  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Due to the Control by Our Principal Stockholder of a Majority of Our Voting Shares, Our Minority Stockholders Will Have Little Power to Choose Management or Impact Operations.

    Our principal stockholder, Mr. Ang Woon Han, currently controls and votes an aggregate of 55.4% of our issued and outstanding common stock and an additional 2,775,000 voting shares, equal to approximately 54.7% of our voting stock due to his ownership of 48 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and 10 shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. Consequently, our principal stockholder has the ability to influence control of our operations and will have the ability to influence or control substantially all matters submitted to stockholders for approval, including: - Election of the board of directors;         - Removal of directors;         - Amendment to our articles of incorporation or bylaws; and         - Approval of a merger, takeover or other business combination. As such, other stockholders possess no practical ability to remove management or effect the operations of our business. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Stockholders may face significant restrictions on the resale of our common stock due to federal regulations of penny stocks.

    Our common stock will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9, promulgated under the Exchange Act, as long as the price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock. Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of Company stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    We Intend to Issue More Shares in a Merger or Acquisition, Which Will Result in Substantial Dilution.

    Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of a maximum of 200,000,000 shares of common stock and a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Any merger or acquisition effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Moreover, the common stock issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm's-length basis by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Our board of directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued in connection with a business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur and the rights of the holders of common stock might be materially adversely affected.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Rule 144 Is Not Generally Available to Holders of Our Common Stock Which Makes It Difficult to Resell Shares in the Future.

    With limited exceptions related to certain shares acquired before we became a "shell company" (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, all of our presently outstanding shares of common stock are "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") and may only be resold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration. Rule 144 generally provides a safe harbor exemption for the resale of restricted securities, provided, however, restricted securities that we issued either while we were a "shell company" or at any time thereafter, can only be resold in reliance on Rule 144 if the following conditions are met: (1) we have ceased to be a "shell company";   (2) we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act");   (3) we filed all reports and material required to be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months, other than Form 8-K reports; and   (4) at least one year has elapsed from the time we filed the Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting our status as an entity that is not a "shell company." We may never meet these conditions and holders of our shares of Common Stock may never be entitled to rely on Rule 144 for the resale of their shares. This could have a materially adverse effect on the trading market for our shares, if a trading market develops, of which there is no assurance.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    There Is Currently A Limited Trading Market for Our Common Stock.

    Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets under the symbol "LOGQ", however, we currently have a volatile, sporadic and illiquid market for our common stock, which is subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including, but not limited to: - actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;   - our ability or inability to generate new revenues;   - increased competition; and   - conditions and trends in the market for our services and products. Furthermore, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, global epidemics or pandemics, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Our Directors Have the Right to Authorize the Issuance of Preferred Stock.

    Our directors, without further action by our stockholders, have the authority to issue shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series and to fix the number of shares, the relative rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and any other preferences, special rights and qualifications of any such series. Any issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock in that such preferred stock could have priority over the common stock with respect to voting, dividend or liquidation rights, similar to our currently outstanding preferred stock. For example, each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,250 shares of common stock (after adjusting for our prior 1-for-20 reverse stock split) and has 15 times the number of votes its conversion-equivalent number of shares of common stock, or 18,750 votes per share of Series C Preferred Stock and each share of Series D Preferred Stock may be converted, at the option of the shareholder, into 1,250 shares of common stock (after adjusting for our prior 1-for-20 reverse stock split) and has 150 times the number of votes its conversion-equivalent number of shares of common stock, or 187,500 votes per share of Series D Preferred Stock. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock vote along with the common stock on all matters requiring a vote of shareholders and are not redeemable by us. Additionally, the currently outstanding preferred stock or any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    There May Be Conflicts of Interest Between Our Management and Our Non-Management Stockholders.

    Conflicts of interest create the risk that management may have an incentive to act adversely to the interests of other stockholders. A conflict of interest may arise between our management's personal pecuniary interests and their fiduciary duty to our stockholders. Further, our management's own pecuniary interest may at some point compromise their fiduciary duty to our stockholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    We Have No Existing Agreement for a Business Combination or Other Transaction and There Is No Guarantee That We Will Be Able to Negotiate a Transaction That Will Benefit Our Stockholders.

    We have no arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. No assurances can be given that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation. We may be unable to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms, and there is consequently a risk that funds allocated to the purchase of our shares will not be invested in a company with active business operations.

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.
