Share Price & Shareholder Rights8 | 21.1%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Any additional capital raising will likely cause dilution to existing stockholders and, if capital raising is a secured raise, it may restrict our operations or adversely affect our ability to operate our business.

    The sale of equity or issuance of debt to raise capital could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions such as incurring additional debt, expending capital, or declaring dividends, or which impose financial covenants on us that impede our ability to manage our operations.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Agreements with affiliated entities present conflicts of interests.

    The Company may enter into agreements with strategic alliance entities in which Company officers or directors will render services and have a direct or indirect financial interest.  The Company expects to enter into transactions involving significant amounts of capital with these affiliated entities. Prior to the execution of agreements, the Company's Board of Directors must determine that the terms and conditions of these agreements are no less favorable to the Company than what would be negotiated in an arm's length transaction.  The Company officers and directors owe the Company a fiduciary responsibility. If it is determined that Company officers and directors breached their fiduciary obligation, these officers may be required to resign in which case, Company operations will be significantly impaired.  The Company may also face shareholder derivative actions in connection with these activities.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Conflicts of interests may develop between Company officers, directors and affiliates.

    Subject to compliance with applicable laws and legal doctrines of corporate loyalty, officers and directors of the Company may identify new wind projects or choose to otherwise develop wind projects outside of the Company.  Members of the Board or officers who may be subject to conflicts shall not be involved in deliberation or voting by the Board with respect to such projects.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Because the market for our common shares is limited, investors may not be able to resell their common shares.

    Our common shares trade on the Over-the-Counter-Bulletin-Board quotation system. Trading in our shares has historically been subject to very low volumes and wide disparity in pricing. Investors may not be able to sell or trade their common shares because of thin volume and volatile pricing with the consequence that they may have to hold your shares for an indefinite period of time.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    There are legal restrictions on the resale of the common shares offered, including penny stock regulations under the U.S. Federal Securities Laws.

    We anticipate that our common stock will continue to be subject to the penny stock rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These rules regulate broker/dealer practices for transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker/dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction, the broker and/or dealer must make 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. The transaction costs associated with penny stocks are high, reducing the number of broker-dealers who may be willing to engage in the trading of our shares. These additional penny stock disclosure requirements are burdensome and may reduce all of the trading activity in the market for our common stock. As long as the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, our shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Grants of stock options and other rights to our employees may dilute your stock ownership.

    We plan to attract and retain employees in part by offering stock options and other purchase rights for a significant number of common shares. We have granted stock options to certain officers and directors.  The issuance of common shares pursuant to these options, and options issued in the future, will have the effect of reducing the percentage of ownership in our existing shareholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    Our stock price may be volatile and market movements may adversely affect your investment.

    The market price of our stock may fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. The stock markets in general have experienced substantial volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our stock. Future sales of our common shares by our shareholders could depress the price of our stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    The Company is not required to file Current and Periodic Reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company's status as a voluntary filer may have consequences for investors' ability to access relevant and timely information about the Company.

    The Company is a "voluntary filer" with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  This means that the Company is not required to file Current and Periodic Reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company is not a fully reporting company that is subject to review under Section 408 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  Furthermore, the Company is not subject to the going private rules and certain tender offer regulations, and the beneficial holders of the Company's securities do not need to report on acquisitions or depositions of the Company's securities or their plans regarding their influence and control over the Company.  Therefore, the Company's status a voluntary filer reduces investors' rights to access significant information regarding the Company and its controlling shareholders.

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.
