- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Stockholder litigation related to the Green Dot Merger, the Payments Sale or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement could prevent or delay the completion of such transactions, result in the payment of damages or otherwise negatively impact our business and operations.
Stockholders have and may continue to file lawsuits challenging the Green Dot Merger, the Payments Sale or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement, which may name us, our officers or members of our Board of Directors as defendants. Green Dot has received demand letters from purported stockholders of Green Dot, and complaints have been filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York by purported stockholders against Green Dot, alleging deficiencies and/or omissions of certain allegedly material information in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by New CommerceOne with the SEC, as amended, of which the proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. In response to such stockholder demand letters and complaints, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on June 16, 2026, containing supplemental disclosures regarding, among other things, certain financial projections and the background of the transactions. New CommerceOne, CommerceOne and Green Dot believe that the allegations in these letters and complaints are without merit. If additional similar demand letters are received or complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, neither New CommerceOne, CommerceOne nor Green Dot will necessarily announce them. We cannot assure you as to the outcome of any pending or future lawsuits, including the amount of costs associated with defending such claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of such claims. If any plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the Green Dot Merger, the Payments Sale or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the completion of such transactions in the expected time-frame or may prevent such transactions from being completed altogether. Whether or not any plaintiff's claim is successful, this type of litigation may result in significant costs and divert management's attention and resources, which could adversely affect the operation of our business.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2The merger consideration to be received by our stockholders is fixed (subject to limited exceptions) and will not be adjusted for changes affecting us or CommerceOne.
At the First Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of our common stock, subject to limited exceptions, will be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.2215 shares of the common stock of New CommerceOne and (ii) an amount in cash equal to $8.11, less any withholding and without interest. Subject to limited exceptions, the exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes affecting us or CommerceOne, including for changes in the market price or value of our common stock or CommerceOne common stock. There has been, and will be, a time lapse between each of the date of the proxy statement/prospectus for the stockholders' meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, the date on which our stockholders voted to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement, and the date on which our stockholders entitled to receive shares of New CommerceOne common stock actually receive such shares. The value of CommerceOne common stock and, following the First Effective Time, the value of New CommerceOne common stock may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in our and CommerceOne's businesses, operations and prospects, and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are outside of our and CommerceOne's control. The actual value of the shares of New CommerceOne common stock received by our stockholders will depend on the value of shares of New CommerceOne common stock at the time the Mergers are completed. This market value may be less or more than the value used to determine the exchange ratio stated in the Merger Agreement and the proxy statement/prospectus.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Our charter documents, Delaware law and our status as a bank holding company could discourage, delay or prevent a takeover that stockholders consider favorable.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions under Delaware law, could discourage potential takeover attempts, reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Class A common stock, and result in the trading price of our Class A common stock being lower than it otherwise would be. In addition to the foregoing, under the BHC Act and the Change in Bank Control Act, and their respective implementing regulations, Federal Reserve approval is necessary prior to any person or company acquiring control of a bank or BHC, subject to certain exceptions. Control, among other considerations, exists if an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities, and may be presumed to exist if a person acquires 10% or more of any class of voting securities. These restrictions could affect the willingness or ability of a third party to acquire control of us for so long as we are a BHC.
