Risk Change Over Time
- Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 1The Company has limited operating history and has a new business model in an emerging and rapidly evolving market.
MediXall is an early-stage development enterprise and lacks any operating history to evaluate in assessing our future prospects. Our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties MediXall will encounter as a development stage company in a new and rapidly evolving market must be seriously considered. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and difficulties, which could materially harm our business and operating results. In addition, we do not know if our business model will operate effectively during the next economic downturn. Furthermore, we are unable to predict the likely duration and severity of any potential adverse economic conditions in the U.S. and other countries, but the longer the duration the greater risks we face in operating our business. There can be no assurance, therefore, that current economic conditions or worsening economic conditions, or a prolonged or recurring recession, will not have a significant adverse impact on our operating and financial results.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 25
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1A sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of the common stock to decline.
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could fall. These sales also may make it more difficult for us to sell our equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. This risk is significant because of concentrated positions of our common stock held by a small group of investors.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Our common stock is a "penny stock" under SEC rules, and our warrants may be subject to the "penny stock" rules. It may be more difficult to resell securities classified as "penny stock."
Our common stock is deemed to be a "penny stock" under applicable SEC rules (generally defined as non-exchange traded stock with a per-share price below $5.00). Unless we successfully list our common stock on a national stock exchange, or maintain a per-share price above $5.00, these rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as "established customers" or "accredited investors." For example, broker-dealers must determine the appropriateness for non-qualifying persons of investments in penny stocks. Broker-dealers must also provide, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, disclose the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, furnish monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account, provide a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Legal remedies available to an investor in "penny stocks" may include the following: - If a "penny stock" is sold to the investor in violation of the requirements listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel the purchase and receive a refund of the investment. - If a "penny stock" is sold to the investor in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that committed the fraud for damages. However, investors who have signed arbitration agreements may have to pursue their claims through arbitration. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock. Many brokerage firms will discourage or refrain from recommending investments in penny stocks. Most institutional investors will not invest in penny stocks. In addition, many individual investors will not invest in penny stocks due, among other reasons, to the increased financial risk generally associated with these investments. For these reasons, penny stocks may have a limited market and, consequently, limited liquidity. We can give no assurance at what time, if ever, our common stock will not be classified as a "penny stock" in the future.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Our stock price is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.
The market price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and the market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile in the future. You may not be able to resell shares of our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market's adverse reaction to volatility. Other factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; - we may have a low trading volume for a number of reasons, including that a large portion of our stock is closely held; - overall stock market fluctuations; - announcements concerning our business or those of our competitors; - actual or perceived limitations on our ability to raise capital when we require it, and to raise such capital on favorable terms; - conditions or trends in the industry; - litigation; - changes in market valuations of other similar companies; - future sales of common stock; - departure of key personnel or failure to hire key personnel; and, - general market conditions. Any of these factors could have a significant and adverse impact on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has at times experienced extreme volatility and rapid decline that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Trading on the OTC Markets is volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their common stock.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCPK tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. ("OTC Markets"). Trading in securities quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors, some of which may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Markets is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq Capital Market or a stock exchange like the NYSE American. These factors may result in investors having difficulty reselling any shares of our common stock.
