Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 31
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Volatility in the price and volume of our stock may be unfavorable.
The market price of our common stock can be volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Some of these factors include, without limitation: - prevailing market conditions;- our financial and operating results;- estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects;- an overall assessment of our management;- changes in interest rates;- business interruptions, such as may result from natural disasters, pandemics or other events;- our performance relative to our peers;- market demand for our shares;- perceptions of the banking industry in general;- political influences on investor sentiment; and - consumer confidence. At times, the stock markets, including the Nasdaq Global Select Market, on which our common stock is listed, may experience significant price and volume fluctuations. As a result, the market price of our common stock is likely to be similarly volatile and investors in our common stock may experience a decrease in the value of their shares, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. In addition, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention and resources.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Wesbanco has outstanding securities senior to our common stock which could limit our ability to pay dividends on the common stock.
Wesbanco has outstanding Series B Preferred Stock that is senior to our common stock and could adversely affect our ability to declare or pay dividends or distributions on our common stock. The terms of the preferred stock offering prohibits us from declaring or paying dividends or making distributions on our common stock unless the full dividends for the most recently completed dividend period have been declared and paid, or set aside for payment, on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Whenever dividends on any shares of Series B Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid for the equivalent of six or more dividend payments, whether or not for consecutive dividend periods (a "Nonpayment Event"), the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a class with holders of any and all other series of voting preferred stock then outstanding would be entitled to vote for the election of a total of two additional members of our board of directors (the "Preferred Stock Directors"), provided that our board of directors shall at no time include more than two Preferred Stock Directors and that the election of any Preferred Stock Directors shall not cause us to violate the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market (or any other exchange on which our securities may be listed) including the requirements that listed companies must have a majority of independent directors. In the event that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and other holders of voting preferred stock are entitled to vote for the election of the Preferred Stock Directors following a Nonpayment Event, the number of directors on our board of directors shall automatically increase by two, and the new directors shall be elected at a special meeting called at the request of the holders of record of at least 20% of the Series B Preferred Stock or of any other series of voting preferred stock (unless such request is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual or special meeting of the shareholders, in which event such election shall be held only at such next annual or special meeting of shareholders), and at each subsequent annual meeting. These voting rights will continue until dividends on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and any such series of voting preferred stock for at least four consecutive dividend periods following the Nonpayment Event shall have been fully paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of such dividends shall have been set aside for payment).
