seeking to bring a claim. While we believe the risk of a court declining to enforce this forum selection clause is low, if a court were to determine this forum selection clause to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs in conjunction with our efforts to resolve the dispute in an alternative jurisdiction, which could have a negative impact on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of our management and board of directors.
