Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 24
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1We Have Limited Control Over Properties and Investments Operated by Others or through Joint Ventures
Certain of the properties and investments in which we have an interest are operated by other companies and may involve third-party working interest owners. We have limited influence and control over the operation or future development of such properties and investments, including compliance with EHS regulations or the amount and timing of required future capital expenditures. In addition, we conduct certain of our operations through joint ventures in which we may share control with third parties, and the other joint venture participants may have interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the joint venture or us. These limitations and our dependence on such third parties could result in unexpected future costs or liabilities and unplanned changes in operations or future development, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, any bankruptcy involving, or any misconduct or other improper activities committed by, our business partners or other counterparties could negatively impact the value of our investments, as well as our own business or reputation.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Activist Shareholders Could Cause Us to Incur Significant Expense, Hinder Execution of our Business Strategy and Impact Our Stock Price
Publicly traded companies are increasingly subject to campaigns by activist shareholders advocating corporate actions, such as operational, governance or management changes, sales of assets or entire business units or business combination transactions. Activist shareholders could seek to engage in proxy solicitations, advance shareholder proposals or otherwise attempt to assert influence on our Board of Directors and management. These actions may be prompted or exacerbated by unfavorable recommendations or ratings from proxy advisory firms or other third parties. Such actions could adversely impact our business by distracting our Board of Directors and employees from our long-term strategy, requiring us to incur increased advisory fees and related costs, interfering with our ability to successfully execute on business operations and strategic transactions or plans and provoking perceived uncertainty about the future direction of our business. Such perceived uncertainty may, in turn, make it more difficult to retain employees and could result in significant fluctuation in the market price of our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Our Ability to Declare and Pay Dividends and Repurchase Shares Is Subject to Certain Considerations
Dividends, whether fixed or variable, and share repurchases are authorized and determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion and depend upon a number of factors, including the Company's financial results, cash requirements and future prospects, as well as such other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. We can provide no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends or execute share repurchases at the current rate or at all. Any elimination of, or downward revision in, our dividend payout or share repurchase program could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
