    Our Wholly-owned Colombian Subsidiary, OWP SAS, is in Liquidation Proceedings

    Effective October 1, 2024, the Company's Colombian subsidiary, One World Pharma S.A.S. ("OWP Colombia"), entered into a liquidation proceeding pursuant to Colombian Law 1116 of 2006, under which the creditors of a company can request "judicial liquidation" of such company. The proceeding is expected to last approximately one year. The proceeding was submitted to the Superintendent of Corporations of Colombia as a substitute to the reorganization proceedings previously filed on December 22, 2023. The operations of OWP Colombia have previously been deconsolidated. As such, we do not expect the judicial liquidation to have a significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    We may not be able to put to Tysadco all $10,000,000 of shares available under the Purchase Agreement.

    The Purchase Agreement provides for the purchase by Tysadco of up to $10,000,000 of shares of our common stock. Our ability to draw down funds and sell shares under the Purchase Agreement requires the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part be declared effective by the SEC and continue to be effective at the time of the put, as well as Tysadco's compliance with its obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to draw down all or any portion of the $10,000,000 available to us under the Purchase Agreement.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Tysadco will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our common stock for purchases under the Purchase Agreement.

    The common stock to be issued to Tysadco pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be purchased at a 12% discount to the lowest volume weighted average price of our common stock during the during the period of 10 trading days beginning five trading days preceding the day we deliver the applicable put notice to Tysadco. Tysadco has a financial incentive to sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equal to the difference between the discounted price and the market price. If Tysadco sells the shares, the price of our common stock could decrease. If our stock price decreases, Tysadco may have a further incentive to sell the shares of our common stock that it holds. These sales may have a further impact on our stock price.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The sale of our common stock to Tysadco may cause dilution, and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by Tysadco, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.

    Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, Tysadco has committed to purchase up to an aggregate of $10,000,000 of our common stock. The shares that may be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in the future may be sold by us to Tysadco at our discretion from time to time, commencing three years from February 9, 2024, the date the SEC declared the registration statement effective. The per share purchase price for the shares that we may sell to Tysadco under the Purchase Agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock, and will be equal to 88% of the of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock during the period of 10 trading days beginning five trading days preceding the day we deliver the applicable put notice to Tysadco. Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of shares of common stock to Tysadco may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall. We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to Tysadco, except that, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we may not sell shares to Tysadco if the sale would result in its beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock. Tysadco may ultimately purchase all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and, after it has acquired shares, Tysadco may sell all, some or none of those shares. Therefore, sales to Tysadco by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to Tysadco, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our common stock because it is considered a penny stock and is subject to the penny stock rules.

    Our common stock currently constitutes "penny stock." Subject to certain exceptions, for the purposes relevant to us, "penny stock" includes any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain brokers-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a "penny stock." In particular, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or "accredited investor" (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse), must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    We may issue additional stock without stockholder consent.

    Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, to issue all or part of our authorized but unissued shares. Additional shares may be issued in connection with future financing, acquisitions, employee stock plans, or otherwise. Any such issuance will dilute the percentage ownership of existing stockholders. The Board of Directors can also issue preferred stock in one or more series and fix the terms of such stock without stockholder approval. Preferred stock may include the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and reduce the value of the common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to holders of preferred stock could discourage, delay or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of our company, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders. Such issuance could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause us to take other corporate actions you desire.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Limited Trading

    Although prices for shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets, there is limited trading and no assurance can be given that an active public trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. The OTC Markets is generally regarded as a less efficient and less prestigious trading market than other national markets. There is no assurance if or when our common stock will be quoted on another more prestigious exchange or market. The market price of our common stock is may be volatile as there will likely be a limited trading market for the stock, which may cause transactions of small blocks of stock to have a disproportionate impact on the stock price.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    We are an Emerging Growth Company Within the Meaning of the Securities Act.

    We are an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may 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, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of any second quarter of a fiscal year, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the end of such fiscal year. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.

    Control of Common Stock will Influence Decision Making

    Our officers, directors and principal stockholders are able to exert significant influence over us and may make decisions that are not in the best interests of all stockholders. Our officers, directors and principal stockholders (greater than 5% stockholders) collectively own approximately 83.9% of our fully-diluted common stock. As a result of such ownership, these stockholders are able to affect the outcome of, or exert significant influence over, all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any change in control. In particular, this concentration of ownership of our common stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company or otherwise discouraging or preventing a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of our company. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could also prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares of our common stock.

    Our auditor has given us a "going concern" qualification, which questions our ability to continue as a going concern without additional financing.

    Our independent certified public accountant has added an emphasis paragraph to its report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Key to this determination is our recurring net losses, an accumulated deficit, and a working capital deficiency. In the event sales do not materialize at expected levels, management would seek additional financing or would conserve cash by further reducing expenses. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funds, our ability to carry out and implement our planned business objectives and strategies will be significantly delayed, limited or may not occur. We cannot guarantee that we will become profitable.

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?
