Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 40
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The Trading Volume in the Company's Common Stock is Less Than That of Larger Companies.
Although the Company's common stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ, the trading volume in the Company's common stock is substantially less than that of larger companies. Given the lower trading volume of the Company's common stock, significant purchases or sales of the Company's common stock, or the expectation of such purchases or sales, could cause significant volatility in the price for the Company's common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2The Market Price of the Company's Common Stock May Fluctuate Significantly, and This May Make it Difficult for You to Resell Shares of Common Stock Owned by You at Times or at Prices You Find Attractive.
The price of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ constantly changes. The Company expects that the market price of its common stock will continue to fluctuate, and the Company cannot give you any assurances regarding any trends in the market prices for its common stock. The Company's stock price may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond its control. These factors include, but are not limited to, the Company's: - past and future dividend practice;- financial condition, performance, creditworthiness and prospects;- quarterly variations in the Company's operating results or the quality of the Company's assets;- operating results that vary from the expectations of management, securities analysts and investors;- changes in expectations as to the Company's future financial performance;- announcements of innovations, new products, strategic developments, significant contracts, acquisitions and other material events by the Company or its competitors;- the operating and securities price performance of other companies that investors believe are comparable to the Company's;- future sales of the Company's equity or equity-related securities;- the credit, mortgage and housing markets, the markets for securities relating to mortgages or housing, and developments with respect to financial institutions generally;- catastrophic events, including natural disasters, and public health crises; and - instability in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions, such as interest or foreign exchange rates, stock, commodity or real estate valuations or volatility, budget deficits or sovereign debt level concerns and other geopolitical, regulatory or judicial events. In addition, the banking industry may be more affected than other industries by certain economic, credit, regulatory or information security issues. Although the Company itself may or may not be directly impacted by such issues, the Company's stock price may vary due to the influence, both real and perceived, of these issues, among others, on the banking industry in general. Investment in the Company's stock is not insured against loss by the FDIC, or any other public or private entity. As a result, and for the other reasons described in this "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in this report, if you acquire our common stock, you may lose some or all of your investment.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Shareholder Dilution Could Occur if Additional Stock is Issued in the Future.
If the Board should determine in the future that there is a need to obtain additional capital through the issuance of additional shares of the Company's common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock, such issuances could result in dilution to existing stockholders' ownership interest. Similarly, if the Board decides to grant additional stock awards or options for the purchase of shares of common stock, the issuance of such additional stock awards and/or the issuance of additional shares upon the exercise of such options would expose stockholders to dilution.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Damage to the Company's Reputation Could Affect the Company's Profitability and Shareholders' Value.
The Company is dependent on its reputation within its market area, as a trusted and responsible financial company, for all aspects of its business with customers, employees, vendors, third-party service providers, and others, with whom the Company conducts business or potential future business. Any negative publicity or public complaints, whether real or perceived, disseminated by word of mouth, by the general media, by electronic or social networking means, or by other methods, regarding, among other things, the Company's current or potential business practices or activities, cyber-security issues, regulatory compliance, an inability to meet obligations, employees, management or directors' ethical standards or actions, or about the banking industry in general, could harm the Company's reputation. Any damage to the Company's reputation could affect its ability to retain and develop the business relationships necessary to conduct business which in turn could negatively impact the Company's profitability and shareholders' value. There has been a marked increase in the use of social media platforms, including weblogs (blogs), social media websites, and other forms of Internet-based communications which allow individuals' access to a broad audience of consumers and other interested persons. Many social media platforms immediately publish the content their subscribers and participants' post, often without filters or checks on accuracy of the content posted. Information posted on such platforms at any time may be adverse to the Bank's interests and/or may be inaccurate. The dissemination of information online could harm the Bank's business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations, regardless of the information's accuracy. The harm may be immediate without affording the Bank an opportunity for redress or correction. Other risks associated with the use of social media include improper disclosure of proprietary information, negative comments about the Bank's business, exposure of personally identifiable information, fraud, out-of-date information, and improper use by employees, directors and customers. The inappropriate use of social media by the Bank's customers, directors or employees could result in negative consequences such as remediation costs including training for employees, additional regulatory scrutiny and possible regulatory penalties, litigation, or negative publicity that could damage the Bank's reputation adversely affecting customer or investor confidence.
