Share Price & Shareholder Rights4 | 9.1%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Future sales or issuances of our common stock or other securities (including warrants) or the issuance of securities pursuant to the exercise of warrants issued by us may dilute existing holders of our common stock and other securities, decrease the value of our common stock and other securities and adversely affect the market price of our common stock and other securities.

    We are subject to regulatory capital requirements which, if changed, could result in more stringent capital or liquidity requirements, including increases in the levels of regulatory capital we are required to maintain. Accordingly, we may seek to raise additional capital, including by pursuing or effecting additional issuances of our securities. Our ability to raise additional capital (and the associated terms) depends on conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions, and a number of other factors, including investor perceptions regarding the financial services and banking industry, market conditions and governmental activities, and on our financial condition and performance. The Board has the authority, in many situations, to issue additional shares of authorized but unissued stock (including securities convertible or exchangeable for stock) in public or private offerings without any vote of our shareholders. If, in the future, we are required or otherwise determine to raise additional capital (including through the issuance of additional securities), any such capital raise or issuance may dilute the percentage of ownership interest of existing shareholders, may dilute the per share book value of our common stock and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and other securities. No assurance can be given that, in the future, we will be able to (i) raise any required capital or (ii) raise capital on terms that are beneficial to shareholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Although the Bank currently expects to file its Exchange Act reports with the SEC on a voluntary basis, the Bank may cease voluntarily filing at any time. If the Bank were to cease voluntarily filing with the SEC, its reports would no longer be available on the SEC's EDGAR system and may be more difficult for investors to locate.

    Historically, we have filed our annual, quarterly and current reports and other business and financial information required by the Exchange Act with the SEC. The SEC has made these filings publicly available through its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system. EDGAR allows investors to readily access the Bank's filings via the SEC's website. Following the Reorganization, we are only required to file those quarterly and annual reports with the OCC. In addition, we concurrently file such reports with the SEC on a voluntary basis. However, we can cease such voluntary reporting at any time, in which case we would only file our Exchange Act reports with the OCC. The OCC does not have a system comparable to EDGAR and there can be no assurance that the OCC will develop a comparable system in the near future. Therefore, to the extent that we do not file our quarterly and annual reports required by the Exchange Act with the SEC on a voluntary basis following the Reorganization, investors may find it more difficult to access these reports and thus may view us less favorably.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock initially have rights, preferences and privileges that are not held by, and are preferential to the rights of, our common stockholders, which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.

    The holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock initially have the right to receive a payment on account of the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our business before any payment may be made to holders of our common stock. Following the satisfaction of the liquidation preference, the Series B Preferred Stock participates with our common stock on an as-converted basis in a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Bank. Our obligations to the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock could limit our ability to obtain additional financing, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition. The preferential rights could also result in divergent interests between the holders of our common stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and other classes of securities.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are discretionary and noncumulative and may not be paid if such payment will result in our failure to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

    Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are discretionary and noncumulative. If the Board (or any duly authorized committee of the Board) does not authorize and declare a dividend on (a) the Series A Preferred Stock for any dividend period, holders of the depository shares will not be entitled to receive any dividend for that dividend period, and the unpaid dividend will cease to accrue and be payable, or (b) Series B Preferred Stock, the holders thereof will not be entitled to receive any dividend for that dividend period. For our Series A Preferred Stock, we have no obligation to pay dividends accrued for a dividend period after the dividend payment date for that period if the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) has not declared a dividend before the related dividend payment date, whether or not dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock or any other series of our preferred stock or our common stock are declared for any future dividend period. Additionally, under the OCC's capital rules, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock may only be paid out of our net income, retained earnings, or surplus related to other additional tier 1 capital instruments. If the non-payment of dividends on Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock for any dividend period would cause the Bank to fail to comply with any applicable law or regulation, or any agreement we may enter into with our regulators from time to time, then we would not be able to declare or pay a dividend for such dividend period.

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.
