Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 39
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Short sellers of our stock may be manipulative and may drive down the market price of our common stock.
Short selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own, but rather has borrowed or intends to borrow from a third party with the intention of buying identical securities at a later date to return to the lender. A short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. It is therefore in the short seller's interest for the price of the stock to decline, and some short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, opinions or characterizations regarding the relevant issuer, often involving misrepresentations of the issuer's business prospects and similar matters calculated to create negative market momentum, which may permit them to obtain profits for themselves as a result of selling the stock short. As a public entity, we may be the subject of concerted efforts by short sellers to spread negative information in order to gain a market advantage. In addition, the publication of misinformation may also result in lawsuits, the uncertainty and expense of which could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and reputation. There are no assurances that we will not face short sellers' efforts or similar tactics in the future, and the market price of our stock may decline as a result of their actions.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Purchases of our common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase plan may affect the value of our common stock, and there can be no assurance that our stock repurchase plan will enhance stockholder value.
In 2025, we approved an increase to our existing share repurchase authorization to permit repurchases of up to $150 million in worth of shares of our common stock, including through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase programs, Rule 10b5-1 plans, or privately negotiated transactions, each in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. Repurchase activity has previously impacted and could in the future increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of our common stock. Additionally, repurchases diminish our cash reserves, which could impact our ability to pursue other possible strategic opportunities or could result in lower overall returns on our cash balances. There can be no assurance that any share repurchases will enhance stockholder value because the market price of our common stock shares could decline. Although the share repurchase program is intended to enhance long-term stockholder value, short-term share price fluctuations could reduce the program's effectiveness.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Future sales or the possibility of future sales of a substantial amount of our common stock may depress the price of shares of our common stock.
We may sell additional shares of common stock in subsequent public offerings or otherwise, including financing acquisitions. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue 206,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 61,756,639 are outstanding as of December 31, 2025. All of these shares, other than certain outstanding shares held by our officers and directors as of December 31, 2025, are freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our common stock or the effect, if any that future issuances and sales of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock (including any shares issued in connection with an acquisition), or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4The market price of our common stock may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control. These factors include the perceived prospects for or actual operating results of our business; changes in estimates of our operating results by analysts, investors or our management; our actual operating results relative to such estimates or expectations; actions or announcements by us, our agents, or our competitors; litigation and judicial decisions; legislative or regulatory actions; and changes in general economic or market conditions. In addition, the stock market in general has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These market fluctuations could reduce the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to our operating performance.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5Our organizational documents may impede or discourage a takeover, which could deprive our investors of the opportunity to receive a premium for their shares.
Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may make it more difficult for, or prevent a third party from, acquiring control of us without the approval of our Board. These provisions include: - prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;- authorizing the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock without any need for action by stockholders (as further described below);- prohibiting stockholders from acting by written consent unless the action is taken by unanimous written consent; and - establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our Board or for proposing matters that can be acted on by stockholders at stockholder meetings. Our issuance of shares of preferred stock could delay or prevent a change in control of us. Our Board has authority to issue shares of preferred stock. Our Board may issue preferred stock in one or more series, designate the number of shares constituting any series, and fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, redemption price or prices and liquidation preferences of such series. The existence of the foregoing provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of us, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition.
