    The use of artificial intelligence technologies presents operational, legal and regulatory risks.

    The rapid evolution and growing adoption of artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning technologies present emerging risks to the security of our information, as well as the information of our customers and business partners. As with cybersecurity risks, the use of AI by our employees, or by our customers and business partners, could result in the loss or unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information or the generation of inaccurate, biased or unintended outputs that could impact business decisions, customer interactions or regulatory compliance. The legal, regulatory and ethical landscapes around the use of AI technologies, including generative AI, are rapidly evolving and uncertain, including in relation to the areas of intellectual property, cybersecurity and privacy and data protection. These developments may result in new or expanded legal and compliance obligations and could impose significant operational or compliance burdens on our business. In addition, the use of AI technologies may create risks relating to the ownership, protection or enforceability of our intellectual property, or result in claims that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties. In addition to our existing business continuity and incident response plans, which are designed to address cybersecurity incidents, the Company has implemented an internal AI policy. This policy restricts the use of AI technologies by requiring employees to obtain prior approval from the Company's AI Technology Governance Committee, in order to evaluate any potential security, compliance, or operational risks. Nonetheless, the use of AI by our employees, suppliers and customers could expose our confidential information or those of our stakeholders, which could have a material adverse impact on our business reputation, result in regulatory action or legal liability. As we evaluate and potentially expand the use of AI technologies in our operations, including in tools used by employees or customer-facing applications, we may face additional risks, including those described above, as well as increased compliance costs and operational complexity.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law may discourage potential acquirers of our Company, which could adversely affect the value of our securities.

    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our Board of Directors is authorized to issue from time to time, without further stockholder approval, up to five million shares of preferred stock in one or more series of preferred stock issuances. Our Board of Directors may establish the number of shares to be included in each series of preferred stock and determine, as applicable, the voting and other powers, designations, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions for such series of preferred stock. The shares of preferred stock could have preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends and liquidation rights. We may issue additional preferred stock in ways which may delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company without further action by our stockholders. The shares of preferred stock may be issued with voting rights that may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock by increasing the number of outstanding shares having voting rights and by the creation of class or series voting rights. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, contains additional provisions that may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third-party to acquire or attempt to acquire control of our Company. In addition, we are subject to certain provisions of Delaware law that limit, in some cases, our ability to engage in certain business combinations with significant stockholders. These provisions, either alone, or in combination with each other, give our current directors and executive officers the ability to significantly influence the outcome of a proposed acquisition of the Company. These provisions would apply even if an acquisition or other significant corporate transaction was considered beneficial by some of our stockholders. If a change in control or change in management is delayed or prevented by these provisions, the market price of our outstanding securities could be adversely impacted.

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.
