Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 24
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1There are relatively low barriers to becoming a blank check company or shell company, thereby increasing the competitive market for a small number of business opportunities.
There are relatively low barriers to becoming a blank check company or shell company. A newly incorporated company with a single stockholder and sole officer and director may become a blank check company or shell company by voluntarily subjecting itself to the SEC reporting requirements by filing and seeking effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 with the SEC, thereby registering its common stock pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act with the SEC. Assuming no comments to the Form 10 have been received from the SEC, the registration statement is automatically deemed effective 60 days after filing the Form 10 with the SEC. The relative ease and low cost with which a company can become a blank check or shell company can increase the already highly competitive market for a limited number of businesses looking to consummate a business combination with a public reporting company.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2There may be conflicts of interest between our management and the non-management stockholders of the Company.
Currently, our stockholders are also our officers and directors. However, if in the future shares of our Common Stock are held by non- management, management may have an incentive to act adversely to the interests of the other stockholders of the Company. A conflict of interest may arise between our management's personal pecuniary interest and its fiduciary duty to our stockholders. In addition to this, our officers and directors are involved in other business activities and they may be presented with a business opportunity which would pose a conflict of interest with the business of the Company. The Company has not, as of the date hereof, developed a policy to deal with such conflicts. As a result, conflicts of interest can be resolved only through our officers and directors' exercise of such judgment as is consistent with their fiduciary duties to the Company and they are legally required to make the decision based upon the best interests of the Company and the Company's other stockholders, rather than their own personal pecuniary benefit.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Our stockholders may have a minority interest in the Company following a business combination and the stockholders of the acquired company would therefore be able to control the election of our board and other major decisions relating to our Company.
If we enter into a business combination with a company with a value in excess of the value of our Company, and issue shares of our Common Stock to the stockholders of such company as consideration for merging with us, our stockholders will likely own less than 50% of the Company after the business combination. The stockholders of the acquired company would therefore be able to control the election of our board of directors (the "Board of Directors") and control our Company.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4There is currently no trading market for our Common Stock, and liquidity of shares of our Common Stock is limited which would make it harder to sell Common Stock.
There is currently no public trading market for the Common Stock and no public trading market is expected to develop in the foreseeable future unless and until the Company completes a business combination with an operating business and the Company thereafter files and obtains effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Therefore, outstanding shares of Common Stock cannot be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. Further, stockholders may rely on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 of the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), subject to certain restrictions, starting one year after (i) the completion of a business combination with a private company in a reverse merger transaction after which the Company would cease to be a "shell company" (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and (ii) the disclosure of certain information on a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days thereafter, and only if the Company has been current in all of its periodic SEC filings for the 12 months preceding the contemplated sale of stock. Compliance with the criteria for securing exemptions under federal securities laws and the securities laws of the various states is extremely complex, especially in respect of those exemptions affording flexibility and the elimination of trading restrictions in respect of securities received in exempt transactions and subsequently disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or state securities laws.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5There are issues impacting liquidity of our securities with respect to the SEC's review of a future resale registration statement which may preclude you from publicly selling your shares for some time unless they are registered.
Since our shares of Common Stock issued prior to a business combination cannot currently, nor will they for a considerable period of time after we complete a business combination, be available to be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred without being registered pursuant to the Securities Act, we will likely file a resale registration statement on Form S-1, or some other available form, to register for resale such shares of Common Stock. We cannot control this future registration process in all respects as some matters are outside our control. Even if we are successful in causing the effectiveness of the resale registration statement, there can be no assurances that the occurrence of subsequent events may not preclude our ability to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement. Any of the foregoing items could have adverse effects on the liquidity of our shares of Common Stock. In addition, the SEC has recently disclosed that it has developed internal informal guidelines concerning the use of a resale registration statement to register the securities issued to certain investors in private investment in public equity (PIPE) transactions, where the issuer has a market capitalization of less than $75 million and, in general, does not qualify to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register its securities. The SEC has taken the position that these smaller issuers may not be able to rely on Rule 415 under the Securities Act ("Rule 415"), which generally permits the offer and sale of securities on a continued or delayed basis over a period of time, but instead would require that the issuer offer and sell such securities in a direct or "primary" public offering, at a fixed price, if the facts and circumstances are such that the SEC believes the investors seeking to have their shares registered are underwriters and/or affiliates of the issuer.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6Currently, our management beneficially owns most of the issued and outstanding Common Stock and will, therefore, effectively control any matters that may be put to a vote of the stockholders until a significant amount of shares are issued in the future.
Our management currently beneficially owns 82.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. Consequently, management has the ability to influence control of the operations of the Company and, acting together, will have the ability to influence or control substantially all matters submitted to stockholders for approval, including: - Election of our Board of Directors;- Removal of directors;- Amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws; and - Adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination. These stockholders have complete control over our affairs. 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 the Common Stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7We expect to issue additional shares of common stock in our initial business combination, which will result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.
Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock and a maximum of 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "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 8We will be deemed a blank check company under Rule 419 of the Securities Act; therefore, in any subsequent offering, we will have to comply with Rule 419.
We are required to comply with the provisions of Rule 419 of the Securities Act in any registered offering of securities while we are a blank check or shell company. Pursuant to Rule 419, we will be required to deposit all funds in escrow pending the provision of advice about the proposed transaction to our stockholders fully disclosing all information required by Section 14 of the Exchange Act and seeking the vote and agreement of those stockholders to whom such securities were offered. If no response is received from these stockholders within 45 days thereafter, or if any stockholder elects not to invest following our advice about the proposed transaction, all funds that must be held in escrow by us under Rule 419 will be promptly returned to any such stockholder. All securities issued in any such offering will likewise be deposited in escrow, pending satisfaction of the foregoing conditions. The funds held in escrow may be released to us and the securities may be delivered to the purchaser or other registered holder identified on the deposited securities only after the escrow agent has received both a signed representation from us as well as other evidence acceptable to the escrow agent that we have met the requirements of Rule 419(e)(1) and (e)(2), and we have consummated an acquisition meeting the requirements of Rule 419(e)(2)(iii) of the Securities Act. In addition, we are required to advise stockholders of a probable acquisition or when we execute an agreement to acquire a business.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9The possible issuance in the future of Preferred Stock with preferential rights to the holders of Common Stock could adversely affect the holders of our Common Stock.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 30,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the Common Stock. These adverse effects could include subordination to preferred stockholders in the payment of dividends and upon our liquidation and dissolution, and the use of Preferred Stock as an anti-takeover measure, which could impede a change in control that is otherwise in the interests of holders of our Common Stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future.
