Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 12
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Company's common stock shares are not currently trading "electronically" through the DTCC which can limit an Investor / Shareholder's placement with brokers (if shares are acquired via "paper certificates").
As of June 1, 2020 common stock shares of Hannover House, Inc. were approved for electronic clearance and transfer through the Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC). Shareholders may still request a physical (paper) share certificate if electronic transfer is not preferred.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Our stock price may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations due to many factors, including a substantial market overhang.
The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in operating results, announcements of distribution agreements, new affiliations or new products and services by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, lack of market acceptance of our products, or other events or factors, including the risk factors described herein. In addition, the stock market in general experiences significant price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to a company's operating performance. As with any public company, we may be subject to securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of our securities which could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC and the trading volume in our securities is, to date, modest, which can make transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9, which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (i) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Investors / Shareholders may experience a dilution of ownership interest because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock and our preferred stock.
In the future, Hannover House, Inc. may issue authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. The Company is currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 980,000,000 shares (to accommodate the upcoming S1 stock offering which calls for the sale of up to 150-million shares in three stages of 50-million shares each). It is possible that some key creditors / debt holders of the Company may elect to convert their existing debts into shares in the Company. While such an action would have a beneficial impact to the Company's balance sheet, the issuance of new shares could negatively impact earnings per-share and overall value to existing shareholders. The Company may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which shares of our common stock are then quoted on the OTC or other quotation system.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5Our current corporate President, Don Frederick Shefte, has indicated that he will be retiring at some point during the first half of 2021.
Don Frederick Shefte (74) has been battling cardio-pulmonary health issues for several years, including 12-weeks of hospitalized intensive care in late 2018. Shefte has also gone through a marriage divorce in 2020 and a Feb. 8, 2021 personal bankruptcy filing. Accordingly, Mr. Shefte has expressed interest in retiring or resigning from his duties as President of the Company at some point during the first half of 2021 – subject to the timely filing of the Company's Form 10, S1 and the successful launch of the MyFlix streaming service. Although several qualified candidates have presented themselves as suitable replacements in the position as8"President," there is no assurance that a replacement President and Officer with the professional experience of Shefte will be available to the Company – certainly under Shefte's current voluntary salary waiver – unless these corporate achievements have been completed.
