Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 21
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The Company's management may be deemed to control the Company.
The Company's management, including Henry M. Nahmad, the Company's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, and the Company's Board of Directors through stockholders agreement granting it the right to direct the voting of certain shares issued as consideration in acquisitions, may be deemed to control the Company as a result of their collective voting power over shares representing approximately 57.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock as of June 30, 2024. Under the Company's Bylaws, directors are elected by a plurality vote and all other matters put to a vote of the Company's stockholders require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company's common stock represented at a meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the matter unless a greater percentage is required by applicable law. Consequently, other than in very limited circumstances where a greater vote is required by applicable law, Mr. Nahmad and the other members of the Company's management, without the consent or vote of any other stockholders of the Company, have the voting power to elect directors and approve other actions that require stockholder approval. The interests of the Company's management may conflict with the interests of the Company's other stockholders and also could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company or its management and/or adversely impact the market price of the Company's common stock or the ability of the Company's other stockholders to receive a premium for their shares in connection with any sale of the Company. Further, as a result of management's controlling voting position with respect to the Company's common stock, the Company is a "controlled company" within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE American, on which the Company's common stock is listed. As a "controlled company," the Company is not required under the listing standards of the NYSE American to comply with certain corporate governance requirements set forth therein, including: - the requirement that a majority of the Company's Board of Directors consists of independent directors;- the requirement that directors be recommended for nomination by, and other nominating and corporate governance matters be decided solely by, a nominating/corporate governance committee consisting of independent directors; and - the requirement that executive compensation matters be decided by a compensation committee consisting of independent directors. While executive compensation matters are determined by a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors and the Company's Board of Directors is currently comprised of, and has historically generally been comprised of, a majority of independent directors, the Company does not have a standing nominating/corporate governance committee and the Company has in the past from time to time maintained a Board of Directors not comprised of a majority of independent directors. In addition, in the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, the Company may choose to utilize or continue to utilize any or all of the exceptions in the future. As a result, the Company's stockholders may not have certain of the same protections as a stockholder of other publicly-traded companies which are not "controlled companies" and the market price of the Company's common stock may be adversely affected. The concentration of ownership with respect to the Company's common stock also results in there being a limited trading volume, which may make it more difficult for stockholders to sell their shares and increase the price volatility of the Company's common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2As a "smaller reporting company," the Company may avail itself of reduced disclosure requirements, which may make the Company's common stock less attractive to investors.
Under applicable SEC rules and regulations, the Company is a "smaller reporting company" and will continue to be a "smaller reporting company" for so long as the market value of the Company's common stock held by non-affiliates as of the end of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter is less than $250 million. As a "smaller reporting company," the Company has relied on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies. The Company may continue to rely on such exemptions for so long as the Company remains a "smaller reporting company." These exemptions include reduced financial disclosure and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. The Company's reliance on these exemptions may result in the public finding the Company's common stock to be less attractive and adversely impact the market price of, or trading market for, the Company's common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3The issuance of preferred stock and common stock, and the authority of the Company's Board of Directors to approve issuances of preferred stock and common stock, could adversely affect the rights of the Company's stockholders and have an anti-takeover effect.
As permitted by Delaware law, the Company's Board of Directors is authorized under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), to approve the issuance by the Company of up to 200,000 shares of preferred stock, and to designate the relative rights, preferences and limitations of any preferred stock so issued, in each case, without any action on the part of the Company's stockholders. Currently, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding. In the event that the Company issues preferred stock in the future that has preference over the Company's common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the rights of holders of shares of the Company's common stock may be adversely affected. In addition, the Company is authorized under its Certificate of Incorporation to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock. Inclusive of unvested restricted stock awards, there are currently approximately 14.0 million shares of common stock outstanding. Subject to applicable law and the rules and regulations of the NYSE American, the Company's Board of Directors (or a committee thereof, in the case of shares issued under the Company's equity-based compensation plan) has the power to approve the issuance of any authorized but unissued shares of the Company's common stock, and any such issuances, including, without limitation, those under the Company's equity-based compensation plan or pursuant to any acquisitions or other strategic transactions consummated by the Company or in connection with the financing thereof, would result in dilution to the Company's stockholders. These provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation could also delay or prevent a change in control of the Company or its management, and could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of the Company's common stock.
