Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 23
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The value of our common stock may be affected by matters not related to our own operating performance.
The value of our common stock may be affected by matters that are not related to our operating performance and are outside of our control. These matters include the following: - general economic conditions in the United States and globally; - industry conditions, including fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas; - governmental regulation of the oil and natural gas industry, including environmental regulation and regulation of fracture stimulation activities; - fluctuation in foreign exchange or interest rates; - liabilities inherent in oil and natural gas operations; - geological, technical, drilling and processing problems; - unanticipated operating events that can reduce production or cause production to be shut in or delayed;- failure to obtain industry partner and other third-party consents and approvals, when required; - stock market volatility and market valuations; - competition for, among other things, capital, acquisition of reserves, undeveloped land and skilled personnel; - the need to obtain required approvals from regulatory authorities; - worldwide supplies and prices of, and demand for, oil and natural gas; - political conditions and developments in each of the countries in which we operate; - political conditions in oil and natural gas producing regions; - revenue and operating results failing to meet expectations in any particular period; - investor perception of the oil and natural gas industry; - limited trading volume of our common shares; - announcements relating to our business or the business of our competitors; - the sale of assets; - our liquidity; - our ability to raise additional funds; and - the uncertain impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and the economy. In the past, some companies that have experienced volatility in the trading price of their common stock have been the subject of securities class action litigation. We might become involved in securities class action litigation in the future. Such litigation often results in substantial costs and diversion of management's attention and resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Investment in our common stock is speculative due to the nature of our business.
An investment in our common stock is speculative due to the nature of our involvement in the acquisition and exploration of oil and natural gas properties.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Our shareholders may experience dilution as a result of our issuance of additional common stock or the exercise of outstanding options and warrants.
We may enter into commitments in the future that would require the issuance of additional common stock. We may also grant additional share purchase warrants, restricted stock units or stock options. The exercise of share purchase warrants, restricted stock units or stock options and the subsequent resale of common stock in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price and our ability to raise equity capital in the future. Any stock issuances from our treasury will result in immediate dilution to existing shareholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Our stock price is volatile.
Our common stock is traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the CSE) and the OTCQB. There can be no assurance that an active public market will continue for our common stock, or that the market price for our common stock will not decline below its current price. Such price may be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to, investor perception of us and our industry and general economic and market conditions. The trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of matters and market conditions.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5Our common stock will be subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC.
Our securities will be subject to the "penny stock rules" adopted pursuant to Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply generally to companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain limited exemptions. Such rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade "penny stock" to persons other than "established customers" complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Some brokers have decided not to trade "penny stock" because of the requirements of the "penny stock rules" and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. In the event that we remain subject to the "penny stock rules" for any significant period, there may develop an adverse impact on the market, if any, for our securities. Because our securities are subject to the "penny stock rules," investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and create additional dilution to existing shareholders upon any financings.
A decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise additional capital for our operations. Because our operations to date have been principally financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could have an adverse effect upon our liquidity; and if we sell such equity securities at a lower price, such sales could cause excessive dilution to existing shareholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7We may issue additional equity securities without the consent of shareholders. The issuance of any additional equity securities would further dilute our shareholders.
Our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the shareholders, to issue a unlimited number of shares of common stock authorized under our charter documents, of which 115,250,810 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2023. We may issue additional shares of common stock or other equity securities, including securities convertible into shares of common stock, in connection with capital raising activities. The issuance of additional common stock would also result in dilution to existing shareholders.
