Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 66
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Certain directors and officers may be subject to conflicts of interest with respect to the Company due to their relationship with other resource companies.
enCore's directors and officers may serve as directors or officers of other resource companies or have significant shareholdings in other resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which enCore may participate, the directors and officers of enCore may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of enCore's directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms in accordance with the BCBCA. From time to time several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, permitting involvement in a greater number of programs and reducing financial exposure in respect of any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment. In accordance with the laws of British Columbia, the directors of enCore are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of enCore. Interests of directors and officers in a particular program or other resource company may conflict with the interest of our shareholders in earning income on their investment in our common shares.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Investors may experience future dilution as a result of additional debt and equity offerings.
To raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional common shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per share as the shares an investor has previously purchased, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3U.S. investors may not be able to obtain enforcement of civil liabilities against the Company.
The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the U.S. federal or state securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is governed by the BCBCA. It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States on certain of its directors and officers or enforce judgments obtained in the U.S. courts against the Company or certain of the Company's directors and officers based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state of the United States. There is some doubt as to whether a judgment of a U.S. court based solely upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws would be enforceable in Canada against the Company or its directors and officers. There is also doubt as to whether an original action could be brought in Canada against the Company or its directors and officers to enforce liabilities based solely upon U.S. federal or state securities laws.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4The SEC's disclosure requirements for Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, as codified in Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K 1300, create ambiguity for issuers required to comply with both the requirements of S-K 1300 and NI 43-101, and may result in increased compliance costs for the Company.
S-K 1300, as promulgated by the SEC and effective starting in 2021, required that the Company disclose specific information related to its material mining operations, including its Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. While S-K 1300 is substantively the same as NI 43-101, it is relatively new compared to NI 43-101 and, thus, remains subject to unknown interpretations that could require the Company to incur substantial costs associated with compliance. Where substantive disclosure in one regulatory scheme is more restrictive/stringent than in the other, the Company opted to take the more restrictive/stringent approach in its technical reports. NI 43-101 has a prescribed format, whereas S-K 1300 does not; as such, the Company's technical reports follow the formatting requirements of NI 43-101. Any further revisions to, or interpretations of, S-K 1300 or NI 43-101 could result in the Company incurring unforeseen costs associated with compliance, both in the United States and in Canada.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5Our common shares are listed on Nasdaq, which subjects us to various listing standards, noncompliance of which could result in the delisting of our common shares, which could result in lower trading volumes and liquidity in the United States.
Our common shares began trading on Nasdaq on January 2, 2024. Continued listing of a security on Nasdaq is conditioned upon compliance with various listing standards. Failure to comply with Nasdaq's continued listing standards could result in Nasdaq delisting our common shares resulting in our common shares trading in the less liquid over-the-counter market in the United States. If Nasdaq delists our common shares, investors may face material adverse consequences including, but not limited to, a lack of trading market for our securities in the United States, reduced liquidity, decreased analyst coverage of our securities, and an inability for us to obtain additional financing to fund our operations. Moreover, even to the extent our common shares remain listed on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance an active and liquid trading market for our common shares will develop or be maintained.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6The market price for common shares cannot be assured and is subject to volatility.
Securities markets have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies has experienced wide fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, shareholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. For example, we currently are involved in a federal securities class action litigation, as described further in Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm enCore's profitability and reputation.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7The issuance of additional common shares may dilute shareholders' interest in the Company, including pursuant to the conversion of our Convertible Senior Notes, and may affect the trading price of our common shares .
enCore may require additional funds to fund its exploration and development programs and potential acquisitions. If enCore raises additional funding by issuing additional equity securities, such financing may substantially dilute the interests of its shareholders. The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible at the option of the holders upon the occurrence of certain events and/or during certain periods. Upon the conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, common shares or a combination of cash and common shares, at our election. The issuance of common shares upon the conversion of our Convertible Senior Notes may dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders. In addition, the existence of the Convertible Senior Notes may encourage short selling by market participants that engage in hedging or arbitrage activity, and anticipated conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes into common shares could depress the price of our common shares. enCore may also issue additional common shares in the future pursuant to proposed acquisitions and on the exercise of its outstanding stock options and warrants. Sales of substantial amounts of enCore's common shares, or the availability of such common shares for sale, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices for enCore's securities. A decline in the market prices of enCore's securities could impair its ability to raise additional capital through the sale of new common shares should enCore desire to do so.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8Dividends, if ever paid, on the common shares are subject to Canadian withholding tax.
It is currently not anticipated that we will pay any dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future. Dividends received by shareholders who are residents of the U.S. ("U.S. Holders") will be subject to Canadian withholding tax. Any dividends may not qualify for a reduced rate of withholding tax under the U.S.-Canada Treaty. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder may elect for any taxable year to receive either a credit or a deduction for all foreign income taxes paid by the holder during the year. Dividends paid on the common stock will be treated as foreign-source income, and generally will be treated as "passive category income" or "general category income" for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Subject to certain limitations, a U.S. Holder should be able to take a deduction for the U.S. Holder's Canadian tax paid, provided that the U.S. Holder has not elected to credit other foreign taxes during the same taxable year. Dividends received by Non-U.S. Holders who are not residents of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act will be subject to Canadian withholding tax. These dividends may qualify for a reduced rate of Canadian withholding tax under any income tax treaty otherwise applicable to our shareholders, subject to examination of the relevant treaty. Each of our shareholders should seek tax advice, based on such shareholder's particular facts and circumstances, from an independent tax advisor.
