Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 54
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The Company's shares of common stock are quoted on the OTC Marketplace, which limits the liquidity and price of the Company's common stock.
The Company's shares of Common Stock are traded on the OTC Marketplace under the symbol "DGWR." Quotation of the Company's securities on the OTC Marketplace limits the liquidity and price of the Company's Common Stock more than if the Company's shares of Common Stock were listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or a national exchange.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Issuances of shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock following this offering, as well as the exercise of options and warrants outstanding, will dilute your ownership interests and may adversely affect the future market price of our common stock.
The issuance of additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock could be dilutive to stockholders if they do not invest in future offerings. We may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public offerings in the future.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3You may be diluted by conversions of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, convertible notes and exercises of outstanding options and warrants.
As of December 31, 2023, we had (i) four outstanding convertible notes with a total principal amount of $659,288 which is convertible into an indeterminate number of shares of common stock, and (ii) 52,000 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into an undetermined number of shares of our common stock. Please see NOTE H – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE and NOTE I - CAPITAL STOCK for further information. The exercise of such options and warrants, conversion of the third-party notes and conversion of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will result in further dilution of your investment. In addition, you may experience additional dilution if we issue common stock in the future. As a result of this dilution, you may receive significantly less in net tangible book value than the full purchase price you paid for the shares in the event of liquidation.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Following a reverse stock split, the resulting market price of our common stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve.
Although we believe that a higher market price of our common stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, we cannot assure you that a reverse stock split will result in a share price that will attract new investors.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5A reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our common stock.
The liquidity of the shares of our common stock may be affected adversely by a reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following a reverse stock split, especially if the market price of our common stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6Because we can issue additional shares of common stock, purchasers of our common stock may incur immediate dilution and experience further dilution.
We are authorized to issue up to 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 8,814,613 and 1,264,145 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Our Board of Directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, without consent of any of our stockholders. Consequently, the stockholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of our stock in the future.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7Our shares are subject to the U.S. "Penny Stock" Rules and investors who purchase our shares may have difficulty re-selling their shares as the liquidity of the market for our shares may be adversely affected by the impact of the "Penny Stock" Rules.
Our stock is subject to U.S. "Penny Stock" rules, which may make the stock more difficult to trade on the open market. Our common shares are not currently traded on the OTCQB market, but it is the Company's plan that the common shares be quoted on the OTCQB market. A "penny stock" is generally defined by regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as an equity security with a market price of less than US$5.00 per share. However, an equity security with a market price under US $5.00 will not be considered a penny stock if it fits within any of the following exceptions: (i) the equity security is listed on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange; (ii) the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for less than three years, and either has (a) net tangible assets of at least US $5,000,000, or (b) average annual revenue of at least US $6,000,000; or (iii) the issuer of the equity security has been in continuous operation for more than three years and has net tangible assets of at least US $2,000,000. Our common stock does not currently fit into any of the above exceptions. If an investor buys or sells a penny stock, SEC regulations require that the investor receive, prior to the transaction, a disclosure explaining the penny stock market and associated risks. Furthermore, trading in our common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, which relates to non-NASDAQ and non-exchange listed securities. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. Securities are exempt from this rule if their market price is at least $5.00 per share. Since our common stock is currently deemed penny stock regulations, it may tend to reduce market liquidity of our common stock, because they limit the broker/dealers' ability to trade, and a purchaser's ability to sell, the stock in the secondary market. The low price of our common stock has a negative effect on the amount and percentage of transaction costs paid by individual shareholders. The low price of our common stock also limits our ability to raise additional capital by issuing additional shares. There are several reasons for these effects. First, the internal policies of certain institutional investors prohibit the purchase of low-priced stocks. Second, many brokerage houses do not permit low-priced stocks to be used as collateral for margin accounts or to be purchased on margin. Third, some brokerage house policies and practices tend to discourage individual brokers from dealing in low-priced stocks. Finally, broker's commissions on low-priced stocks usually represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stocks. As a result, the Company's shareholders may pay transaction costs that are a higher percentage of their total share value than if our share price were substantially higher.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8Because directors and officers currently and for the foreseeable future will continue to control Green Deep Waste, it is not likely that you will be able to elect directors or have any say in the policies of the Company.
Our shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Consequently, the election of directors and all other matters requiring shareholder approval will be decided by majority vote. The directors, officers and affiliates of Deep Green Waste beneficially own approximately 99.8% of our outstanding common stock either through direct ownership or through another class of capital stock that may be convertible into shares of our common stock. Due to such significant ownership position held by our insiders, new investors may not be able to effect a change in our business or management, and therefore, shareholders would have no recourse as a result of decisions made by management. Our Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Director, Bill Edmonds, owns all 52,000 issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, which has voting rights equal to 20,000 votes for each share of Series B held. As of the date of this filing, Mr. Edmonds would have voting rights equal to 1,042,183,699 shares (1,040,000,000 voting shares through the Series B Preferred Stock and 2,183,699 shares of common stock held) or approximately 99.4 % of the shares available to vote for a matter brought before shareholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9We are classified as a "smaller reporting company" and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are a "smaller reporting company." Specifically, "smaller reporting companies" are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10The Company May Issue Shares of Preferred Stock with Greater Rights than Common Stock.
The Company's charter authorizes the Board of Directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock and set the terms of the preferred stock without seeking any further approval from holders of the Company's common stock. Any preferred stock that is issued may rank ahead of the Company's common stock in terms of dividends, priority and liquidation premiums and may have greater voting rights than the Company's common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11Existing stockholders will experience significant dilution from our sale of shares under potential Securities Purchase Agreements.
The sale of shares pursuant to any Securities Purchase Agreements executed by the Company in the future will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly, as we sell shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In addition, for any particular advance, we will need to issue a greater number of shares of common stock under the Securities Purchase Agreement as our stock price declines. If our stock price is lower, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 12The market price for our common stock may be particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company, with a limited operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.
Our stock price may be particularly volatile when compared to the shares of larger, more established companies that trade on a national securities exchange and have large public floats. The volatility in our share price will be attributable to a number of factors. First, our common stock will be compared to the shares of such larger, more established companies, sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this limited liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could decline precipitously in the event that a large number of shares of our common stock are sold on the market without commensurate demand. Second, we are a speculative or "risky" investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that trades on a national securities exchange and has a large public float. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock will be at any time. Moreover, the OTCQB market is not a liquid market in contrast to the major stock exchanges. We cannot assure you as to the liquidity or the future market prices of our common stock if a market does develop. If an active market for our common stock does not develop, the fair market value of our common stock could be materially adversely affected.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 13The Shares are an illiquid investment and transferability of the Shares is subject to significant restriction.
There are substantial restrictions on the transfer of the Shares. Therefore, the purchase of the Shares must be considered a long-term investment acceptable only for prospective investors who are willing and can afford to accept and bear the substantial risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time. There is not a public market for the resale of the Shares. A prospective investor, therefore, may not be able to liquidate its investment, even in the event of an emergency, and Shares may not be acceptable as collateral for a loan.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 14Authorization of preferred stock.
Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. As of December 31, 2023, we have authorized and issued 52,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Please see NOTE I - CAPITAL STOCK for further information.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 15If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB market which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities in the secondary market.
Companies trading on the OTCQB market of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCQB market. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, we may be unable to get relisted on the OTCQB market, which may have an adverse material effect on the Company.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 16The Company has limited financial resources. Our auditors have expressed in the report of independent registered public accounting firm that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The report of our independent registered accounting firm expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern based on the absence of significant revenues, our significant losses from operations and our need for additional financing to fund all of our operations. It is not possible at this time for us to predict with assurance the potential success of our business. The revenue and income potential of our proposed business and operations are unknown. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, we may be unable to continue our operations and you may lose some or all of your investment in our common stock.
