Share Price & Shareholder Rights3 | 8.8%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The listing of our shares of common stock on two exchanges may adversely affect liquidity in the market for our shares and result in pricing differentials between the two exchanges.

    Our shares of common stock trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and London Stock Exchange (LSE) and trading takes place in different currencies (U.S. Dollars on the NYSE and Pound Sterling on the LSE) and at different times (resulting from different time zones, different trading hours and different trading days for the two exchanges). The trading prices of our shares of common stock on these two exchanges may, at times, differ due to these and other factors. Any decrease in the price of our shares on the NYSE could cause a decrease in the trading price of our shares on the LSE and vice versa. Investors could seek to buy or sell our shares to take advantage of price differences between the markets through a practice referred to as arbitrage. Any arbitrage activity could create unexpected volatility in both the trading prices of our shares on one exchange and Company shares available for trading on the other exchange. The benefits we expect from the dual listing on the NYSE and the LSE, which are increased liquidity, visibility among investors and access to investors who may be able to hold listed shares in the United Kingdom, but not the United States, and vice versa, may not be realized or, if realized, may not be sustained. Further, the cost and additional regulatory burden associated with listing our shares on both exchanges may ultimately outweigh the associated benefits.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Issuance of Company shares in connection with the Business Combination reduced our existing stockholders' aggregate ownership and voting interest in the Company, resulting in existing stockholders now exercising less influence over management, which may adversely affect the market price of our shares.

    In connection with the payment of the Business Combination consideration, we issued approximately 117 million Company shares. Company stockholders and Dowlais shareholders own approximately 51% and 49%, respectively, of the combined company following completion of the Business Combination. The issuance of these new shares reduced our existing stockholders' ownership and voting interest in the Company and, as a result, our existing stockholders, individually and in the aggregate, can exert less influence. The issuance of these new shares may also result in fluctuations in the market price of Company shares, including a price decrease.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Certain Dowlais agreements may contain change of control provisions which, if not waived, could have material adverse effects on the combined company.

    Dowlais is a party to various agreements with third parties, customer and supplier contracts and other material contracts, that may contain change of control provisions that will be triggered upon the completion of the Business Combination. Agreements with change of control provisions typically provide for or permit the termination of the agreement upon the occurrence of a change of control of one of the parties which can be waived by the relevant counterparties. To the extent waivers are required, the inability to obtain waivers from one or more relevant counterparties could have a material adverse effect on the combined company. Further, it is possible that a contractual counterparty or government agency may take a different view on the interpretation of a change in control provision to that taken by us, thereby resulting in a dispute.

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.
