Risk Overview Q2, 2026
Risk Change Over Time
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1We are incurring significant increased costs as a result of becoming a public company that reports to the SEC and our management is required to devote substantial time to meet compliance obligations.
As a public company listed in the United States, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We are subject to reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq that impose significant requirements on public companies, including requiring the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Protection Act includes significant corporate governance and executive compensation-related provisions that have and will continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and may also place undue strain on our personnel, systems and resources. Our management and other personnel must devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. In addition, these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified people to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 2We are a development-stage an early-stage technology company with no history of generating revenue, have a history of operating losses, and we may never achieve or maintain profitability.
We are a technology company that was formed in January 2018. We have a limited operating history and no revenue and to-date have largely focused our efforts and resources towards research and development activities relating to our development of the Evie Ring and the SoC. The likelihood of success of our business plan must be considered in light of the challenges, substantial expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with developing and expanding early-stage businesses and the regulatory and competitive environment in which we operate. Technology product development is a highly speculative undertaking, involves a substantial degree of risk and is a capital-intensive business. As of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $124.4 million. We expect that our losses will continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest significant additional resources toward the commercialization of our products and ongoing research and development. We have experienced these losses and accumulated deficit primarily due to the investments we have made in developing our proprietary technologies and products, building our team and manufacturing capabilities and commercially launching our first product, the Evie Ring. Without additional capital our existing cash and cash equivalents will be insufficient to fully fund our business plan. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and these losses will likely increase as we prepare for and begin to commercialize our first product. Our ability to achieve revenue-generating operations and, ultimately, achieve profitability will depend on whether we can obtain additional capital when we need it, complete the development of our technology, receive regulatory approval of our technology, potentially find strategic collaborators that can incorporate our technology into applications which can be successfully commercialized and achieve market acceptance. There can be no assurance that we will ever generate revenues or achieve profitability. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 89
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The market price of our common stock after the merger may be affected by factors different from those that historically affected the market price of our common stock.
The businesses of our Corvex division differs from those of our Movano division in important respects, and, accordingly, the results of operations of Corvex after the merger, as well as the market price of our common stock, may be affected by factors different from those that historically affected the results of operations of the Company. For further information on the respective businesses of each of our divisions and certain factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the section titled "Item 1 Business" above and "Risk Factors-Risks related to Corvex" below. Additionally, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly following the merger. Moreover, general fluctuations in stock markets could have a material adverse effect on the market for, or liquidity of, the common stock of the combined company, regardless of our actual operating performance.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2If the Merger does not qualify as a "reorganization" under Section 368(a) of the Code, stockholders of Corvex common stock may be required to recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of Corvex common stock for our Common Stock in the Merger.
The Company intends for the Merger to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The completion of the Merger is not conditioned on the Merger qualifying for the intended tax treatment or upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel to that effect, and the Company has not requested a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger. If the Merger does not qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, a Corvex stockholder that is a U.S. holder generally would recognize a gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of the legacy Corvex common stock and series seed preferred stock for our Common Stock in the Merger.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3The expected dilution caused by the issuance of our securities in connection with the Merger may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
The expected dilution caused by the issuance of the new shares of our Common Stock in connection with the conversion of the convertible preferred stock issued to legacy Corvex stockholders in connection with the payment of the merger consideration upon the closing of the Merger and the assumption of Corvex equity awards and the issuance of new equity awards in connection with the Merger, either alone or in combination with any negative impact on the market price of our Common Stock following the release of lock-up restrictions entered by the respective directors, officers and certain stockholders of legacy Corvex and the Company in connection with the Merger, may result in fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock, including a stock price decrease.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we are required to obtain stockholder approval for conversion of all outstanding shares of our Series C and Series D Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock. We cannot guarantee that our stockholders will approve this matter.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we agreed to take all action necessary under applicable law to obtain the requisite approval for the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock issued in the Merger into shares of our common stock, as required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules, at a stockholders meeting to be held as soon as practicable following the execution of the Merger Agreement, which would be time consuming and costly. The conversion of all such Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock will cause the issuance of a maximum of 53,778,572 shares of our Common Stock, resulting in dilution to existing holders of our Common Stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. We have a contractual obligation under the Merger Agreement to register such shares of Common Stock for resale shortly following their conversion if approved by our stockholders at the stockholders meeting.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5The market price of our common stock may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock will trade. The market price of our common stock will depend on a number of factors, including those described in this "Risk Factors" section, many of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. In addition, the limited public float of our common stock will tend to increase the volatility of the trading price of our common stock. These fluctuations could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the market price of our common stock include, but are not limited to, the following: - actual or anticipated changes or fluctuations in our operating results;- our incurrence of any indebtedness;- our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements;- the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections, or our failure to meet these projections;- announcements by us or our competitors of new offerings or new or terminated significant contracts, commercial relationships, acquisitions, or capital commitments;- industry or financial analyst or investor reaction to our press releases, other public announcements and filings with the SEC;- rumors and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry;- price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;- the overall performance of the stock market or technology companies;- the expiration of contractual lock up agreements and sales of shares of our common stock by us or our stockholders;- failure of industry or financial analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any analysts who follow us, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;- actual or anticipated developments in our business or our competitors' businesses or the competitive landscape generally;- litigation or other proceedings involving us or our industry, or investigations by regulators into our operations or those of our competitors;- developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property rights or our solutions, or third-party proprietary rights;- new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;- any major changes in our management or our board of directors;- the global political, economic, and macroeconomic climate, including but not limited to, actual or perceived instability in the banking industry, potential uncertainty with respect to the federal debt ceiling and budget and potential government shutdowns related thereto, domestic and foreign regulatory uncertainty, changes in trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs, trade controls and other trade barriers, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, potential recession, inflation, and rising interest rates;- other events or factors, including those resulting from war, armed conflict, including the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine and tensions between China and Taiwan, incidents of terrorism, or responses to these events; and - cybersecurity incidents. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies, particularly during the current period of global macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. These economic, political, regulatory, and market conditions may negatively impact the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market prices of a particular company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that company. Securities litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention and resources from our business. This could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, and prospects.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that they might occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock into the public market, and particularly sales by our directors, executive officers, and principal stockholders, or the perception that these sales might occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. In connection with the Merger, the directors and officers of Movano and Corvex, as well as certain significant stockholders of Corvex, have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer or otherwise dispose of shares of our common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) for a period of 180 days after the Effective Time. As a result, for so long as the lock-up restrictions remain in effect, a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock will be restricted from trading. The reduction in the available public float may limit the liquidity of our common stock, increase the volatility of the trading price, and make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares at a desired time or price. Limited float can also exacerbate the impact of market or industry fluctuations and short-term trading dynamics on the price of our common stock. Upon expiration of the lock-up period, a significant number of additional shares may become eligible for sale in the public market. If the locked up parties sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the lock-up restrictions expire, or if the market perceives that such sales could occur, the market price of our common stock could decline materially. Additionally, our Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock may convert to Common Stock thus further diluting our current holders. For example, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 1,000 shares of Common Stock on March 31, 2026. The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock include a beneficial ownership limitation pursuant to which the Company is not permitted to effect any conversion of Series B Preferred Stock held by a holder to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance the holder and its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Additionally, three business days following stockholder approval of the Conversion Proposal, each share of Series C Preferred Stock and each share of Series D Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 1,000 and 1,000 shares, respectively, of Common Stock thus further diluting our current common stockholders. Furthermore, because a meaningful portion of our outstanding shares will be held by insiders and significant stockholders subject to lock-up restrictions, the interests of such holders with respect to the timing of sales or hedging transactions following the lock-up expiration may not be aligned with those of other stockholders. Any overhang created by the impending availability of a substantial number of shares for sale, combined with actual or anticipated sales after the lock-up period expires, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to raise additional capital through equity offerings on acceptable terms. Sales of a substantial number of such shares, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause our market price to fall or make it more difficult for you to sell your common stock at a time and price that you deem appropriate. The combined company may also issue its shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock from time to time in connection with a financing, acquisition, investment, or otherwise. Any further issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7If financial analysts issue inaccurate or unfavorable research regarding, or do not or cease to cover, our common stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that financial analysts publish about it, our business, our market and our competitors. The combined company will not control these analysts or the content and opinions included in their reports. As a new public company, the analysts who publish information about our common stock will have had relatively little experience with our business, which could affect their ability to accurately forecast its results and make it more likely that it fails to meet their estimates. If any of the analysts who cover us issues an inaccurate or unfavorable opinion regarding our stock price, our stock price would likely decline. In addition, the stock prices of many companies in the technology industry have declined significantly after those companies have failed to meet, or significantly exceed, the financial guidance publicly announced by the companies or the expectations of analysts. If our financial results fail to meet, or significantly exceed, our announced guidance, if any, or the expectations of analysts or public investors, analysts could downgrade our common stock or publish unfavorable research about it. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our common stock or fail to publish reports on it regularly, our visibility in the financial markets could decrease, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains exclusive forum provisions for certain claims, which may limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will be the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty, any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or our amended and restated bylaws, or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine or asserting an "internal corporate claim" as defined in the DGCL. Moreover, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the federal district courts of the United States will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act ("Federal Forum Provision"). While there can be no assurance that federal or state courts will follow the holding of the Delaware Supreme Court or determine that the Federal Forum Provision should be enforced in a particular case, application of the Federal Forum Provision means that suits brought by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act must be brought in federal court and cannot be brought in state court. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, the Federal Forum Provision applies to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Accordingly, actions by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder must be brought in federal court. Our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any of our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to our exclusive forum provisions, including the Federal Forum Provision. These provisions may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum of their choosing for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results, financial condition, and prospects.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9The issuance of additional stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, our equity incentive plan, upon exercise of outstanding warrants or otherwise will dilute our existing stockholders.
If we issue additional equity securities, our existing stockholders' percentage ownership will be reduced, and these stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may also issue equity securities that provide for rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of our common stock. Subject to compliance with applicable rules and regulations, we may issue our shares of common stock in connection with a financing, acquisition, our equity incentive plan, upon exercise of outstanding warrants or otherwise. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a de-listing of our common stock.
Our common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq"). On November 14, 2023, we were notified by Nasdaq that because the closing bid price for our common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, we were no longer met the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), requiring a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). On May 15, 2024, since we did not regain compliance by May 13, 2024, we requested, and were granted, an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement expiring November 11, 2024. On October 29, 2024, we completed a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. On November 12, 2024, the we were notified by Nasdaq that we had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On January 17, 2025, Nasdaq announced the effectiveness of new listing rules that will complicate regaining compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by removing the stay period during an appeal of a delisting determination to a hearings panel and reducing the availability of further compliance periods for issuers that implement multiple reverse stock splits. On May 20, 2025, we were notified by Nasdaq that, because we had not yet filed our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025, we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Filing Requirement"). We had until July 21, 2025, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Filing Requirement. On July 7, 2025, we received a notice from Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and, due to the fact we effected a reverse stock split within the prior year, we were not eligible for an extended compliance period. We requested a hearing to appeal the delisting of our common stock. This hearing was held on August 19, 2025. At this hearing, we presented our plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Separately, on August 21, 2025, we received a notice from Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with the Filing Requirement because we had not yet filed our 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025. On August 27, 2025, we received a notice from Nasdaq that Nasdaq had granted our request to continue our listing on Nasdaq subject to (i) our regaining compliance with the Filing Requirement by filing our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 on or before September 30, 2025, and (ii) our demonstrating compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement on or before October 30, 2025. On September 24, 2025, we filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, within the extension period granted by Nasdaq. On October 7, 2025, we were notified by Nasdaq that we had regained compliance with the Filing Requirement. On October 10, 2025, we effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, the effect of which allowed us to demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price rule within the extension period granted by Nasdaq. On November 11, 2025, we were notified by Nasdaq that we had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On October 1, 2025, we received a written notice from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity for continued listing (the "Stockholders' Equity Requirement") and serves as an additional basis of delisting before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel"). In our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on September 24, 2025, we reported stockholders' equity of approximately $1.637 million and, as a result, did not satisfy the Stockholders' Equity Requirement. In the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we reported stockholders' equity of approximately $(1.701) million and, as a result, we continued to not satisfy the Stockholders' Equity Requirement. The notice provided that the Panel would consider the Stockholders' Equity Requirement in its decision regarding our continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market and provided us the opportunity to present our views with respect to this deficiency in writing to the Panel no later than October 8, 2025. Accordingly, the we presented a written plan of compliance to the Panel with respect to the Stockholders' Equity Requirement before such deadline and updated that plan following our announcement of the Merger Agreement, the Series A Purchase Agreement and the Equity Facility. On December 18, 2025, the Panel granted us an extension until March 30, 2026 to regain compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement. Following the Closing of the Merger, on March 19, 2026, we submitted a written update to the Panel describing how the Merger resulted in us regaining compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement. Any future non-compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements could result in Nasdaq taking steps to delist the our common stock. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of the our common stock and would impair shareholders' ability to sell or purchase the our common stock. Any perception that the we may not regain compliance for future noncompliance or a delisting of the our common stock by Nasdaq could adversely affect the our ability to attract new investors, decrease the liquidity of the outstanding shares of our common stock, reduce the price at which such shares trade and increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares with overall negative effects for the our stockholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and members of our board of directors.
Provisions that will be in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a merger, acquisition or other change of control of our company that the stockholders may consider favorable. In addition, because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors. Among other things, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will include provisions that: - provide that our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors with staggered three-year terms;- permit our board of directors to establish the number of directors and fill any vacancies and newly created directorships;- require supermajority voting to amend some provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws;- authorize the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that our board of directors could use to implement a stockholder rights plan;- provide that only the majority of our board of directors, the chair of the board of directors or each of the Chief Executive Officers may call a special meeting of stockholders;- eliminate the ability of stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders;- do not provide for cumulative voting;- because our board is classified, provide that directors may only be removed by the board of directors, with or without cause;- prohibit stockholder action by written consent, requiring all stockholder actions to be taken at a duly called meeting of stockholders;- provide that our board of directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws, and that stockholder amendments to the bylaws require a supermajority vote;- establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at annual stockholder meetings; and - designate exclusive forums for certain stockholder litigation. Moreover, Section 203 of the DGCL, may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of us. Section 203 imposes certain restrictions on mergers, business combinations, and other transactions between us and holders of 15% or more of our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 12Concentration of ownership among our existing executive officers, directors and significant stockholders may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.
All decisions with respect to the management of the Company will be made by our board of directors and our officers, who beneficially own approximately 19.4% of our common stock as of March 19, 2026, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In addition, Peter Appel beneficially owns approximately 9.9%, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. As a result, these stockholders will be able to exercise a significant level of control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company or changes in management, in each case, which other stockholders might find favorable, and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these significant stockholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 13Holders of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock have certain voting and other rights that may adversely affect holders of our common stock, and the holders of the Preferred Stock may have different interests from and vote their shares in a manner deemed adverse to, holders of our common stock.
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock vote on an "as-converted" basis with the holders of our common stock on all matters brought before the holders of our common stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a dividend at a rate of 8.0% per annum, paid in kind or paid in cash depending on the timing of the conversion of such shares. Payment of dividends in cash may adversely affect our financial position while payment of dividends in kind may cause incremental dilution to holders of our common stock. In addition, these dividend obligations, as well as the rights of the Preferred Stock on liquidation, are senior to the rights of our common stock, which could negatively affect the value of our common stock and impair our ability to raise additional capital. Our Preferred Stock, if not converted into common stock, will also be senior to our common stock in distribution and liquidation if such shares are not converted into common stock, which could negatively affect the value of our common stock and impair our ability to raise additional capital. As a result, the holders of Preferred Stock may vote in a manner that is deemed adverse to holders of our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 14We are an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, and we expect to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" including, but not limited to, (i) being required to present only two years of audited financial statements and related financial disclosure, (ii) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (iii) extended transition periods for complying with new or revised accounting standards, (iv) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and (v) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We have taken, and in the future may take, advantage of these exemptions until such time that we are no longer an "emerging growth company. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and the price of our common stock may be more volatile. We will remain an "emerging growth company" through December 31, 2026, although we will lose that status sooner if our annual revenues exceed $1.07 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30. If we remain an emerging growth company through December 31, 2026, we will have to consider any consequences that might apply from the change in status when we prepare the financial statements and related disclosures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2026.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 15If securities or industry analysts do not publish research reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse opinion about our business, the price of our common stock and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no or few analysts commence research coverage of us, or one or more of the analysts who cover us issues an adverse opinion about our company, the price of our common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases research coverage of us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the price of our common stock or trading volume to decline.
