    Our ability to pay cash dividends is limited, and we may be unable to pay cash dividends in the future even if we elect to do so. future.

    We are dependent primarily upon the earnings of our operating subsidiaries for funds to pay dividends on our common shares. The payment of dividends by us is also subject to regulatory restrictions. As a result, any payment of dividends in the future will be dependent, in large part, on our ability to satisfy these regulatory restrictions and our subsidiaries' earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors. There can be no assurance as to if or when the Company may pay dividends or as to the amount of any dividends which may be declared and paid to shareholders in future periods. Failure to pay dividends on our shares could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    A limited trading market exists for our common shares, which could lead to price volatility.

    The ability to sell our common shares depends upon the existence of an active trading market for those shares. While our shares are listed for trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market, there is moderate trading volume in these shares. As a result, shareholders may be unable to sell our shares at the volume, price and time desired. The limited trading market for our shares may cause fluctuations in the market value of our shares to be exaggerated, leading to price volatility in excess of that which would occur in a more active trading market. In addition, even if a more active market of our shares should develop, we cannot guarantee that such a market will continue.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    The market price of our common shares may be subject to fluctuations and volatility.

    The market price of our common shares may fluctuate significantly due to, among other things, changes in market sentiment regarding our operations, financial results or business prospects, the banking industry generally or the macroeconomic outlook. Certain events or changes in the market or banking industry generally are beyond our control. In addition to the other risk factors contained or incorporated by reference herein, factors that could affect our trading price: - our actual or anticipated operating and financial results, including how those results vary from the expectations of management, securities analysts and investors;- changes in financial estimates or publications of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts or actions taken by rating agencies with respect to us or other financial institutions;- failure to declare dividends on our common shares from time to time;- reports in the press or investment community generally or relating to our reputation or the financial services industry;- developments in our business or operations or in the financial sector generally;- any future offerings by us of our common shares;- any future offerings by us of debt or preferred shares, which would be senior to our common shares upon liquidation and for purposes of dividend distributions;- legislative or regulatory changes affecting our industry generally or our business and operations specifically;- the operating and share price performance of companies that investors consider to be comparable to us;- announcements of strategic developments, acquisitions, restructurings, dispositions, financings and other material events by us or our competitors;- actions by our current shareholders, including future sales of common shares by existing shareholders, including our directors and executive officers;- proposed or final regulatory changes or developments;- anticipated or pending regulatory investigations, proceedings, or litigation that may involve or affect us; and - other changes in U.S. or global financial markets, global economies and general market conditions, such as interest or foreign exchange rates, stock, commodity, credit or asset valuations or volatility. Equity markets in general and our common shares have experienced volatility over the past few years. The market price of our common shares may continue to be subject to volatility unrelated to our operating performance or business prospects, which could result in a decline in the market price of our common shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Investors could become subject to regulatory restrictions upon ownership of our common shares.

    Under the federal Change in Bank Control Act, a person may be required to obtain prior approval from the Federal Reserve Board before acquiring 10 percent or more of our common shares or the power to directly or indirectly control our management, operations, or policies.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    We have implemented anti-takeover devices that could make it more difficult for another company to purchase us, even though such a purchase may increase shareholder value.

    In many cases, shareholders may receive a premium for their shares if we were purchased by another company. Ohio law and our Amended Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated Regulations, as amended, make it difficult for anyone to purchase us without the approval of our Board of Directors. Consequently, a takeover attempt may prove difficult, and shareholders may not realize the highest possible price for their securities.

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.
