Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 96
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Our Articles designate the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada and the appellate Courts therefrom as the exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our shareholders, which would limit such shareholders ability to choose the judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees.
Our Articles provide that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada and the appellate Courts therefrom, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, or other employee of the Company to the Company; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Business Corporations Act or the Articles (as either may be amended from time to time); or (iv) any action or proceeding asserting a claim otherwise related to the relationships among the Company, its affiliates and their respective shareholders, directors and/or officers, but this clause (iv) does not include claims related to the business carried on by the Company or such affiliates. The forum selection provision also provides that the Company's securityholders are deemed to have consented to personal jurisdiction in the Province of British Columbia and to service of process on their counsel in any foreign action initiated in violation of the Articles. However, since the Company is a registrant under the Exchange Act, the above provision of our Articles shall not apply to any causes of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York (or, if the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York lacks subject matter jurisdiction over a particular dispute, the state courts in New York County, New York) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint filed in the United States asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our Common Shares is deemed to have received notice of and consented to the foregoing provisions. Although we believe this choice of forum provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of British Columbia law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, and U.S. federal securities law as interpreted by the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York or the state courts in New York County, New York with respect to any complaint filed in the United States asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, the provision of which may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against us and our directors and officers, including but not limited to increased costs to bring a claim and that these provisions can discourage claims or limit investors' ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they may find favorable. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies' Articles or similar governing documents has been challenged in legal proceedings and it is possible that in connection with any action a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in our Articles to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action. If a court were to find this choice of forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Our stock price has been volatile, and the issuance of shares upon the exercise of Series A warrants has resulted in significant dilution. Additional issuances under our current financing arrangements with Streeterville or other new issuances could further depress the market price of our common shares.
Following the closing of the underwritten public offering conducted in March 2025 (the "March Offering"), investors began exercising their Series A warrants on an alternate cashless basis, resulting in the issuance of 18,347,300 (pre-reverse split - 2,293,412,544) common shares by the Company. As of September 29, 2025, 19 Series A warrants (pre-reverse split – 2,352 Series A warrants) remain outstanding, which may result in the issuance of up to 19 additional common shares (pre-reverse split – 2,352 additional common shares) having an exercise price of $24.38 per Common Share (pre-reverse split - $0.195). In connection with the March Offering, the floor price under the promissory note issued by the Company to Streeterville in June 2024 (the "June 2024 Note") was adjusted to $0.0251, however, as a result of the reverse stock split on July 3, 2025, the adjusted floor price is $3.1375. The floor price has been further adjusted to $0.10 as a result of securities issued under our ongoing Tier II Regulation A offering (the "Regulation A Offering"). As of September 29, 2025, the outstanding principal amount was partially repaid and reduced to $4,491,700, with an additional $769,832 in accrued unpaid interest, which may result in an issuance of 52,615,320 common shares, assuming a conversion price equal to $0.10 upon the first closing of any common shares sold under the Regulation A Offering. Additionally, as of September 29, 2025, the outstanding principal balance under the Company's securities purchase agreement dated December 20, 2024 with Streeterville (the "December 2024 SPA") was $3,158,000, with an additional $199,183 in accrued unpaid interest. Streeterville may make purchases of common shares in satisfaction of outstanding pre-paid purchases pursuant to the pricing formula set forth in the December 2024 SPA. If the Company receives additional funding under the total $10,000,000 commitment or if Streeterville elects to purchase common shares in satisfaction of the outstanding balance under the December 2024 SPA, further issuances of common shares may occur. In addition to these financing arrangements, the Company may issue additional common shares to settle outstanding obligations, raise capital or compensate employees and service providers. The Company is generally not restricted from issuing additional common shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common shares. Under our Articles and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA") we are authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares. Any actual or anticipated future issuances, particularly those at prices below the current market price, could significantly dilute existing shareholders, depress our share price, and impair our ability to raise capital.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Our common shares have recently been delisted from Nasdaq and are currently traded on the OTCID Basic Market, which may adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our shares and limit our ability to raise additional capital.
On May 20, 2025, our common shares were delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market and began trading on the OTC Pink Current Market maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc., where trading volume has historically been limited and may remain so. The OTC Pink Current Market became the OTCID Basic Market effective as of July 1, 2025. We are also seeking to have our shares posted for trading on the OTCQB Venture Market ("OTCQB"), though no assurance can be provided that we will be able to satisfy the criteria for trading on the OTCQB or that the staff of OTC Markets will approve the posting of the our shares for trading on the OTCQB. The delisting from Nasdaq has made trading in our common shares more difficult for investors, which may result in reduced liquidity and increased price volatility. Without a Nasdaq listing, investors may have difficulty obtaining current price quotations, and trading may be limited, sporadic, and occur at depressed prices. Additionally, the loss of a national exchange listing has negatively impacted our visibility and reputation in the capital markets, making it more challenging to attract investor interest and raise additional capital. The absence of an exchange listing may also adversely affect the valuation and acceptance of our common shares in connection with potential business combinations, strategic transactions, or future financing activities. Additionally, following the delisting and given our current stock price, our common shares are deemed "penny stock" under Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act. This designation imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers, which could further limit the liquidity and marketability of our shares and restrict the ability of investors to resell their shares in the secondary market. We are also subject to increased compliance burdens under state securities laws in connection with any sales of our securities, further limiting our access to capital markets and increasing compliance costs. While our common shares are currently quoted on the OTCID Basic Market, there can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market will develop or be sustained. Although we are in the process of applying to upgrade to the OTCQB, there is no guarantee that we will meet the eligibility requirements or that our application will be approved. If we are unable to establish and maintain a robust trading market on a market operated by OTC Markets, our ability to raise capital, continue as a going concern, and maintain investor confidence could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, failure to maintain a trading market for our common shares may trigger events of default or acceleration under our existing financing arrangements, including those with Streeterville Capital, LLC ("Streeterville"). Such defaults could result in immediate cash payment obligations, placing further strain on our liquidity and potentially jeopardizing our ability to continue operations.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Reporting company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a reporting company, these rules and regulations will increase our compliance costs and make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a reporting company, these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to maintain our director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers, and to maintain insurance at reasonable rates, or at all.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5We are eligible to be treated as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common shares less attractive to investors.
We are an "emerging growth company", as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (2) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and (3) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time or if we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more during any fiscal year before that time, in which cases we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31 or, if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during any three-year period before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company immediately. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a "smaller reporting company" which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, not being required to provide selected financial data in the registration statements and periodic reports that we file with the SEC, and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result, and if our common shares become publicly traded, such trading market may be less active than it otherwise could be if we were not to take advantage of such exemptions, and our share price may be more volatile. Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until the later of our second annual report or the first annual report required to be filed with the SEC following the date we are no longer an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act. We cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls in the future. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected to take advantage of this extended transition period, and therefore, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or publish negative reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common shares will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts or the content that they publish about us. At present, there may be few or no securities or industry analysts providing coverage of our common shares. If our financial performance fails to meet any available analyst estimates, or one or if any analysts who cover us downgrade our common shares or change their opinion of our common shares, our share price would likely decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7Our stock price is volatile and there is a limited market for our shares.
Our common shares have only recently become publicly traded. The market price of our common shares has been volatile and could continue to fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of publicly traded companies. While these fluctuations have often been unrelated to the operating results of such companies and in recent times have been exacerbated by investors' concerns stemming from geopolitical issues and changes in macroeconomic conditions, factors that may affect the volatility of our stock price include the following: - our ability to execute our business plan;- changes in our industry, including the announcement of new products, services, or technological innovations by us or our competitors;- competitive pricing pressures;- our ability to obtain working capital financing;- additions or departures of key personnel, including members of our executive leadership;- sales of our common shares;- operating results that fall below expectations;- regulatory developments;- economic and other external factors, including changes in macroeconomic conditions, including inflationary pressures;- period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results;- our inability to develop or acquire new or needed technologies or successfully integrate acquired businesses;- the public's response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including filings with the SEC;- changes in financial estimates or ratings by any securities analysts who follow our common shares, our failure to meet these estimates or failure of those analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our common shares;- the development and sustainability of an active trading market for our common shares;- any future sales of our common shares by our officers, directors and significant shareholders, or the sale or attempted sale of a large amount of our common shares, or the appearance of such sales;- terrorist attacks, natural disasters and the effects of climate change, regional and global conflicts, sanctions, laws and regulations that prohibit or limit operations in certain jurisdictions, public health crises or other such events impacting countries where we have operations; and - actual or purported "short squeeze" trading activity. Our common shares were recently delisted from Nasdaq and began trading on the OTC Pink Current Market (now the OTCID Basic Market) on May 20, 2025, where trading volumes has historically been limited. See further discussion under the risk factors "Our common shares have recently been delisted from Nasdaq and are currently traded on the OTCID Basic Market, which may adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our shares and limit our ability to raise additional capital" below. The public trading market for our common shares depends on a marketplace of willing buyers and sellers at any given time, which in turn depends on factors outside of the Company's control, including general economic and market conditions and the decisions of individual investors. As such, a holder of our common shares who wishes to sell his or her shares may not be able to do so immediately or at a price acceptable to them.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8The Company's directors and executive officers may have other business interests and obligations to other entities.
None of the Company's directors or officers will be required to manage the Company as their sole and exclusive function and they may have other business interests and may engage in other activities in addition to those relating to the Company, provided that such activities do not compete with the business of Damon or otherwise breach their agreements with the Company. The Company is dependent on its directors and officers to successfully operate Damon. Their other business interests and activities could divert time and attention from operating Damon's business. Potential conflicts of interest may arise in the course of the Company's operations involving any member of management's interest, or an affiliate company's interest, as well as their respective interests in other potential unrelated activities. While the Company does have processes and procedures in place to identify, analyze or monitor conflicts of interest, there is no assurance that such processes and procedures will identify or disclose every conflict of interest that may arise.
