Risk Change Over Time
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split may not achieve its intended effect and may adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock.
On March 26, 2026, we effected the 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of our outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 50,000,000 to approximately 2,507,537. Although the Reverse Stock Split was effected to, among other things, raise the per-share trading price of our common stock to allow for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will have the desired effect of sufficiently raising the per-share trading price of our common stock over the long term, that any resulting price level will be maintained, or that the Reverse Stock Split will not adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock. In addition, the reduction in the number of outstanding shares may decrease trading volume, increase price volatility, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, on June 12, 2026, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect, at the discretion of our Board of Directors, an additional reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of between 1-for-5 and 1-for-10. If our Board of Directors effects such a reverse stock split, it would further reduce the number of our outstanding shares of common stock and would be subject to the same risks described above, and there can be no assurance that it would achieve its intended effects.
- Debt & Financing - Risk 2We will need to raise additional capital to support our long-term business plans and our failure to obtain funding when needed may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our development plans.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, our operating activities used net cash of $5,103,907 and as of June 30, 2026, our cash was $2,160,288. We have experienced significant losses since inception and have a significant accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2026 totaling $49,760,186. We expect to incur additional operating losses in the future and therefore expect our cumulative losses to increase. To date, we have not derived substantial revenue from the properties we own or have an interest in. We expect to potentially generate revenue through our growth of our compost and logistics businesses and sales of property, if any. There is uncertainty as to our ability to monetize our real estate properties or to generate sales proceeds. We expect our expenses to increase as operations increase from our compost and logistics businesses. Although we have raised approximately $21.3 million from the sale of securities in the past twelve months, unless we generate significant revenue from our compost and logistics businesses, we believe we will need to raise additional capital to fund our business expansion plans and we cannot be certain that funding will be available to us on acceptable terms on a timely basis, or at all. To meet our financing needs, we are considering multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to, additional equity and debt financings. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we do not have any committed sources of financing other than the funding of the Second April 2026 Notes if the conditions to funding are met. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Second Closing has not been completed, and no assurances can be provided that the Second Closing will be completed. Additionally, although the April 2026 Purchase Agreement provides for the funding of an additional $87,000,000, such funding is subject to the Purchasers' discretion and our ability to meet certain conditions and there can be no assurance that we will be able to access such funding. Our ability to raise capital through the sale of securities may be limited by various rules of the SEC and Nasdaq that place limits on the number and dollar amount of securities that we may sell. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity or debt securities, which will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may impact our ability to conduct our business. Our current outstanding debentures prohibit us from engaging in certain types of financing while the debentures are outstanding. If we fail to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to complete planned development work.
- Debt & Financing - Risk 3Under the February 2026 Purchase Agreement and April 2026 Purchase Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictive covenants that may make it difficult to procure additional financing.
The February 2026 Purchase Agreement and April 2026 Purchase Agreement contain restrictive covenants which restrict our ability to issue securities or file additional registration statements. If we require additional funding while these restrictive covenants remain in effect, we may be unable to effect a financing transaction on terms acceptable to us, or at all, while also remaining in compliance with the terms of the respective purchase agreements, or we may be forced to seek a waiver from the purchasers party to the February 2026 and April 2026 Purchase Agreements, which such purchasers are not obligated to grant to us.

- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1ChangedThe 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split may not achieve its intended effect and may adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock.
On March 26, 2026, we effected the 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of our outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 50,000,000 to approximately 2,507,537. Although the Reverse Stock Split was effected to, among other things, raise the per-share trading price of our common stock to allow for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will have the desired effect of sufficiently raising the per-share trading price of our common stock over the long term, that any resulting price level will be maintained, or that the Reverse Stock Split will not adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock. In addition, the reduction in the number of outstanding shares may decrease trading volume, increase price volatility, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, on June 12, 2026, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect, at the discretion of our Board of Directors, an additional reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of between 1-for-5 and 1-for-10. If our Board of Directors effects such a reverse stock split, it would further reduce the number of our outstanding shares of common stock and would be subject to the same risks described above, and there can be no assurance that it would achieve its intended effects.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2AddedIf we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, our Common Stock may be delisted and the price of our Common Stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.
Our Common Stock is currently listed for trading on Nasdaq. We must satisfy Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum stockholders' equity of?$2.5 million and a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share or risk delisting, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. A delisting of our Common Stock from Nasdaq could materially reduce the liquidity of our Common Stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our Common Stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. On January 26, 2026, we received a letter from Nasdaq notifying us that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (December 5, 2025 through January 20, 2026), our Common Stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) ("Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). The notice had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our Common Stock, which continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "RENX." In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until July 27, 2026, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). On December 8, 2025, our stockholders approved and authorized us to amend our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-5 to 1-for-20, and on March 26, 2026, we effected the 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our then-outstanding Common Stock. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) states that any listed company that fails to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period, or has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, will not be eligible for an automatic 180-day grace compliance period and the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department is obligated to immediately issue a delisting determination if it should fail to meet any continued listing requirements. Therefore, if we were to fail to meet any continued listing requirements within the applicable time periods we would immediately be issued a delisting determination. Further, the Nasdaq rule provides that a company will not be considered to have regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement if the company takes an action to achieve compliance (such as a reverse split) and that action results in its security falling below the numeric threshold for another listing requirement. On April 10, 2026, we received written notice ("Listing Notification") from the Listing Qualifications staff of Nasdaq notifying us that we had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires that companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. Nasdaq notified the Company in the Listing Notification that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from March 26, 2026 through April 9, 2026, the closing bid price of our Common Stock had been at $1.00 per share or greater and, accordingly, we had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and that the matter was now closed. Additionally, Nasdaq recently proposed a new rule change (as amended on June 18, 2026) to (i) adopt Listing Rules 5450(a)(3) and 5550(a)(6) to require issuers listed on the Nasdaq Global and Capital Markets, respectively, to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5005(a)(23)) of at least $5.0 million for a period of 30 consecutive business days, and (ii) amend Rule 5810 to suspend trading and immediately delist from Nasdaq securities of issuers that do not satisfy the proposed new requirements, and Rule 5815 to set forth the procedures for requesting a hearing before a Hearings Panel and the scope of the Panel's discretion (collectively, the "Proposed $5 Million MVLS Rule"). On April 28, 2026, the SEC notified Nasdaq that it had determined to delay the implementation of the new standards to seek additional public feedback on the Proposed $5 Million MVLS Rule, providing the public at least 21 days to comment on the proposed rule. On July 22, 2026, the SEC approved the Proposed $5M MVLS Rule, permitting Nasdaq to implement the rule. However, subsequently on July 29, 2026, the implementation of the Proposed $5 Million MVLS Rule was automatically stayed after notices of petition were filed. As of August 11, 2026, the market value of our listed securities was approximately $5.2 million. If the stay on the implementation of the Proposed $5 Million MVLS Rule is lifted and the market value of our listed securities does not meet the $5.0 million requirement as of the date it goes into effect, our securities will be subject to delisting. There is no assurance that we will maintain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. If our Common Stock were delisted from Nasdaq, trading of our Common Stock would most likely take place on an over-the-counter market established for unlisted securities, such as the OTCQB or the Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. An investor would likely find it less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy, our Common Stock on an over-the-counter market, and many investors would likely not buy or sell our Common Stock due to difficulty in accessing over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange or other reasons. In addition, as a delisted security, our Common Stock would be subject to SEC rules as a "penny stock," which impose additional disclosure requirements on broker-dealers. The regulations relating to penny stocks, coupled with the typically higher cost per trade to the investor of penny stocks due to factors such as broker commissions generally representing a higher percentage of the price of a penny stock than of a higher-priced stock, would further limit the ability of investors to trade in our Common Stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. For these reasons and others, delisting would adversely affect the liquidity, trading volume and price of our Common Stock, causing the value of an investment in us to decrease and having an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and to raise capital.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3AddedA single holder affiliated with a member of our Board of Directors holds shares of Series C Preferred Stock representing substantial voting power, which allows it to exert significant influence over us.
In June 2026, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we issued 7,169 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase up to 619,084 shares of Common Stock to Index Equity US, LLC, an entity managed by Bjarne Borg, a member of our Board of Directors, in exchange for the extinguishment of approximately $7.2 million of related-party indebtedness. The Series C Preferred Stock votes together with our Common Stock as a single class on an as-converted basis, subject to the applicable beneficial ownership limitation, which is currently set at 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock as if such shares of Series C Preferred had been converted but may be increased up to 19.99% at the election of the holder. As a result, Index Equity US, LLC has significant voting power. Additionally, the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock have consent rights over certain corporate actions, including the creation of securities ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series C Preferred Stock. As a result, Index Equity US, LLC is able to exert significant influence over matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders and over corporate actions requiring the consent of the Series C Preferred Stock, and its interests may differ from those of our other stockholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4AddedBeginning on or about September 1, 2026, the April 2026 Notes may be converted into shares of our Common Stock at prices below the prevailing market price, which could result in substantial dilution and could depress the trading price of our Common Stock.
The holders of the April 2026 Notes have the right, at any time after the later of (i) the date of receipt of stockholder approval, which was obtained on June 12, 2026, and (ii) 120 calendar days following the Initial Closing Date (September 1, 2026) to convert their April 2026 Notes, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock in an Alternate Conversion at a conversion price equal to the greater of (x) the April 2026 Note Floor Price of $0.534 and (y) 92% of the lowest volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock during the ten trading days preceding the applicable conversion. Because Alternate Conversions are priced at a discount to prevailing market prices, they may result in the issuance of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock at prices below the then-current market price of our Common Stock, would dilute the interests of our existing stockholders, and could place sustained downward pressure on the trading price of our Common Stock, particularly if holders convert and sell shares of Common Stock on a recurring basis. If the price of our Common Stock were to decline to the April 2026 Note Floor Price, the $6,300,000 aggregate principal amount of the Initial April 2026 Notes, without giving effect to accrued interest, would be convertible into in excess of 11 million shares of Common Stock, and the Second April 2026 Notes, if issued, would be subject to the same terms.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5AddedA registration default under the Registration Rights Agreement we entered into in connection with the April 2026 Private Placement could result in liquidated damages obligations that would adversely affect our cash position.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (the "April 2026 RRA") that we entered into with the investors in connection with the April 2026 Private Placement, we are obligated to file and maintain the effectiveness of one or more registration statements covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Initial April 2026 Notes and Second April 2026 Notes, additional shares of our Common Stock that may become issuable under the Initial April 2026 Notes and Second April 2026 Notes as a result of an Alternate Conversion, as well certain additional shares of our Common Stock that may be issuable upon conversion or exercise of convertible promissory notes and warrants that we may sell and issue to the purchasers pursuant to the April 2026 Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the April 2026 RRA, if we fail to satisfy our registration obligations under the April 2026 RRA, including by failing to file or obtain or maintain the effectiveness of the required registration statements within specified time frames, we may be required to pay liquidated damages to the investors. Unless waived by the investors, we will be required to pay liquidated damages due to our failure to fulfill all of our obligations under the April 2026 RRA.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a delisting of our Common Stock.
Our shares of Common Stock are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, such as the corporate governance requirements, minimum bid price requirement or the minimum stockholder's equity requirement, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC may take steps to delist our Common Stock. Any delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair stockholders' ability to sell or purchase their Common Stock when they wish to do so. On January 26, 2026, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying us that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (December 5, 2025 through January 20, 2026), our Common Stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). The notice had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our Common Stock, which continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "RENX." In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until July 27, 2026, to regain compliance. Compliance may be achieved if the closing bid price of our Common Stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the compliance period; however, Nasdaq may require the closing bid price to equal or exceed $1.00 for more than ten consecutive business days before determining compliance. If we do not achieve compliance by July 27, 2026, we may be eligible for an additional compliance period, provided we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and notify Nasdaq in writing of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. We intend to actively monitor the bid price of our Common Stock and will consider available options to regain compliance, including effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, to maintain our Nasdaq listing. In addition, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) mandates immediate, accelerated delisting procedures for any company whose closing bid price remains at or below $0.10 for ten consecutive trading days. On March 24,2026 the closing price of our common stock was below $0.10 On March 26, 2026, we effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our then-outstanding Common Stock. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) states that any listed company that fails to meet the minimum bid price requirement and has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period, or has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, will not be eligible for an automatic 180-day grace compliance period and the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department is obligated to immediately issue a delisting determination if it should fail to meet any continued listing requirements. Therefore, if we were to fail to meet any continued listing requirements we would immediately be issued a delisting determination. Further, the Nasdaq rule provides that a company will not be considered to have regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement if the company takes an action to achieve compliance (such as a reverse split) and that action results in the Company's security falling below the numeric threshold for another listing requirement. In order to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the closing bid price of our Common Stock must be $1.00 per share or greater for a minimum period of 10 consecutive days (which may be subject to extension by Nasdaq, in their discretion) after completion of the reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement within the applicable compliance period or at all. Additionally, Nasdaq has recently proposed a new rule change to (i) adopt Listing Rules 5450(a)(3) and 5550(a)(6) to require issuers listed on the Nasdaq Global and Capital Markets, respectively, to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5005(a)(23)) of at least $5 million for a period of 30 consecutive business days, and (ii) amend Rule5810 to suspend trading and immediately delist from Nasdaq securities of issuers that do not satisfy the proposed new requirements, and Rule 5815 to set forth the procedures for requesting a hearing before a Hearings Panel and the scope of the Panel's discretion (collectively, the "Proposed $5 Million MVLS Rule"). As of the date of the filing of this Annual Report the market value of our listed securities is less than $5 million. If the SEC approves the Proposed $5 Million MVSL Rule, the market value of our listed securities does not meet the $5.0 million requirement as of the date it goes into effect, our securities will be subject to delisting. If a delisting were to occur, our Common Stock would be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our Common Stock. This would adversely affect the ability of investors to trade our Common Stock and would adversely affect the value of our Common Stock. Delisting from Nasdaq would cause us to pursue eligibility for trading of our Common Stock on other markets or exchanges, or on an over-the-counter market. In such case, our stockholders' ability to trade or obtain quotations of the market value of our Common Stock would be severely limited because of lower trading volumes and transaction delays. These factors could contribute to lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices of these securities. There can be no assurance that our Common Stock, if delisted from the Nasdaq, would be listed on a national securities exchange, a national quotation service or the over-the-counter markets. Delisting from the Nasdaq could also result in negative publicity, adversely affect the market liquidity of our Common Stock, decrease securities analysts' coverage of us or diminish investor, supplier and employee confidence. In addition, our stock could become a "penny stock," which would make trading of our Common Stock more difficult. If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange at some future date, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: - a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;- reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;- a determination that our Common Stock is a "penny stock" which will require brokers trading in our ordinary shares to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our ordinary shares;- a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and - a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7We cannot be certain that an active trading market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained and our stock price may fluctuate significantly.
We cannot guarantee that we can sustain an active trading market for our Common Stock, nor can we predict the prices at which shares of our Common Stock may trade. Until the market has fully evaluated our business as a standalone entity, the prices at which shares of our Common Stock trade may fluctuate more significantly than might otherwise be typical, even with other market conditions, including general volatility, held constant. The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;- changes in earnings estimated by securities analysts or our ability to meet those estimates;- the operating and stock price performance of comparable companies;- changes to the regulatory and legal environment under which we operate; and - domestic and worldwide economic conditions. If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline. The trading market for our securities will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If only a limited number of securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our Company, the trading price for our securities would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes unfavorable research about our business, our stock price may decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our Company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our securities could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and we are taking advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), and are taking 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. 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 registration statement under the Securities Act 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 an 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 that has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (b) in which we have total annual revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which generally means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year's second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to "emerging growth company" have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act. Additionally, we are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of any fiscal year for so long as either (1) the market value of our shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates did not equal or exceed $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (2) our annual revenues did not equal or exceed $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates did not equal or exceed $700 million as of the prior December 31. Because we are subject to the above listed reduced reporting requirements, investors may not be able to compare us to other companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9Your percentage ownership in us may be diluted by future issuances.
We currently have 3,046,081 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of existing securities. We also expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent these existing securities are converted into or exercised for shares of Common Stock or we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. Pursuant to the Company's 2023 Incentive Compensation Plan (our "2023 Plan"), our management may grant equity awards to our employees, directors and consultants. We may sell Common Stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time, any of which may result in material dilution to our existing stockholders. New investors could also be issued securities with rights superior to those of our existing stockholders. Such future equity issuances will have a dilutive effect on the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, and therefore on our earnings per share, which could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, if we issue additional convertible debentures and the debentures are converted into shares of Common Stock, stockholders will experience additional dilution.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10Our stockholders experienced dilution as a result of the acquisition of Resource Group, and they may not realize a benefit from the acquisition commensurate with the ownership dilution they experienced in connection therewith.
In connection with our acquisition of Resource Group, we paid to the members of Resource Group consideration including the RG Closing Shares and the RG Convertible Note, which is convertible into shares of restricted Common Stock. The issuance of the Closing Shares had, and the issuance of shares upon conversion of the RG Convertible Note will have, the effect of diluting the ownership interests of our existing stockholders. If we are unable to realize the full strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the acquisition of Resource Group, our stockholders will may experience substantial dilution of their ownership interests in our company without receiving any commensurate benefit, or only receiving part of the commensurate benefit to the extent we are able to realize only part of the strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the acquisition.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future, which could make it difficult for another company to acquire us or could otherwise adversely affect holders of our Common Stock, which could depress the price of our Common Stock.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue one or more series of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors has the authority to determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our preferred stock could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to the rights of our Common Stock. The potential issuance of preferred stock may delay or prevent a change in control of us, discouraging bids for our Common Stock at a premium to the market price, and materially adversely affect the market price and the voting and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock. Provisions in our corporate charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management. Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control of our company that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock, thereby depressing the market price of our Common Stock. 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 management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our Board of Directors. Among other things, these provisions provide: - our Board of Directors is divided into three classes, one class of which is elected each year by our stockholders with the directors in each class to serve for a three-year term;- the authorized number of directors can be changed only by resolution of our Board of Directors;- directors may be removed by stockholders only for cause;- our amended and restated bylaws may be amended or repealed by our Board of Directors or by the affirmative vote of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of our stockholders;- stockholders may not call special meetings of the stockholders or fill vacancies on the Board of Directors;- our Board of Directors will be authorized to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock, the rights of which will be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors and that, if issued, could operate as a "poison pill" to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer to prevent an acquisition that our Board of Directors does not approve;- our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, and therefore our stockholders holding a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding will be able to elect all of our directors; and - our stockholders must comply with advance notice provisions to bring business before or nominate directors for election at a stockholder meeting. Moreover, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a person who owns in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of our outstanding voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 12Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for certain types of state actions that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could 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, unless we consent to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. These exclusive-forum provisions may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, employees, control persons, underwriters, or agents, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, employees, control persons, underwriters, or agents. Additionally, a court could determine that the exclusive forum provision is unenforceable, and our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. If a court were to find these provisions of our bylaws inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 13Even though the Reverse Stock Split increased the market price of our Common Stock, there can be no assurance that our increased stock price will remain at a price that will be sufficient in order to meet any continued requirements and policies of the Nasdaq or that our Common Stock will remain listed on the Nasdaq.
There can be no assurance that the increased stock price resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will be maintained in order to allow us to continue to meet the requirements and policies of the Nasdaq or that our Common Stock will remain listed on the Nasdaq.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 14Following the Reverse Stock Split, the resulting market price of our Common Stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our Common Stock may not improve.
Although we believe that a higher market price of our Common Stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will result in a share price that will attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock will satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of our Common Stock may not necessarily improve.
