    The determination of the amount of expected credit losses (ECL) taken on our investments involves the estimation of uncertainties which, if they turn out to be incorrect, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

    We perform an ECL assessment for our investments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECL for an investment contract is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the investment contract and all the cash flows that we expect to receive with respect to such contract, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The assessment of ECL is sensitive to changes in underlying circumstances, the applicable interest rate environment and the existing economic conditions outlook. Assessing the accuracy of the level of ECL recorded in our financial statements is inherently uncertain given the subjective nature of the process which may result in additional ECL being taken in the future with respect to events that may impact specific investments.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights13 | 16.9%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The price of our common shares may be volatile.

    The price of our common shares may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our semi-annual and annual results and those of other public companies in the insurance and reinsurance industry;- mergers and strategic alliances in the insurance and reinsurance industry;- market prices and conditions in the insurance and reinsurance industry;- changes in government regulation applicable us and our subsidiaries and the industry in which we operate;- potential or actual military conflicts, acts of terrorism or the effects of global pandemics such as the novel coronavirus;- the failure of securities analysts to publish research about the Company, or shortfalls in our operating results compared to levels forecast by securities analysts;- announcements concerning us or our competitors; and - the general state of the securities markets. These market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    A market for our securities may not be sustained, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.

    Although our securities are listed on Nasdaq, there can be no assurances that an active trading market for our securities will be sustained. In addition, the price of our securities could fluctuate significantly for various reasons, many of which are outside our control, such as large purchases or sales of the common shares, legislative changes and general economic, political or regulatory conditions. The release of our financial results may also cause our share price to vary. If an active market for our securities does not develop, it may be difficult for you to sell our common shares you own or purchase without depressing the market price for the shares or to sell the shares at all. The existence of an active trading market for our securities will depend to a significant extent on our ability to continue to meet the Nasdaq listing requirements, which we may be unable to accomplish.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The issue of additional shares in the Company in connection with future acquisitions or pursuant to share incentive plans or otherwise may dilute all other shareholdings.

    We may seek to raise financing to fund future acquisitions and other growth opportunities. We may, for these and other purposes, such as in connection with share incentive plans, issue additional equity or convertible equity securities that could dilute your ownership in the Company and may include terms that give new investors rights that are superior to yours. Any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our common shares and in any event may have a dilutive impact on your ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our common shares to decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Sales of a substantial number of our securities in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

    As of December 31, 2023, Wasef Jabsheh and Ominvest beneficially owned approximately 31.2% and 20.8% of our common shares, respectively. All of these shares and all of our common shares received by the former IGI Dubai shareholders in the Business Combination have been registered for resale on a registration statement on Form F-3 and are available for resale in the public market. Sales of a significant number of our common shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could reduce the market price of our common shares. In addition, our affiliates and the former IGI Dubai shareholders who received restricted securities in the Business Combination may sell our common shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which became available to the Company, as a former shell company, on March 23, 2021 (one year after our filing with the SEC of a Shell Company Report on Form 20-F containing Form 10 type information reflecting the Business Combination). In these cases, the resales must meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of Rule 144. So long as our registration statement on Form F-3 remains effective or upon satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or another applicable exemption from registration, the former IGI Dubai shareholders may sell large amounts of our common shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in our share price or putting significant downward pressure on the price of our securities.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    The grant and future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

    Pursuant to the registration rights agreement among Tiberius, the Sponsor and officers and directors of Tiberius, that was assumed by the Company in connection with the Business Combination, and the registration rights agreement among the Company, the Sponsor in its capacity as the Purchaser Representative, and certain former shareholders of IGI Dubai entered into at the closing of the Business Combination, we were required to file a resale registration statement shortly after Closing which registered for resale our common shares held by the Sponsor, the former officers and directors of Tiberius and former shareholders of IGI Dubai. In addition, the Sponsor, the former officers and directors of Tiberius and certain former shareholders of IGI Dubai can demand that the Company register their registrable securities under certain circumstances and also have piggyback registration rights for their securities in connection with certain registrations of securities that we undertake. We were also required to file and maintain an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering securities issued at Closing to investors pursuant to forward purchase contracts and securities issued at Closing to the PIPE Investors. The Company has an effective registration statement on Form F-3 filed with the SEC, which satisfies these requirements. The registration of these securities pursuant to the registration statement or any future registration statement that the Company may file will permit the public resale of such securities, subject to any contractual lock-up restrictions. The registration and availability of such a significant number of securities for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Former IGI Dubai shareholders will continue to exert significant influence over the Company as a result of their shareholdings, and their interests may not be aligned with those of the other shareholders.

    As of December 31, 2023, former IGI Dubai shareholders beneficially owned more than 52% of our issued and outstanding common shares. The former IGI Dubai shareholders will continue to be able to exercise a significant degree of influence over the outcome of certain matters requiring an ordinary resolution of our shareholders including: - the appointment and removal of directors;- a change of control in the Company, which could deprive shareholders of an opportunity to earn a premium for the sale of their shares over the then prevailing market price;- substantial mergers or other business combinations;- the acquisition or disposal of substantial assets;- the alteration of our share capital;- amendments to our organizational documents; and - the winding up of the Company. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2023, Wasef Jabsheh, who was IGI Dubai's Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman and is currently our Executive Chairman, was our largest single shareholder and beneficially owned approximately 31.2% of our issued and outstanding common shares. Another former IGI Dubai shareholder, Oman International Development & Investment Company SAOG ("Ominvest"), beneficially owned approximately 20.8% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of December 31, 2023. Beneficial ownership is calculated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Although there are corporate governance controls in place to mitigate conflicts of interest of members of senior management and major shareholders vis-à-vis the Company and minority shareholders, the former IGI Dubai shareholders may make decisions in respect of the business that do not serve the interests of the Company or the minority shareholders. Among other consequences, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might therefore negatively affect the market price of our common shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    We are an "emerging growth company" and, as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, our common shares may be less attractive to investors.

    We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act and we intend to take advantage of some of the exemptions from reporting requirements that are available to emerging growth companies, including: - not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting;- reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports and registration statements; and - not being required to hold a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive because we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for common shares and our share price may be more volatile. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the Closing (i.e. 2025), (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. After we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, if we are not an accelerated filer (which requires a market capitalization of at least $75 million) or a large accelerated filer (which requires a market capitalization of at least $700 million) we would continue to be exempt from the auditor attestation requirement for the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    Provisions in our memorandum of association and our Amended and Restated Bye-laws may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our securities and could entrench management.

    Our Amended and Restated Bye-laws contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that our shareholders may consider to be in their best interests. Among other provisions, the staggered board of directors and Wasef Jabsheh's director appointment rights may make it more difficult for our shareholders to remove incumbent management and accordingly discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities. For so long as Wasef Jabsheh, together with his family and/or affiliates, own at least 10% of our issued and outstanding common shares, Wasef Jabsheh will be entitled to appoint two directors to our board of directors. For so long as Wasef Jabsheh, together with his family and/or affiliates, own at least 5% of our issued and outstanding common shares, Wasef Jabsheh will be entitled to appoint one director to our board of directors. Other anti-takeover provisions in our Amended and Restated Bye-laws include the ability of our board of directors to issue preference shares with preferences and voting rights determined by the board of directors without shareholder approval, the indemnification of our officers and directors, the requirement that directors may only be removed from our board of directors for cause, the provision that shareholders may take specified action by written consent only if such action is by unanimous written consent, the requirement for the affirmative vote of 66% of the directors then in office and holders of at least 66% of the voting shares to amend specified provisions in our Amended and Restated Bye-laws and the requirement that a business combination with a 15% shareholder must be approved by an affirmative vote of 66% of the voting shares owned by non-interested shareholders and our board of directors. These provisions could also make it difficult for our shareholders to take certain actions and limit the price investors might be willing to pay for our securities.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9
    Nasdaq may delist our securities, which could limit investors' ability to engage in transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

    In order to list common shares and warrants, we were required to meet the Nasdaq initial listing requirements, including the requirement to have at least 300 round lot holders of our common shares, at least 50% of which must hold at least $2,500 of securities. Although we were able to meet those initial listing requirements, we may be unable to maintain the listing of our securities or comply with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements in the future. If Nasdaq subsequently delists our securities, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: - a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;- significantly reduced liquidity in the market for our common shares, which would make it more difficult for our shareholders to buy or sell our common shares, particularly in lesser volumes;- a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for the Company; and - a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future or utilize common shares as consideration in potential future acquisitions or joint ventures. In addition, the permission of the BMA is required, under the provisions of the Exchange Control Act, for all issuances and transfers of shares (which includes our common shares) of Bermuda companies to or from a non-resident of Bermuda for exchange control purposes, other than in cases where the BMA has granted a general permission. The BMA, in its notice to the public dated June 1, 2005, granted a general permission for the issue and subsequent transfer of any securities of a Bermuda company from and/or to a non-resident of Bermuda for exchange control purposes for so long as any "Equity Securities" of the company (which would include our common shares) are listed on an "Appointed Stock Exchange" (which would include Nasdaq). In granting the general permission the BMA accepts no responsibility for our financial soundness or the correctness of any of the statements made or opinions expressed in this annual report. If our common shares are delisted from Nasdaq and not otherwise listed on an Appointed Stock Exchange, the issue and transfer of our equity securities (which would include our common shares) would be subject to the prior approval of the BMA, unless the BMA has granted a general permission in respect of any such issue or transfer.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10
    U.S. persons who own our securities may have more difficulty in protecting their interests than U.S. persons who are shareholders of a U.S. corporation.

    The Companies Act, which applies to the Company, differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders. These differences include, but are not limited to, the manner in which directors must disclose transactions in which they have an interest, the rights of shareholders to bring class action and derivative lawsuits, the scope of indemnification available to directors and officers and provisions relating to amalgamations, mergers and acquisitions and takeovers. Holders of our common shares may therefore have more difficulty protecting their interests than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction within the U.S. Generally, the duties of directors and officers of a Bermuda company are owed to the company and not, in the absence of special circumstances, to the shareholders as individuals. Shareholders of Bermuda companies typically do not have rights to take action against directors or officers of the company and may only do so in limited circumstances. Class actions and derivative actions are typically not available to shareholders under Bermuda law. The Bermuda courts, however, would ordinarily be expected to permit a shareholder to commence an action in the name of a company to remedy a wrong to the company where the act complained of is alleged to be beyond the corporate power of the company or illegal, or would result in the violation of the company's memorandum of association or bye-laws. Our Amended and Restated Bye-laws state that all disputes arising out of the Companies Act or out of or in connection with the Amended and Restated Bye-laws are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Bermuda. This would make it more difficult to make certain claims against the Company or its directors or officers in jurisdictions outside of Bermuda, including the U.S. Additionally, our Amended and Restated Bye-laws contain a waiver by the Company's shareholders of any claim or right of action, both individually and on the Company's behalf, against any of the Company's directors or officers. The waiver applies to any action taken by an officer or director, or the failure of an officer or director to take any action, in the performance of his or her duties, except with respect to any matter involving any fraud or dishonesty on the part of the officer or director. This waiver limits the right of shareholders to assert claims against the Company's officers and directors unless the act or failure to act involves fraud or dishonesty.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11
    Our Amended and Restated Bye-laws designate the Supreme Court of Bermuda, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as the exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our shareholders, which could limit our shareholders' ability to bring certain actions or proceedings in a forum of their choosing.

    Our Amended and Restated Bye-laws provide that the Supreme Court of Bermuda will be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the exclusive forum for any dispute that arises concerning the Companies Act or out of or in connection with our Amended and Restated Bye-laws, including any question regarding the existence and scope of any bye-law and/or whether there has been any breach of the Companies Act or the bye-laws by an officer or director (whether or not such a claim is brought in the name of a shareholder or in the name of the Company). To the fullest extent permitted by law, the forum selection bye-law discussed above will apply to derivative actions or proceedings brought on behalf of the Company and arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or the Exchange Act, although we have been advised by the SEC that in the opinion of the SEC, our shareholders cannot waive compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision in connection with any such derivative action or proceeding arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and it is possible that a court could find the forum selection bye-law to be inapplicable or unenforceable. This forum selection bye-law could limit the ability of our shareholders to bring certain actions or proceedings involving disputes with us or our directors, officers and other employees in a forum of our shareholders' choosing. If a court were to find the forum selection bye-law inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 12
    We may issue additional common shares or other equity securities without shareholder approval, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of our common shares.

    We may issue additional common shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank in the future in connection with, among other things, future acquisitions, without shareholder approval, in a number of circumstances. Our issuance of additional common shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank would have the following effects: - our existing shareholders' proportionate ownership interest in the Company will decrease;- the amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease;- the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding common share may be diminished; and - the market price of our common shares may decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 13
    Our operating results may be adversely affected by the failure of policyholders, brokers or other intermediaries to honor their payment obligations.

    In accordance with industry practice, we generally pay amounts owed on claims under our insurance and reinsurance contracts to brokers and these brokers, in turn, pay these amounts to the clients that purchased insurance and reinsurance from us. In some jurisdictions where we write a significant amount of business, depending on whether the broker is our agent or the client's agent, if a broker fails to make such a payment it is highly likely that we will be liable to the client for the deficiency because of local laws or contractual obligations. Likewise, when the client pays premiums for policies to brokers for payment to us, these premiums are generally considered to have been paid and, in most cases, the client will no longer be liable to us for those amounts whether or not we have actually received the premiums. Consequently, we assume a degree of credit risk associated with brokers with respect to most of our (re)insurance business. In addition, bankruptcy, liquidity problems, distressed financial conditions or the general effects of economic recession may increase the risk that policyholders may not pay a part of, or the full amount of, premiums owed to us despite an obligation to do so. While a majority of our policies include a premium payment warranty, it is possible that some policies may not permit us to cancel our insurance even if we have not received payment. If non-payment becomes widespread, whether as a result of bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, adverse economic conditions, operational failure, delay due to litigation, bad faith and fraud or other events, it could have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results.

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.
