Risk Change Over Time
- Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 1The pending Merger may be delayed or not occur at all for a variety of reasons, including that the Merger is terminated, and the failure to complete the Transaction could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the market price of our common stock.
On August 2, 2026, we entered into the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the completion of the Merger is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including: (i) the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Company Common Shares; (ii) the absence of any order issued by any governmental authority (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) of competent jurisdiction, or applicable law prohibiting, rendering illegal or enjoining the consummation of the Merger; (iii) the expiration or termination of any waiting periods applicable to the consummation of the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and certain other applicable antitrust and foreign direct investment laws of certain jurisdictions; (iv) each party's performance of and compliance with its covenants, obligations and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement in all material respects; (v) no Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) having occurred since the date of the Merger Agreement and (vi) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties in the Merger Agreement (subject to customary materiality qualifiers). The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, including, among others, covenants by the Company regarding the conduct of its business during the pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, public disclosures and other matters. Both the Company and Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, including, among others, (i) if the Merger is not consummated by May 2, 2027, (ii) in the case of Parent, if the Company materially breaches its covenants not to solicit alternative business combination transactions or the Company's Board of Directors effects a change of recommendation with respect to the proposed transaction or (iii) in the case of the Company, in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a "superior proposal" subject to certain requirements. In certain circumstances in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, including if the Company materially breaches its covenants not to solicit alternative business combination transactions, the Company's Board of Directors effects a change of recommendation, or the Company terminates the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a "superior proposal," the Company would be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $154 million. Failure to complete the Merger within the expected timeframe or at all could adversely affect our business and the market price of our common stock in a number of ways, including: - the market price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price reflects an assumption that the Merger will be consummated; and - we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant expenses for professional services in connection with the Merger for which we will have received little or no benefit if the Merger is not consummated.
- Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 2Efforts to complete the Merger could disrupt our relationships with third parties and employees, divert management's attention, or result in negative publicity or legal proceedings, any of which could negatively impact our operating results and ongoing business.
We have expended, and will continue to expend, significant management time and resources in an effort to complete the Merger, which may have a negative impact on our ongoing business and operations. Uncertainty regarding the outcome of the Merger and our future could disrupt our business relationships with our existing and potential customers, suppliers, service providers and other business partners, who may be more cautious in their arrangements with us or attempt to negotiate changes in existing business relationships or consider entering into business relationships with parties other than us. Our employees may have concerns with respect to the Merger and uncertainty regarding the outcome of the Merger could also adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain key personnel and other employees. Pending or future litigation against us and our directors and officers relating to the Merger may be distracting to management and, in the future, may require us to incur significant costs. Such litigation could result in the Merger being delayed and/or enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, which could prevent the Merger from being completed. The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 43
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Activist shareholders could negatively impact our business and cause disruptions.
We value constructive input from investors and regularly engage in dialogue with our shareholders regarding strategy and performance. While our Board of Directors and management team welcome their views and opinions with the goal of enhancing value for all shareholders, we may be subject to actions or proposals from activist shareholders that may not align with our business strategies or the best interests of all of our shareholders. In the event of such shareholder activism - particularly with respect to matters which our board of directors, in exercising their fiduciary duties, disagree with or have determined not to pursue - our business could be adversely affected because responding to such actions by activist shareholders can be costly and time-consuming, disruptive to our operations and divert the attention of management, our Board of Directors and our employees, and our ability to execute our strategic plan could also be impaired as a result. Such an activist campaign could require us to incur substantial legal, public relations and other advisory fees and proxy solicitation expenses. Further, we may become subject to, or we may initiate, litigation as a result of proposals by activist shareholders or matters relating thereto, which could be a further distraction to our board of directors and management and could require us to incur significant additional costs. In addition, perceived uncertainties as to our future direction, strategy, or leadership created as a consequence of activist shareholders may result in the loss of potential business opportunities, harm our ability to attract new or retain existing investors, customers, directors, employees, collaborators or other partners, disrupt relationships with us, and the market price of our ordinary shares could also experience periods of increased volatility as a result.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2We cannot guarantee that we will repurchase our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program or that our share repurchase program will enhance long-term stockholder value. Share repurchases could also increase the volatility of the price of our common stock and could diminish our cash reserves.
On November 4, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a share repurchase program with no expiration date, under which we are authorized to repurchase shares of common stock for up to $200 million on the open market, in privately-negotiated purchases, including accelerated share repurchases, or otherwise. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $150 million remained available under the program. Although the Board of Directors has authorized the share repurchase program, the share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares. The timing and amount of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, the trading price of our common stock and the nature of other investment opportunities. Our ability to repurchase shares of stock may be limited by restrictive covenants in our debt agreements and in the indentures governing the 2028 Convertible Notes and 2030 Convertible Notes. The repurchase program may be limited, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Repurchases of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program could affect our stock price and increase its volatility. Additionally, our share repurchase program could diminish our cash reserves, which may impact our ability to finance future growth and to pursue possible future strategic opportunities and acquisitions. Although our share repurchase program is intended to enhance long-term stockholder value, there is no assurance that it will do so. On February 19, 2026, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement ("ASR Agreement") to repurchase approximately $50 million of our common stock under our previously authorized share repurchase program. The ultimate number of shares repurchased will be based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the repurchase period under the ASR Agreement, less a discount and subject to adjustments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreement. After giving effect to the ASR Agreement, we will have approximately $100 million of capacity remaining under our share repurchase program.
