    We may lose our Foreign Private Issuer status, which would alter our reporting requirements.

    We may lose our status as a foreign private issuer if, as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter for any year, more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities (as determined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act) are directly or indirectly held of record by residents of the United States and certain additional conditions relating to the citizenship or residency of our executive officers or directors, the location of our assets, or the administration of our business are met. The regulatory and compliance costs under U.S. federal securities laws as a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly more than the costs we incur as a foreign private issuer. If we are not a foreign private issuer, we would no longer be eligible to use the Form 20-F or other foreign private issuer forms and would be required to file periodic and current reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. These increased costs may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    We may require additional capital which may result in dilution to existing shareholders.

    We may sell additional equity securities in subsequent offerings (including through the sale of securities convertible into equity securities) and may issue additional equity securities to finance operations, acquisitions or other projects. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of equity securities or the size and terms of future issuances of debt instruments or other securities convertible into equity securities or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of securities will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Any transaction involving the issuance of previously authorized but unissued Common Shares, or securities convertible into Common Shares, would result in dilution, possibly substantial, to securityholders. Exercises of presently outstanding share options may also result in dilution to security holders. Our board of directors ("Board") has the authority to authorize certain offers and sales of additional securities without the vote of, or prior notice to, shareholders. Based on the need for additional capital to fund expected expenditures and growth, we expect that we will issue additional securities to provide such capital. Such additional issuances may involve the issuance of a significant number of Common Shares at prices less than the current market price for the Common Shares. Sales of substantial amounts of securities, or the availability of such securities for sale, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices for securities and dilute investors' earnings per share. A decline in the market prices of the securities could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of securities should we desire to do so. Sales of Common Shares by shareholders might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and price that it may deem to be appropriate.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Our Common Shares may be illiquid.

    Our shareholders may be unable to sell significant quantities of Common Shares into the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of their Common Shares, or at all. There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient liquidity of our Common Shares on the trading market, and that we will continue to meet the listing requirements of Nasdaq.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The market price of our securities may be volatile.

    An investment in our securities is highly speculative. The market prices for the securities of pharmaceutical companies, including ours, have historically been highly volatile. The market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of any particular company. In addition, because of the nature of our business, certain factors such as announcements, competition from new therapeutic products or technological innovations, governmental regulations, fluctuations in operating results, results of clinical trials, public concern regarding the safety of drugs generally, general market conditions, developments in patent and proprietary rights, our financial condition or results of operations as reflected in our quarterly and annual financial statements, operating performance and the performance of competitors and other similar companies, changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track our securities or securities of other companies in the life sciences sector, general market conditions, announcements relating to litigation, the arrival or departure of key personnel and the factors listed under the heading "Risk Factors" can have an adverse impact on the market price of the Common Shares. Any negative change in the public's perception of our prospects could cause the price of our securities, including the price of the Common Shares, to decrease dramatically. Furthermore, any negative change in the public's perception of the prospects of life sciences companies in general could depress the price of our securities, including the price of the Common Shares, regardless of our financial and operating results. In the past, following declines in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation often has been instituted against said company. Litigation of this type, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention and resources.

    We may fail to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq which could result in a delisting of our securities.

    If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, such as minimum bid price requirements, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our Common Shares. Such a delisting would have a materially adverse effect on the price of our outstanding securities, impair the ability to sell or purchase our Common Shares or securities convertible or exercisable into Common Shares when persons wish to do so, and materially and adversely affect our ability to raise capital or pursue strategic restructuring, refinancing or other transactions on acceptable terms, or at all. To maintain the listing of our Common Shares on Nasdaq, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those related to the price of our Common Shares. Pursuant to the requirements of Nasdaq, if the closing bid price of a company's stock falls below US$1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (the "Minimum Bid Requirement"), Nasdaq will notify the company that it is no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq listing qualifications. If a company is not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, the company will have 180 calendar days to regain compliance. On August 19, 2024, we initially received notice from Nasdaq that we were no longer in compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement (the "Initial Nasdaq Non-Compliance Notice"). On July 13, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that it has determined that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from June 26, 2025 to July 10, 2025, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock has been at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and this matter is now closed.

    We are incorporated in Canada and therefore are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.

    As we are incorporated in Canada and listed on Nasdaq, we are subject to the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. However, Nasdaq rules permit a foreign private issuer to follow the corporate governance practices of an issuer's home country. Certain corporate governance practices in Canada, which is our home country, may differ significantly from the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards for U.S. domestic issuers. We have relied on home country practices with respect to our corporate governance.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    It may not be possible for United States investors to enforce actions against us, and our directors and officers.

    We are organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, with our registered place of business in Canada, some of our directors and officers reside outside the United States and the majority of our assets and all or a substantial portion of the assets of these persons may be located outside the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for investors who reside in the United States to effect service of process in the United States upon us or upon such persons who are not residents of the United States, or to realize upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    Our directors, officers or members of management may have conflicts of interest.

    Certain directors and officers are also involved as advisors for other companies. Situations may arise in connection with potential acquisitions or opportunities where the other interests of these directors and officers conflict with or diverge from our interests. In accordance with the BCBCA (as defined below), directors who have a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract or a proposed material contract are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve the contract. In addition, the directors and the officers are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests. However, in conflict of interest situations, our directors and officers may owe the same duty to another company and will need to balance their competing interests with their duties to us. Circumstances (including with respect to future corporate opportunities) may arise that may be resolved in a manner that is unfavorable to us.

FAQ

What are ā€œRisk Factorsā€?
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 ā€œforeign private issuersā€. 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 ā€œplain Englishā€ 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.
