  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The market price for IMAC common stock following the closing may be affected by factors different from those that historically have affected or currently affect IMAC common stock and Theralink common stock.

    Upon completion of the Merger, Theralink equity holders who receive IMAC common stock will become shareholders of IMAC. IMAC's financial position may differ from its financial position before the completion of the Merger, and the results of operations of the combined company may be affected by some factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of IMAC and those currently affecting the results of operations of Theralink. Accordingly, the market price and performance of IMAC common stock is likely to be different from the performance of Theralink common stock or IMAC common stock in the absence of the Merger.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Because the market price of IMAC common stock will fluctuate prior to the consummation of the Merger, Theralink stockholders cannot be sure of the market value of IMAC common stock that they will receive in the Merger.

    At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of common stock ("Theralink Common Stock") and each share of preferred stock of Theralink (together with the Theralink Common Stock, "Theralink Shares") issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and will thereafter represent the right to receive a portion of a share of common stock of IMAC, par value $0.001 (the "IMAC Shares") such that the total number of IMAC Shares issued to the holders of Theralink Shares shall equal 85% of the total number of IMAC Shares outstanding as of the Effective Time (the "Merger Consideration"). The Exchange Ratio is fixed (subject to adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement), which means that it will not change between now and the closing date, regardless of whether the market price of either IMAC common stock or Theralink common stock changes. Therefore, the value of the Merger Consideration will depend on the market price of IMAC common stock at the Effective Time. The respective market prices of both IMAC common stock and Theralink common stock have fluctuated since the date of the announcement of the parties' entry into the Merger Agreement and will continue to fluctuate. The market price of IMAC common stock, when received by Theralink equity holders after the Merger is completed, could be greater than, less than or the same as the market price of IMAC common stock on the date of this annual report.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Our directors and executive officers have interests in the Merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of the Theralink equity holders generally.

    In considering the recommendation of our board that Theralink equity holders vote in favor of the Merger Proposal, Theralink equity holders should be aware of and consider the fact that, aside from their interests as Theralink equity holders, certain Theralink directors and executive officers have interests in the Merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Theralink equity holders generally. These interests include, among others, rights to continuing indemnification and directors' and officers' liability insurance. Our board was aware of and considered these potential interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, in approving the merger and in recommending that Theralink equity holders approve the Merger Proposal.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Theralink equity holders will not be entitled to appraisal rights in the Merger.

    Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, our equity holders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Merger.

  • Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 5
    The Merger may not be completed, and the Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms, and failure to complete the merger could negatively impact Theralink's common stock price and have other adverse effects.

    IMAC or Theralink may elect to terminate the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms in certain circumstances. If the Merger is not completed for any reason, including if the IMAC shareholders fail to approve the applicable proposals, the ongoing business of Theralink may be materially adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Merger, we would be subject to a number of risks, including the following: - Theralink may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on our unit price;   - Theralink may experience negative reactions from our customers, suppliers, vendors, landlords, joint venture co-members and other business relationships;   - We will still be required to pay certain significant costs relating to the Merger, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor and printing fees;   - We may be required to pay a termination fee as required by the Merger Agreement;   - The Merger Agreement places certain restrictions on the conduct of the business pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, which may delay or prevent us from undertaking business opportunities that, absent the Merger Agreement, may have been pursued;   - Matters relating to the Merger (including integration planning) require substantial commitments of time and resources by our management, which may have resulted in the distraction of our management from ongoing business operations and pursuing other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us; and   - Litigation related to any failure to complete the Merger or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against Theralink to perform our obligations pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

  • Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 6
    The Merger is subject to various closing conditions, and any delay in completing the Merger may reduce or eliminate the benefits expected and delay the payment of the Merger Consideration to Theralink equity holders.

    The Merger is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions beyond the parties' control that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect the completion of the Merger. These conditions include, among other things, IMAC shareholder approval of the issuance of IMAC Common Stock in connection with the Merger. IMAC and Theralink cannot predict with certainty whether or when any of these conditions will be satisfied. Any delay in completing the Merger could cause the combined company not to realize, or delay the realization, of some or all of the benefits that the companies expect to achieve from the Merger. In such context, when or if Theralink's equity holders will receive the Merger Consideration is also uncertain.

  • Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 7
    The Merger Agreement limits our ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger, which may discourage other companies from making a favorable alternative transaction proposal.

    The Merger Agreement contains certain provisions that restrict our ability to directly or indirectly solicit competing acquisition proposals or to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an acquisition proposal, and we have agreed to certain terms and conditions relating to our ability to engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions with respect to, provide a third party confidential information with respect to or enter into any acquisition agreement with respect to certain unsolicited proposals that constitute or are reasonably likely to lead to a competing proposal. These provisions could discourage a potential third-party acquirer that might have an interest in us from considering or pursuing an alternative transaction with us or proposing such a transaction, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share value than the total value proposed to be paid or received in the merger.

  • Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 8
    We are expected to incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Merger, which may be in excess of those anticipated by us.

    We have incurred and are expected to continue to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with negotiating and completing the Merger, related transactions, combining the operations of the two companies and achieving desired synergies. These costs have been, and will continue to be, substantial and, in many cases, will be borne by us whether or not the Merger is completed. A substantial majority of non-recurring expenses will consist of transaction costs and include, among others, fees paid to financial, legal, accounting, and other advisors, employee retention and benefit costs, and filing fees. We will continue to assess the magnitude of these costs, and additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in connection with the Merger and the integration of the two companies' businesses. While we have assumed that a certain level of expense would be incurred, there are many factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the expenses. The elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may not offset integration-related costs and achieve a net benefit in the near term, or at all.

  • Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 9
    The failure to successfully combine the businesses of IMAC and Theralink in the expected time frame may adversely affect IMAC's future results, which may adversely affect the value of the IMAC common stock that Theralink equity holders would receive in the Merger.

    The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on the ability of IMAC to realize the anticipated benefits from combining the businesses of IMAC and Theralink. To realize these anticipated benefits, IMAC's and Theralink's businesses must be successfully combined. If the combined company is not able to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. In addition, the actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, which could reduce the anticipated benefits of the merger. IMAC and Theralink, including their respective subsidiaries, have operated and, until the completion of the Merger, will continue to operate independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, as well as the disruption of each company's ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in their standards, controls, procedures and policies. Any or all of those occurrences could adversely affect the combined company's ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees after the Merger or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger. Integration efforts between the two companies will also divert management attention and resources.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    We are subject to the "penny stock" rules, which means brokers cannot generally solicit the purchase of our common stock, which adversely affects its liquidity and market price.

    The SEC has adopted regulations, which generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock on the OTC has been substantially less than $5.00 per share and therefore we are currently considered a "penny stock" according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker-dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules limit the ability of broker-dealers to solicit purchases of our common stock and therefore reduce the liquidity in the public markets for our shares. In addition to the "penny stock" rules, FINRA has adopted FINRA Rule 2111, which requires a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer before recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Trading on the OTC Markets is volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares. The market for our common stock is limited and persons who purchase our common stock may not be able to resell their shares at or above the purchase price paid by them.

    Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors, some of which may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Markets are not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like the NASDAQ or a stock exchange like the New York Stock Exchange. The OTC Markets are not liquid markets. There is currently only a limited public market for our common stock. We cannot assure you that an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained in the future. If an active market for our common stock does not develop or is not sustained, the price may decline. These factors may result in investors having difficulty reselling any shares of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Theralink equity holders will not be entitled to appraisal rights in the Merger.

    Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, our equity holders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Merger.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    Market volatility may affect our stock price, and the value of an investment in our common stock may be subject to sudden decreases.

    The trading price for our common stock has been, and we expect it to continue to be, volatile. The price at which our common stock trades depends on a number of factors, including the following, many of which are beyond our control: - the relative success of our commercialization efforts for Theralink;         - our historical and anticipated operating results, including fluctuations in our financial and operating results or failure to meet revenue projections;         - changes in government regulations affecting our technology, reimbursement or other aspects of our or our competitors' businesses;         - announcements of technological innovations or new commercial products by us or our competitors;         - developments concerning our key personnel;         - our ability to protect our intellectual property, including in the face of changing laws;         - announcements regarding significant collaborations or strategic alliances;         - publicity regarding actual or potential performance of our technology under development;         - market perception of the prospects for biotechnology companies as an industry sector; and         - general market and economic conditions. During periods of extreme stock market price volatility, share prices of many biotechnology companies have often fluctuated in a manner not necessarily related to their individual operating performance. Furthermore, historically our common stock has experienced greater price volatility than the stock market as a whole.

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.
