- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Because our executive officers hold, or in the future may hold, long-term incentive awards that will vest upon a change of control, these officers may have interests in us that conflict with those of our stockholders.
Our executive officers hold, or in the future may hold, long-term incentive awards that would automatically vest upon a change of control. As a result, these officers may view certain change of control transactions more favorably than other stockholders due to the vesting opportunities available to them and, as a result, may have an economic incentive to support a transaction that may not be viewed as favorable by other stockholders

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 54
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Platinum controls us, and its interests may conflict, or be inconsistent, with ours interests or the interests of other stockholders.
Platinum controls approximately 90% of the voting power of our outstanding Common Stock, and thus holds more than a majority of the voting power of our outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. Platinum is able to control the election and removal of our directors and thereby control our policies and operations, including the appointment of management, future issuances of our Common Stock or other securities, payment of dividends, if any, on our Common Stock, the incurrence or modification of indebtedness by us, amendment of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, and the entering into of extraordinary transactions. Their interests may not in all cases be aligned with the interests of our other stockholders. This concentration of voting control could deprive stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares of Common Stock as part of a sale of our company and ultimately might affect the market price of our Common Stock. This concentration of ownership may also adversely affect our share price. Moreover, in accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of October 23, 2024 by and between the Company and Imola JV Holdings, L.P. (the "Investor Rights Agreement"), Platinum has the right to nominate for election to our board of directors a number of individuals designated by Platinum constituting a majority thereof, for so long as it beneficially owns at least 50% of the voting power of all shares of our outstanding stock entitled to vote generally in the election of our directors. Even if Platinum ceases to own shares of our stock representing a majority of the total voting power, for so long as Platinum continues to own a significant percentage of our stock, it will still be able to significantly influence or effectively control the composition of our board of directors and the approval of actions requiring stockholder approval through its voting power. Accordingly, for such period of time, Platinum will have significant influence with respect to our management, business plans, and policies, including the appointment and removal of our officers. Platinum is in the business of making investments in companies and may from time to time acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us or whose interests are otherwise not aligned with ours. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that neither Platinum nor any of its affiliates or any director who is not employed by us or his or her affiliates has any duty to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same business activities or similar business activities or lines of business in which we operate. Platinum and its affiliates also may pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2We are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the NYSE rules and, as a result, we qualify for, and rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. Our stockholders do not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of other companies that are subject to such requirements.
Because Platinum continues to hold more than a majority of the voting power of our outstanding Common Stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, we are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the NYSE and have elected, in accordance with applicable NYSE exemptions, not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. For example, we do not have a majority of independent directors, our compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees are not composed entirely of independent directors, and we are not required to perform annual performance evaluations with respect to such committees. The independence standards are intended to ensure that directors who meet those standards are free of any conflicting interest that could influence their actions as directors. Accordingly, our stockholders do not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE. If we cease to be a "controlled company," we will be required to comply with the above referenced requirements within one year.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents could delay or prevent a change of control.
Certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a merger, acquisition, tender offer, takeover attempt or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders. Among other things, these provisions: - grant Platinum the right to nominate for election to our board of directors no fewer than that number of directors that would constitute: (a) a majority of the total number of directors so long as the Platinum Stockholder and Platinum collectively beneficially own at least 50% of the then-outstanding capital stock of the Company; (b) 40% of the total number of directors so long as the Platinum Stockholder and Platinum collectively beneficially own at least 40% but less than 50% of the then-outstanding capital stock of the Company; (c) 30% of the total number of directors so long as the Platinum Stockholder and Platinum collectively beneficially own at least 30% but less than 40% of the then-outstanding capital stock of the Company; (d) 20% of the total number of directors so long as the Platinum Stockholder and Platinum collectively beneficially own at least 20% but less than 30% of the then-outstanding capital stock of the Company; and (e) 10% of the total number of directors so long as the Platinum Stockholder and Platinum collectively beneficially own at least 5% but less than 20% of the then-outstanding capital stock of the Company;- permit our board of directors to establish the number of directors and fill vacancies and newly created directorships, subject to the rights granted to Platinum pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the Investor Rights Agreement;- establish a classified board of directors, as a result of which our board of directors is divided into three classes, with each class serving for staggered three-year terms;- provide for the removal of directors only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 and 2/3% of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors if Platinum and its affiliates cease to beneficially own at least 50% of shares of Common Stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;- provide that at all meetings of our board of directors prior to the date when Platinum ceases to beneficially own at least 30% of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, a quorum for the transaction of business shall include at least one director nominated by Platinum;- provide for the ability of our board of directors to issue one or more series of preferred stock, including "blank check" preferred stock;- designate Delaware as the sole forum for certain litigation against us;- provide for advance notice requirements for nominations of directors by stockholders and for stockholders to include matters to be considered at our annual stockholder meetings;- provide certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings in the event Platinum beneficially owns less than 50% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;- prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors;- provide that actions by our stockholders be taken only at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders, and not by written consent, in the event Platinum beneficially owns less than 50% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;- provide (i) that the board of directors is expressly authorized to alter or repeal our amended and restated bylaws and (ii) that our stockholders may only amend our amended and restated bylaws with the approval of 66 and 2/3% or more of all of the outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote, in the event Platinum beneficially owns less than 50% of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; and - provide that certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may be amended only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 and 2/3% in voting power of the outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote, in the event Platinum beneficially owns less than 50% of the total voting power of all then-outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; provided, however, that any such alteration or amendment which would adversely affect the rights of Platinum shall require the prior written consent of Platinum. Any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring 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. In addition, our stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Our stock price may change significantly, and stockholders may not be able to resell shares of our Common Stock at or above the price paid or at all or could lose all or part of their investment as a result.
The price of our Common Stock has been and may continue to be volatile due to a number of factors such as those listed in "-Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry" and the following: - results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;- results of operations that vary from those of our competitors compared to market expectations;- changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates and investment recommendations by securities analysts and investors;- changes in market valuations of, or earnings and other announcements by, companies in our industry;- declines in the market prices of stocks generally, particularly those of IT companies;- departures of key management personnel or members of our board of directors;- strategic actions by us or our competitors;- announcements by us, our competitors or our vendors of significant contracts, price reductions, new products or technologies, acquisitions, joint marketing relationships, joint ventures, other strategic relationships or capital commitments;- changes in preference of our customers;- changes in general economic or market conditions or trends in our industry or the economy as a whole and, in particular, in the consumer spending environment;- changes in business or regulatory conditions which adversely affect our industry or us;- future issuances, exchanges or sales, or expected issuances, exchanges or sales of our Common Stock or other securities;- investor perceptions of or the investment opportunity associated with our Common Stock relative to other investment alternatives;- investors' responses to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including our filings with the SEC;- adverse resolutions relating to new or pending litigation or governmental investigations;- guidance, if any, that we provide to the public, any changes in this guidance, or our failure to meet this guidance;- limited liquidity of our stock, including the potential impact of a small public float;- the development and sustainability of an active trading market for our stock;- changes in accounting principles; and - other events or factors, including those resulting from informational technology system failures and disruptions, data breaches, natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism or responses to these events. Furthermore, the stock market may experience extreme volatility that, in some cases, may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. Broader market volatility, especially in the technology sector, may also adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our actual performance. Additionally, low public float or trading volume could amplify price fluctuations. Stockholders may not be able to sell their shares at or above the price paid and could lose all or part of their investment. Periods of volatility may also increase the risk of securities litigation, which could be costly and distract management from our operations.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they downgrade our stock or our sector, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our Common Stock relies in part on the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. We do not control these analysts. Furthermore, if one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrade our stock or our industry, or the stock of any of our competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our stock could decline. If one or more of these analysts stop covering us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price and/or trading volume to decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6If we or Platinum sell shares of our Common Stock or are perceived by the public markets as intending to sell them, the market price of our Common Stock could decline.
The sale of substantial amounts of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our Common Stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell shares of our Common Stock in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. In addition, Platinum has pledged 191,326,531 shares of the Company's Common Stock, representing 81.4% of the Company's total outstanding shares of Common Stock, pursuant to a margin loan agreement, and any foreclosure upon those shares could result in sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, which could substantially decrease the market price of our Common Stock. As of December 27, 2025, we had a total of 235,073,327 shares of our Common Stock outstanding. All of such shares are eligible for resale in the public market under Rule 144 of the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), subject in the case of shares held by our affiliates, to volume, manner of sale and other limitations under Rule 144. In addition, Platinum has the right, subject to certain exceptions and conditions, to require us to register its shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act, and they will have the right to participate in future registrations of securities by us. Registration of any of these outstanding shares of Common Stock would result in such shares becoming freely tradable without compliance with Rule 144 upon effectiveness of the applicable registration statement. As restrictions on resale end or if Platinum exercises its registration rights with respect to our Common Stock, the market price of our Common Stock could decline if Platinum sells such shares or is perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7Our board of directors is authorized to issue and designate shares of our preferred stock in additional series without stockholder approval.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors, without the approval of our stockholders, to issue 100,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, subject to limitations prescribed by applicable law, rules and regulations, and the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The board is also authorized to designate shares of preferred stock in series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof. The powers, preferences, and rights of these additional series of preferred stock may be senior to or on parity with our Common Stock, which may reduce the value of the Common Stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains exclusive forum provisions that could limit our stockholders' ability to pursue certain claims in a preferred judicial forum.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes exclusive forum provisions that generally require certain stockholder actions, including derivative suits, fiduciary duty claims, and other internal corporate matters, to be brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery, and Securities Act claims to be brought in U.S. federal courts. These provisions may limit a stockholder's ability to select a preferred forum and could discourage litigation. If a court finds these provisions unenforceable, we may incur additional costs litigating in multiple jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9Because our executive officers hold, or in the future may hold, long-term incentive awards that will vest upon a change of control, these officers may have interests in us that conflict with those of our stockholders.
Our executive officers hold, or in the future may hold, long-term incentive awards that would automatically vest upon a change of control. As a result, these officers may view certain change of control transactions more favorably than other stockholders due to the vesting opportunities available to them and, as a result, may have an economic incentive to support a transaction that may not be viewed as favorable by other stockholders
