    Changes to LIBOR may negatively impact us.

    The London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") is the basic rate of interest used in lending between banks on the London interbank market and is widely used as a reference for setting the interest rate on loans globally. Our current credit facility provides us an option to convert some of our prime-based borrowings into short-term LIBOR contracts. LIBOR will be phased out by June 2023. In the absence of a LIBOR rate, our credit facility with Citizens Bank, N.A. provides for a successor rate, based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). As such, while we do not expect that we will have to renegotiate our credit facility, we may have to amend our credit facility to effect the change before June 2023 and we do not know whether it could result in increased interest costs. In the absence of a favorable LIBOR or successor rate, our borrowings bear interest based on the Federal Funds rate. At January 28, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under our credit facility, however, we cannot provide assurance that future interest rate charges will not have a material negative impact on our business, financial position, or operating results.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Our stock price has been and will likely continue to be volatile and fluctuate substantially.

    The market price of our common stock has been and will likely continue to fluctuate substantially as a result of many factors, some of which are beyond our control. For example, from September 8, 2021, when we relisted on the Nasdaq Global market, through March 9, 2026, the reported price of our common stock has ranged from a low of $0.49 on March 9, 2026 to a high of $8.99 on November 17, 2021. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the market price of our common stock include the following: - overall changes in the economy and general market volatility, including the effects of inflation and/or recession;- news announcements regarding our quarterly or annual results of operations;- quarterly comparable sales;- acquisitions;- announced merger;- competitive developments;- governmental regulation (such as increased wage and paid benefits laws);- litigation affecting us; or - market views as to the prospects of the Company or the retail clothing industry generally.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    We may not be able to maintain the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq.

    Our common stock currently trades on The Nasdaq Global Market. Nasdaq has continued listing standards that we must maintain to avoid delisting, including, among others, a minimum consolidated closing bid price requirement of $1.00 per share as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). On February 4, 2026, we received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company's common stock for the last 30 consecutive trading days, the Company no longer meets this requirement. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 3, 2026, in which to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In order to regain compliance, the consolidated closing bid price of the Company's common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during this period. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance within this period, the Company may be eligible to seek an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days if it (i) transfers its listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market and (ii) meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly traded shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market (other than the minimum bid price requirement) and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during this additional compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to cure the deficiency. There also remains a risk that, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the Company's common stock may be subject to delisting. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or maintain compliance with the other listing requirements. If we are unable to comply with Nasdaq's continued listing standards and our common stock is delisted, our common stock would be eligible for quotation on "over-the-counter" markets, which are generally considered less efficient than Nasdaq and other national exchanges because of lower trading volumes, transaction delays and reduced security analyst and news media coverage. Any delisting of our common stock could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, and the market price of our common stock could decrease. Furthermore, if our common stock is delisted, it could adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations and/or result in the loss of confidence by investors, customers, suppliers and employees.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, limits transfers of our common stock and may, along with state law, inhibit potential acquisition bids that could be beneficial to our stockholders.

    Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, contains provisions that restrict any person or entity from attempting to purchase our stock, without the prior approval of the Board, to the extent that such transfer would (i) create or result in an individual or entity becoming a five-percent or greater stockholder of our stock, or (ii) increase the stock ownership percentage of any existing five-percent stockholder without the prior approval of the Board. These provisions provide that any transfer that violates such provisions shall be null and void and would require the purported transferee, upon demand by us, to transfer the shares that exceed the five percent limit to an agent designated by us for the purpose of conducting a sale of such excess shares. These provisions would make the acquisition of our Company more expensive to the acquirer and could significantly delay, discourage, or prevent third parties from acquiring our Company without the prior approval of our Board. In addition, we are subject to certain provisions of Delaware law, which could delay or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us. In particular, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in certain business combinations with any interested stockholder for a period of three years unless specific conditions are met. In addition, certain provisions of Delaware law could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company, including, without limitation, discouraging a proxy contest or making more difficult the acquisition of a substantial block of our common stock. Such provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

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.
