Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 59
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1As of December 31, 2025, approximately 23.8 percent of our outstanding common stock was held or beneficially owned by our executive officers and directors, or by stockholders controlled by our executive officers or directors.
The concentration of ownership provides such persons with substantial control over us, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control, and future resales of our common stock held by such persons may cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly. As a result, such stockholders, acting together, have significant influence over all matters that require approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Corporate action might be taken even if other stockholders oppose them. This concentration of ownership might also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company that other stockholders may view as beneficial. To the extent that such persons purchase or are awarded additional shares, the percentage of our outstanding common stock held by them will increase, decreasing the percentage of shares that are held by other stockholders. If any significant stockholder sells large amounts of our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, this could increase volatility in the price of our common stock or put significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2The price of our common stock continues to be volatile.
The price of our common stock may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including: - the announcement of the introduction of new products or services, or enhancements thereto, by us or our competitors;- the rapid, and even accelerating, changes in technologies, methodologies and industry standards, whether due to AI or otherwise, which may result in significantly decreased demand for our services, and our ability to adapt to such changes;- evolving consumer, investor and market perceptions regarding the ubiquity and capabilities of commercial AI technologies, which may lead to significant uncertainty about the continued demand for our services and the future of our industry;- developments concerning intellectual property rights;- changes in legal, regulatory and enforcement frameworks impacting our products and services;- variations in our and our competitors' results of operations;- the hiring or departure of key personnel;- announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances;- actual or perceived cybersecurity incidents or breaches;- actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results and those of our competitors;- the failure of securities analysts to publish research about us, or shortfalls in our results of operations compared to levels forecast by securities analysts;- any delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq due to any failure to meet listing requirements;- policy changes, geopolitical instability and military actions in countries in which we operate or in which our employees are located that impact our operations or industry;- adverse developments from litigation;- our ability to effectively service any current and future outstanding debt obligations;- the general state of the securities market, including valuation adjustments and lowering multiples; and - the military action launched by Russian forces in Ukraine, the actions that have been and could be taken by other countries, including new and stricter sanctions and actions taken in response to such sanctions, and the effect of these developments on our business and results of operations. Market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Our bylaws limit the forum in which stockholders may bring a suit for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.
Our bylaws provide that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, another State court in Delaware or the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the following (subject to limited exceptions): - any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf;- any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by, or otherwise wrongdoing by, any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders;- any action arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), our certificate of incorporation or bylaws;- any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; and - any other action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. However, claims brought to enforce any liability or duty created under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act are not subject to the exclusive forum provisions set forth in our bylaws. Our bylaws also provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to the Securities Act. These exclusive forum provisions may discourage a stockholder from seeking judicial relief and limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the DGCL contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions, that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and the DGCL, contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Among other things, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions regarding: - a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, which could delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of our board of directors;- the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock, including "blank check" preferred stock, and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;- the limitation of the liability of, and the indemnification of our directors and officers;- the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;- the requirement that directors may only be removed from our board of directors for cause;- a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and could delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a stockholder proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;- the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors, or our chief executive officer, which could delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;- controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and stockholder meetings;- the requirement for the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the voting stock, voting together as a single class, to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision of our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, which could delay changes in our board of directors and also may inhibit the ability of an acquirer to affect such amendments to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt;- the ability of our board of directors to amend the bylaws, which may allow our board of directors to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend the bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and - advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders' meeting, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in our board of directors and also may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer's own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company. These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our board of directors or management. In addition, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the DGCL, which may prohibit certain stockholders holding 15% or more of our outstanding capital stock from engaging in certain business combinations with us for a specified period of time. Any provision of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.
