  • Debt & Financing - Risk 1
    Our debt service requirements are significant, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our substantial debt.

    The outstanding principal amount of our 2025 Notes at September 30, 2024 was $106.8 million. The 2025 Convertible Notes have a maturity date of May 1, 2025. As disclosed elsewhere in this Report, subsequent to September 30, 2024 we completed the additional exchanges of $91.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes for, among other things, approximately $40.9 million in principal amount of New Senior Secured Notes. In addition, we incurred $19.5 million in principal amount of indebtedness, $6.0 million of which was outstanding as of September 30, 2024, pursuant to the Short-Term Loan, which matures on November 30, 2024. The Company's intention is to repay the Short-Term Loan using proceeds from the sale of the Telematics Business or to refinance the Short-Term Loan, however, there can be no assurance that the sale of the Telematics Business will be consummated or that any required or desired restructuring or financing will be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all. Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to refinance our indebtedness, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and other fixed charges, fund working capital needs and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, refinancing or restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or dilutive. Our ability to refinance or restructure our indebtedness will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on favorable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. Any default under such indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

  • Debt & Financing - Risk 2
    We are required to comply with certain financial and other covenants under the terms of our New Senior Secured Notes and our Short-Term Loan Agreement and, if we fail to meet those covenants or otherwise suffer a default thereunder, our lenders may accelerate the payment of such obligations.

    The Indenture that sets forth the terms of the New Senior Secured Notes (the "New Notes Indenture") contains covenants which put certain restrictions on our ability to incur liens, sell or transfer assets, incur other indebtedness, pay dividends, make investments, enter into transactions with affiliates, make other distributions or payments on account of any redemption, retirement or purchase of any capital stock or pay certain other indebtedness. In addition, the Loan and Security Agreement entered into in connection with the establishment of the Short-Term Loan (the "Short-Term Loan Agreement") contains various covenants, restrictions and events of default. Among other things, these provisions require us to maintain a certain level of consolidated liquidity and impose certain limits on our ability to engage in certain activities. The restrictions in the New Notes Indenture and the Short-Term Loan Agreement impose operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to compete effectively, take advantage of new business opportunities or take other actions that may be in our, or our shareholders', best interests. Further, various risks and uncertainties may impact our ability to comply with our obligations under the New Notes Indenture and/or the Short-Term Loan Agreement. Our obligations under the New Senior Secured Notes and the Short-Term Loan Agreement are secured by a continuing security interest in all property (other than certain excluded collateral) of the Company and each of the borrower parties. Our inability to comply with any of the provisions of the New Notes Indenture and/or the Short-Term Loan Agreement could result in a default under the applicable agreement. If such a default under the New Notes Indenture and/or the Short-Term Loan Agreement occurs, the lenders may elect to demand payment in full of all or any portion of our obligations under the New Senior Secured Notes and/or the Short-Term Loan Agreement and, among other remedies, foreclose on our assets. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

  • Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 3
    The announcement and pendency of the Telematics Sale, whether or not consummated, may adversely affect our business.

    The announcement and pendency of the Telematics Sale, whether or not consummated, may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, our business or our relationships with customers, distributors, suppliers, and employees. In addition, pending the completion of the Telematics Sale, we may be unable to attract and retain key personnel and the focus and attention of our management and employee resources may be diverted from operational matters.

  • Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 4
    We cannot be sure if or when the Telematics Sale will be completed.

    The consummation of the Telematics Sale is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions, including, among others more fully described in the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser finalizing financing arrangements to fund the purchase price. We cannot guarantee that the closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement will be satisfied. If we are unable to satisfy the closing conditions in the Purchaser's favor or if other mutual closing conditions are not satisfied, the Purchaser will not be obligated to complete the Telematics Sale. In the event that the Telematics Sale is not completed, the announcement of the termination of the Purchase Agreement may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, our business and operations or our relationships with customers, distributors, suppliers, and employees. In addition, if the Telematics Sale is not completed, our board of directors, in discharging its fiduciary obligations to our stockholders, may evaluate other strategic alternatives that may be available, which alternatives may not be as favorable to us as the Telematics Sale.

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.
