  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into shares of the Company's common stock may dilute the value for the current holders of the Company's common stock. In addition, an affiliate of the Term Loan Lenders may influence future actions by the Company by virtue of Board representation and the ownership of the Series B Preferred Stock and additional common stock by the Term Loan Lenders or funds under common management with the Term Loan Lenders.

    The 1,000,000 outstanding shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 9.5238 shares of common stock per share of Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of the conversion of any issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, the Company's existing shareholders will own a smaller percentage of our outstanding common stock. Based on the capitalization of the Company as of December 31, 2025, the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock would result in the issuance to holders thereof of approximately 9% of the outstanding common stock after giving effect to such conversion. Further, additional shares of common stock may be issuable pursuant to certain other features of the Series B Preferred Stock, with such issuances being further dilutive to existing holders of common stock. If the Series B Preferred Stock is converted into common stock, holders of such converted common stock will be entitled to the same dividend and distribution rights as holders of the common stock currently authorized and outstanding. As such, another dilutive effect resulting from the conversion of any issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock will be a dilution to dividends and distributions. Holders of the Company's common stock will not realize any dilution in their ownership, dividend or distribution rights solely as a result of the reservation of any shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or for issuance of additional shares of common stock pursuant to certain other features of the Series B Preferred Stock, but will experience such dilution to the extent additional shares of common stock are issued in the future as described above. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock are currently owned by the Term Loan Lenders or funds under common management with the Term Loan Lenders. The Term Loan Lenders or funds under common management with the Term Loan Lenders also currently own approximately 3.7 million shares of our common stock. If the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock were to convert all shares of Series B Preferred Stock and hold the common stock received upon conversion, the Term Loan Lenders or funds under common management with the Term Loan Lenders would own an aggregate of 12.7% of the outstanding common stock and voting power of the Company. In addition, an affiliate of the Term Loan Lenders has the right to nominate one member for election to the Board until the date on which the Term Loan Lenders cease to hold at least $200 million of the original principal amount of the Term Loans and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock cease to own at least 50% of the Series B Preferred Stock (or the common stock into which it is converted). Through these relationships, the Term Loan Lenders may influence the composition of the Board and future actions taken by the Board.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    The holder of the recently exchanged Series C Preferred Stock may have the ability to influence future actions by the Company due to its voting power and a nominated board member.

    As a result of the Series C Preferred Stock exchange between the Company and GO EK Ventures IV, LLC (the "Investor"), the Investor now owns approximately 15.5% of the outstanding common stock and voting power of the Company's outstanding common stock. In addition, the Investor has nominated one member of the Company's Board the right to nominate one member for election to the Company's Board for so long as it holds at least 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. As a result, the Investor may influence the composition of the Board and future actions taken by the Board and shareholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The Company has registered, and has a duty to register, the resale of a large portion of our outstanding securities. The resale of the Company's common stock, or the perception that such resale may occur, may adversely affect the price of our common stock.

    In compliance with certain agreements to which the Company is a party, we have registered or have the obligation to register the resale of an aggregate of up to approximately 43.4 million shares of common stock that are either outstanding or issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock. The resale of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market, or the perception that such resale might occur, could cause the market price of the Company's common stock to decline. Under the terms of the certain agreements to which the Company is subject, certain of the counterparties to such agreements can, in certain circumstances, require the Company to participate in an underwritten public offering of the registered securities. Any shares sold in a registered resale will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. While the Company cannot predict the size of future resales or distributions of our common stock, if there is a perception that such resales or distributions could occur, or if the holders of the Company's securities registered for resale sell a large number of the registered securities, the market price for the Company's common stock could be adversely affected.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    The resale of a significant portion of the Company's securities or certain accumulations or transfers of the Company's securities could result in a change of control of the Company and the loss of favorable tax attributes.

    Holders of the Convertible Securities and holders of large blocks of the Company's common stock collectively have a significant influence over matters presented to the Company's shareholders for approval, including election of members to the Board and change of control transactions. In addition, the holders of such securities collectively would be able to cause a significant change in the ownership of the Company by selling a sufficient portion of the Company's securities held by them. If such a transaction, in combination with other transactions in securities of the Company which have already occurred or future issuances of securities by the Company, were to result in an "ownership change" as determined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, then the Company's ability to offset taxable income with tax attributes generated prior to the ownership change date could be limited, possibly substantially. Certain accumulations or transfers of the Company's outstanding securities not involving these holders, could also cause such an "ownership change." For more information on the Company's tax attributes refer to Note 18, "Income Taxes" in the Notes to Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." The interests of the holders of the Convertible Securities and holders of large blocks of the Company's common stock may not always coincide with the interests of the other holders of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    The Company's stock price has been and may continue to be volatile.

    The market price of the Company's common stock experienced extreme volatility in recent years. Future announcements or disclosures concerning the Company, our strategic initiatives, our sales and profitability, quarterly variations in actual or anticipated operating results or comparable sales, any failure to meet analysts' expectations and sales of large blocks of our common stock, among other factors, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.

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.
