  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    An active, liquid trading market for our common stock may not be sustained.

    Presently, our common stock is traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, and an investment in our company may require a long-term commitment, with no certainty of return. If we are unable to maintain an active, liquid active trading market: - investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations;- market visibility for shares of our common stock may be limited; and - a lack of visibility for shares of our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for shares of our common stock. The lack of an active market could impair your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire additional intellectual property assets by using our shares as consideration.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    We are currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If we are unable to maintain listing of our securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any stock exchange, our stock price could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired and it may be more difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.

    Although our common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to continue to meet the exchange's minimum listing requirements or those of any other national exchange. If we are unable to maintain listing on Nasdaq or if a liquid market for our common stock does not develop or is sustained, our common stock may remain thinly traded. The Listing Rules of Nasdaq require listing issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any reason, we should fail to maintain compliance with these listing standards and Nasdaq should delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our stockholders: - the liquidity of our common stock;- the market price of our common stock;- our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations;- the number of institutional and general investors that will consider investing in our common stock;- the number of investors in general that will consider investing in our common stock;- the number of market makers in our common stock;- the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common stock; and - the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Our failure to maintain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements could result in the delisting of our common stock.

    Our common stock is currently listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We must satisfy the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") to maintain the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements, and if we are unable to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements, our securities may be delisted from Nasdaq. A delisting could substantially decrease trading in our common stock, adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws, adversely affect our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, if at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. Additionally, the market price of our common stock may decline further, and stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    The market price of our common stock may be significantly volatile.

    The market price for our common stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results;- changes in financial or operational estimates or projections;- conditions in markets generally;- changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies similar to ours; and - general economic or political conditions in the U.S. or elsewhere. In particular, the market prices of biotechnology companies like ours have been highly volatile due to factors, including, but not limited to: - any delay or failure to conduct a clinical trial for our product or receive approval from the FDA and other regulatory agencies;- developments or disputes concerning a company's intellectual property rights;- technological innovations of such companies or their competitors;- changes in market valuations of similar companies;- announcements by such companies or their competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, new technologies, or patents; and - failure to complete significant transactions or collaborate with vendors in manufacturing a product. The securities market has from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Future sales of shares by existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

    Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of common stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. As of December 31, 2025, we had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 1,386,020 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $37.40 per share, 498,543 shares of common stock issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units, pre-funded warrants to purchase 1,025,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,873 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $208.80 per share. The exercise of such outstanding options and warrants and vesting of restricted stock units will result in further dilution of your investment. If our existing stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or if the public perceives that such sales could occur, this could have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock, even if there is no relationship between such sales and the performance of our business.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Future capital raises may dilute our existing stockholders' ownership and/or have other adverse effects on our operations.

    If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders' percentage ownership will be reduced, and these stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may also issue equity securities that provide for rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities would have rights senior to those of our common stock and the terms of the debt securities issued could impose significant restrictions on our operations, including liens on our assets. If we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our technologies or candidate products, or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, allows for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

    Our Board has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. We anticipate that our Board will have the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation and the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock. In addition, our Board could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stock or that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.

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.
