  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The Company has entered into a Rights Agreement, and if the holders exercise their share purchase rights under such agreement, it could materially adversely affect the price of our common stock and cause dilution to our existing stockholders.

    On June 8, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted a Rights Agreement, dated June 9, 2025 (the "Rights Agreement"), entered into with Direct Transfer, LLC, as Rights Agent. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (each, a "Right") for each outstanding share of common stock of the Company. The Rights were distributable to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 23, 2025 (the "Record Date"). One Right will also be issued with respect to (i) each share of common stock that the holders of the Company's prefunded warrants outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date would be entitled to acquire upon complete exercise thereof and (ii) each share of common stock issued by the Company after the Record Date, but before the Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement) (or the earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights) and, in certain circumstances, after the Distribution Date. The Rights Agreement imposes a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of ten percent (10%) or more of our common stock without the approval of the Board of Directors. As a result, the overall effect of the Rights Agreement and the issuance of the Rights may be to render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination involving the Company that is not approved by the Board of Directors. The Rights Agreement is not intended to interfere with any merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination approved by the Board of Directors, nor does the Rights Agreement prevent the Board of Directors from considering whether an offer is in the best interest of its stockholders. The Rights have certain anti-takeover effects, including potentially discouraging a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable. The Rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire us on terms not approved by the Board of Directors. The Rights and the Rights Agreement will expire on the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which all of the Rights are redeemed, (ii) the date on which the Rights are exchanged, and (iii) the close of business on June 9, 2026.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Our business could be negatively affected as a result of actions of activist stockholders.

    While we strive to maintain constructive communications with our stockholders, activist stockholders have and may, from time to time, engage in proxy solicitations or advance shareholder proposals, or otherwise attempt to effect changes and assert influence on our Board and management. Perceived uncertainties as to the future direction or governance of the Company may cause concern to our current or potential regulators, vendors or strategic partners, or make it more difficult to execute on our strategy or to attract and retain qualified personnel, which may have a material impact on our business and operating results.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The market price of our common stock may continue to fluctuate significantly.

    We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock may trade. The market price of our common stock has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate widely, depending on many factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including but not limited to: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results due to factors related to our business;- success or failure of our business strategy;- the success of third-party gaming platforms and certain game titles to drive sales;- our quarterly or annual earnings, or those of other companies in our industry;- changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts or our ability to meet those estimates;- our ability to execute transformation, restructuring and realignment actions;- the announcement and integration of any acquisitions we may make;- the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies;- factors outside our control affecting interactive gaming, entertainment and/or technology companies generally;- actions of or engagement with stockholder activists;- comments by securities analysts or other third parties, including in articles, letters and other media;- speculation in the press about the future of our Company or our industry;- overall market fluctuations; and - general economic conditions and other external factors. Stock markets in general have experienced volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company. These broad market fluctuations could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to periodically enter the market on the belief that we may experience worse results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our common stock will be stable or appreciate over time.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    We have been party to stockholder litigation, and in the future could be party to additional stockholder litigation, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

    We have had, and may continue to have, actions brought against us by stockholders based on past transactions, changes in our stock price or other matters. Any such claims, whether or not resolved in our favor, could divert our management and other resources from the operation of our business and otherwise result in unexpected and substantial expenses that would adversely and materially impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

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.
