Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 31

Share Price & Shareholder Rights4 | 12.9%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants may depress our stock price.

    We could issue up to 82,463,860 shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of the Warrants, which would collectively be an approximately 64% increase from our current number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock and the resale of such shares on the open market after their issuance, or the perception that such sales could occur, could result in significant downward pressure on the price of our shares of Common Stock. Further, any increase in the number of shares underlying each Warrant may result in further downward pressure on the price of our shares of Common Stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Future issuances of additional warrants may adversely affect the market price of the Warrants and the market price of our Common Stock, but there may be no adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate for such issuances.

    Without the consent of any Warrant holder, we may issue additional warrants with the same or different terms as the Warrants. We may issue such additional warrants through a sale or other distribution to holders of our Common Stock and other holders of our securities. Any issuance, sale or distribution by us of any rights, options or warrants to purchase our Common Stock will not result in an adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate for any Warrant. The issuance, sale or distribution of substantial amounts of such additional warrants, or the perception that such issuances, sales or distributions may occur, could adversely affect the trading price of the Warrants and the market price of our Common Stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The market price for our Common Stock may be volatile and subject to future declines, and the value of an investment in our Common Stock and corresponding derivative securities may decline.

    The market price of our shares of Common Stock may be volatile. Fluctuations in our stock price may be unrelated to or not otherwise reflect our historical financial performance and condition and prospects. The stock market in general can experience considerable price and volume fluctuations due to changes in general economic conditions or other factors beyond our control, which could impact the future market price of our shares of Common Stock. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and, in turn, the value of the Warrants. We cannot assure you that the market price of our shares of Common Stock will not be volatile or decline significantly in the future.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    The trading price for the Warrants may bear little or no relationship to traditional valuation methods, or to the market price of our Common Stock, and therefore the trading price of the Warrants may fluctuate significantly following their issuance.

    The trading price of the Warrants may have little or no relationship to, and may be significantly lower, or at times higher, than the price that would otherwise be established using traditional indicators of value, such as our future prospects and those of our industry in general; future potential revenues, earnings, cash flows, and other financial and operating information, or multiples thereof; market prices of securities and other financial and operating information of companies similar to ours; and the views of research analysts. Potential investors should not buy Warrants in the open market unless they are willing to take the risk that the trading price of the Warrants could fluctuate and decline significantly.

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.
