Share Price & Shareholder Rights4 | 9.1%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The holders of Class B convertible common stock have effective voting control of our company.

    We have two classes of common stock: common stock and Class B convertible common stock.  The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held, while the holders of Class B convertible common stock are entitled to 10 votes for each share held. The ownership of Class B convertible common stock is highly concentrated, and holders of Class B convertible common stock effectively can cause the election of directors and the approval or disapproval of other matters requiring stockholder approval. Mrs. Ruta Zandman, the widow of the late founder of our technology, Dr. Felix Zandman, controls the voting of, solely or on a shared basis with Marc Zandman (Dr. Felix Zandman's son) and Ziv Shoshani (Mrs. Ruta Zandman's nephew and our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors), approximately 76.9% of our Class B convertible common stock, representing 35.0% of the total voting power of our capital stock as of December 31, 2025. Holders of our Class B convertible common stock may act in ways that are contrary to, or not in the best interests of, holders of our common stock. The voting rights of the holders of our Class B convertible common stock effectively give such holders the ability to prevent transactions that would result in a change in control of us, including transactions in which holders of our common stock might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over the then-current market price.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may reduce the likelihood of any unsolicited acquisition proposal or potential change of control that you might consider favorable.

    Our bylaws contain provisions that could be considered "anti-takeover" provisions because they make it harder for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our incumbent board of directors. Under these by-law provisions: - stockholders may not change the size of the board of directors or, except in limited circumstances, fill vacancies on the board of directors;- stockholders may not call special meetings of stockholders;- stockholders must comply with advance notice provisions for nominating directors or presenting other proposals at stockholder meetings; and - our Board of Directors, may without stockholder approval, issue preferred shares and determine their rights and terms, including voting rights, or adopt a stockholder rights plan. These provisions could have the effect of discouraging an unsolicited acquisition proposal or delaying, deferring, or preventing a change of control transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be considered favorable by our stockholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Our stock price could become more volatile and investments could lose value.

    The market price of our common stock, and the number of shares traded each day, has experienced significant fluctuations and may continue to fluctuate significantly. The market price for our common stock may be affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to: - shortfalls in our expected net revenue, earnings or key performance metrics;- changes in recommendations or estimates by securities analysts;- the announcement of new products by us or our competitors;- quarterly variations in our or our competitors' results of operations;- a change in our dividend or stock repurchase activities;- developments in our industry or changes in the market for technology stocks;- changes in rules or regulations applicable to our business; and - other factors, including economic instability, inflation, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions and changes in political or market conditions. A significant drop in our stock price could expose us to costly and time consuming litigation, which could result in substantial costs, and divert management's attention and resources, resulting in an adverse effect on our business. Also, given our market capitalization and trading volume fluctuations, it is possible that there will be less market and institutional interest in our shares, and that we will not attract substantial coverage in the analyst community. As a result, the trading market for our shares may be less liquid, making it more difficult for investors to dispose of their shares at favorable prices, and investors may have less independent information and analysis available to them concerning our company.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Your percentage ownership of our common stock may be diluted in the future.

    Your percentage ownership of our common stock may be diluted in the future because of equity awards that we expect will be granted to our directors, officers, and employees. The Vishay Precision Group, Inc. 2022 Stock Incentive Program, as may be amended from time to time, provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, and other equity-based awards to our directors, officers, and other employees, advisors and consultants.

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.
