Share Price & Shareholder Rights3 | 15.0%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Our stock price has been subject to significant volatility.

    During the year ended December 31, 2025, the low and high share prices of our common stock ranged from $13.84 to $22.23. Our stock price has been, and may continue to be, subject to significant volatility. Among others, including the risks and uncertainties discussed in this Annual Report, the following factors, some of which are out of our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to continue to be volatile: - our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry;- actual or unanticipated fluctuations in our operating results;- the relatively low volume of trading in our stock; and - the lack of significant securities analysts' coverage of our stock. Fluctuations in the price of our common stock may also be exacerbated by economic and other conditions in Maui in particular, or conditions in the financial markets generally.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Share ownership by our affiliates make it more difficult for third parties to acquire us or effectuate a change of control that might be viewed favorably by other stockholders.

    Affiliates of our company owned, in the aggregate, a majority of our outstanding shares at December 31, 2025. As a result, if these affiliates were to oppose a third party's acquisition proposal for, or a change in control of, the Company, these affiliates may have sufficient voting power to be able to block or at least delay such an acquisition or change in control from taking place, even if other stockholders would support such a sale or change of control. In addition, Steve Case, a member of our board of directors, has pledged an aggregate of 8,993,750 shares as collateral security for certain obligations to Bank of Hawaii and First Hawaiian Bank. Any foreclosure or forced sale of these pledged shares could alter the composition of our stockholder base in a manner that increases the difficulties to obtain the requisite support for an acquisition or change in control favored by other stockholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Trading in our stock over the last twelve months has been limited, so investors may not be able to sell as much stock as they want at prevailing prices.

    The average daily trading volume in our common stock for the year ended December 31, 2025 was approximately 21,000 shares. If limited trading in our stock continues, it may be difficult for investors to sell their shares in the public market at any given time at prevailing prices. Moreover, the market price for shares of our common stock may be made more volatile because of the relatively low volume of trading in our common stock. When trading volume is low, significant price movement can be caused by the trading in a relatively small number of shares. Volatility in our common stock could cause stockholders to incur substantial losses.

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.
