Share Price & Shareholder Rights3 | 9.4%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Holders of our Class B common stock have significantly less voting power than holders of our Class A common stock.

    Holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to one- tenth of a vote per share on all matters on which our stockholders are entitled to vote, while holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to three votes per share. As a result, the ability of holders of our Class B common stock to influence our management is limited.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    We are controlled by our principal stockholder, which limits the ability of other stockholders to affect the management of the Company.

    Howard S. Jonas, our Chairman of our Board of Directors controls a majority of the voting power of our capital stock. As of April 27, 2026, Mr. Jonas has voting power over 1,574,326 shares of our Class A common stock (which are convertible into shares of our Class B common stock on a 1-for-1 basis) and 3,106,560 shares of our Class B common stock, representing approximately 69.9% of the combined voting power of our outstanding capital stock. Mr. Jonas will be able to control matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of all of the directors and the approval of significant corporate matters, including any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. As a result, the ability of any of our other stockholders to influence our management is limited.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The relationships between Howard S. Jonas and IDT Corporation and Rafael Holdings, Inc. could conflict with our stockholders' interests.

    Howard S. Jonas, Chairman of our Board of Directors and former Chief Executive Officer, is also the chairman of IDT Corporation and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board of Rafael Holdings, Inc. (Rafael). These relationships may cause a conflict of interest with our stockholders, specifically with regard to demands on Mr. Jonas' time and the attention that he can dedicate to the Company as well as in the unlikely event that the business interests of the Company and other entities controlled by Mr. Jonas were to conflict. Although we, IDT Corporation and Rafael each have implemented policies and procedures (including each of those entity's respective Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Corporate Governance Guidelines and Statement of Policy with Respect to Related Person Transactions) to  (i) specifically address the prohibition, without the express consent of the Board of Directors, for a director to take for themselves personally opportunities that are discovered through the use of Company property, information or position; and (ii) identify and properly address potential and actual conflicts of interest , there can be no assurance that, when such business opportunities arise or conflicts are resolved in accordance with applicable laws, such conflicts of interest will not harm our business, prospects and financial condition and result in the diversion of Company corporate opportunities to IDT and/or Rafael.

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.
