    If we are classified as a passive foreign investment company, United States taxpayers who own our Ordinary Shares may have adverse United States federal income tax consequences.

    A non-U.S. corporation such as ourselves will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which is known as a PFIC, for any taxable year if, for such year, either: - at least 75% of our gross income for the year is passive income; or     - the average percentage of our assets (determined at the end of each quarter) during the taxable year which produce passive income or which are held for the production of passive income is at least 50%. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business), and gains from the disposition of passive assets. If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. taxpayer who holds our Ordinary Shares, the U.S. taxpayer may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. It is possible that, for our 2023 taxable year or for any subsequent year, more than 50% of our assets may be assets which produce passive income, in which case we would be deemed a PFIC, which could have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. taxpayers who are shareholders. We will make this determination following the end of any particular tax year. For purposes of the PFIC analysis, in general, a non-U.S. corporation is deemed to own its pro rata share of the gross income and assets of any entity in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the equity by value. For a more detailed discussion of the application of the PFIC rules to us and the consequences to U.S. taxpayers if we were or are determined to be a PFIC, see "Material Income Tax Consideration - United States Federal Income Taxation - PFIC."

    You may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders.

    The Companies Act does not provide shareholders with any right to requisition a general meeting or to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company's articles of association. Our articles of association allow our shareholders holding shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-tenth of all votes attaching to all of our issued and outstanding shares, to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our board of directors is obliged to call such meeting. Advance notice of at least ten (10) clear days is required for the convening of any general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders, present in person or by proxy, holding shares which carry in aggregate in excess of 50% of all votes attaching to all of our shares in issue and entitled to vote at such meeting.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The laws of the Cayman Islands may not provide our shareholders with benefits comparable to those provided to shareholders of corporations incorporated in the United States.

    Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, by the Cayman Companies Act and by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by minority shareholders, and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law in the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands and from English common law. Decisions of the Privy Council (which is the final Court of Appeal for British overseas territories such as the Cayman Islands) are binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. Decisions of the English courts, and particularly the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal are generally of persuasive authority but are not binding in the courts of the Cayman Islands. Decisions of courts in other Commonwealth jurisdictions are similarly of persuasive but not binding authority. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws relative to the United States. Therefore, our public shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests in the face of actions by our management, directors, or controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States.

    As a "controlled company" under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we may choose to exempt our Company from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public shareholders.

    Mr. Otsuki beneficially owns 2,000,000 Series A Preferred Shares (which are entitled to twenty-five (25) votes on any matter or which action of the shareholders of the Company is sought) and 20,351,565 Ordinary Shares and is able to exercise over a majority of our voting power. Under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 5615(c), a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a "controlled company". A "controlled company" may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirement that a majority of our directors be independent, as defined in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, the requirement that our director nominees must be selected or recommended to the board of directors for determination, by either a Nominating Committee comprised solely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors, the requirement that we have a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the nominations process and such related matters as may be required under the federal securities laws, and the requirement that compensation of the chief executive officer must be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a Compensation Committee comprised of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on its board of directors and that compensation for all other officers must be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by such Compensation Committee or a majority of the independent directors on the company's board of directors. Although we do not intend to rely on the "controlled company" exemption under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, we could elect to rely on this exemption in the future. If we elect to rely on the "controlled company" exemption, a majority of the members of our board of directors might not be independent directors and our nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, during any time while we remain a controlled company relying on the exemption and during any transition period following a time when we are no longer a controlled company, you would not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules corporate governance requirements. Our status as a controlled company could cause our common shares to look less attractive to certain investors or otherwise harm our trading price.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Because we are an "emerging growth company," we may not be subject to requirements that other public companies are subject to, which could affect investor confidence in us and our Ordinary Shares.

    For as long as we remain an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, we will elect to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies," including 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 shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Because of these lessened regulatory requirements, our shareholders would be left without information or rights available to shareholders of more mature companies. If some investors find our Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Ordinary Shares and our share price may be more volatile. See "Implications of Our Being an ‘Emerging Growth Company.'"

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    We are an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this will make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

    We are an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. 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 Securities Act registration statement 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 will make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    If we cannot continue to satisfy the listing requirements and other rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our securities may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of our securities and your ability to sell them.

    Our Ordinary Shares are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we are required to comply with certain rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, including those regarding minimum stockholders' equity, minimum share price, minimum market value of publicly held shares, and various additional requirements. If we are unable to satisfy the Nasdaq Capital Market criteria for maintaining our listing, our securities could be subject to delisting. If the Nasdaq Capital Market delists our securities from trading, we could face significant consequences, including: - a limited availability for market quotations for our securities;     - reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;     - a determination that our Ordinary Shares are a "penny stock," which will require brokers trading in our Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Ordinary Shares;     - limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and     - a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

    We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Our corporate affairs are governed by our Second Amended Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. We will also be subject to the U.S. securities laws. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors and us, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are governed by our Second Amended Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands (as compared to the U.S. law) as well as from English common law. The decisions of the English courts are of highly persuasive authority, but are not binding on Cayman Islands courts (except for those decisions handed down from the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council to the extent that these have been appealed from the Cayman Islands courts). The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law are broadly similar to those in other common law jurisdictions, but there may be differences in the statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws than the United States, and provide significantly less protection to investors. In addition, if shareholders want to proceed against us outside of the Cayman Islands, they will need to demonstrate that they have the standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. There is no guarantee that the courts of the Cayman Islands would automatically recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state. In addition, the courts of the Cayman Islands will not recognize and enforce a judgment predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are taxes, fines or penal in nature, or otherwise contrary to public policy, including punitive damages.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9
    If we cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer, we would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, and we would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not incur as a foreign private issuer.

    As a foreign private issuer, we will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will not be required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States domestic issuers, and we will not be required to disclose in our periodic reports all of the information that United States domestic issuers are required to disclose. While we currently qualify as a foreign private issuer, we may cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer in the future, in which case we would incur significant additional expenses that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10
    We may experience extreme stock price volatility unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition, or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares.

    Recently, there have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with a number of recent initial public offerings, especially among companies with relatively smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalization company with relatively small public float, we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades, and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any stock run-up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition, or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, if the trading volumes of our Ordinary Shares are low, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of our Ordinary Shares. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any trading day session. Holders of our Ordinary Shares may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Ordinary Shares. A decline in the market price of our Ordinary Shares also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional Ordinary Shares or other securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. No assurance can be given that an active market in our Ordinary Shares will develop or be sustained. If an active market does not develop, holders of our Ordinary Shares may be unable to readily sell the shares they hold or may be unable to sell their shares at all.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11
    Holders of our Series A Preferred Shares have significant influence over us, including control over decisions that require the approval of holders of our common share.

    Mr. Otsuki holds our Series A Preferred Shares and controls, in the aggregate with the Ordinary Shares, approximately 70.48% of the voting power represented by all our outstanding shares of share capital. As a result, the holder(s) of our Series A Preferred Shares will continue to exercise significant influence over all matters on which holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote, including the election and removal of directors, amendments to our amended and restated articles of incorporation or amended and restated articles of association, and any approval of significant corporate transactions (including a sale of all or substantially all of our assets), and will continue to have significant control over our business, affairs, and policies, including the appointment of our management, through their influence over the board composition. The directors, whom the holder(s) of our Series A Preferred Shares will have the ability to elect through their voting power, will have the authority to incur additional debt, issue or repurchase shares, declare dividends, and make other decisions that could be detrimental to shareholders. We expect that Mr. Otsuki, our executive director, will continue to be a holder of our Series A Preferred Shares. The holder(s) of our Series A Preferred Shares can take actions that have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us or discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares, which could prevent shareholders from receiving a premium for their shares. These actions may be taken even if other shareholders oppose them. The concentration of voting power with the holder(s) of our Series A Preferred Shares may have an adverse effect on the price of our Ordinary Shares. The holder(s) of our Series A Preferred Shares may have interests that are different from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and that may be adverse to your interests. As a result, for so long as certain members of our board will continue to be holders of our Series A Preferred Shares own a controlling or significant voting power in our issued and outstanding share capital, they generally will be able to control or significantly influence, directly or indirectly and subject to applicable law, all matters affecting us, including: - the election of directors;     - determinations with respect to our business direction and policies, including the appointment and removal of officers;     - determinations with respect to corporate transactions, such as mergers, business combinations, change in control transactions or the acquisition or the disposition of assets;     - our financing and dividend policy;     - determinations with respect to our tax returns; and     - compensation and benefits programs and other human resources policy decisions.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 12
    The market price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price.

    The market price of our Ordinary Shares may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenue and other operating results;     - the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections or our failure to meet these projections;     - actions of securities analysts who initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our Company, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;     - announcements by us or our competitors of significant services or features, technical innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments;- price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;     - lawsuits threatened or filed against us; and     - other events or factors, including those resulting from war or incidents of terrorism, or responses to these events. In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. Stock prices of many companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, stockholders have filed securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business, and adversely affect our business.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 13
    If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they publish a negative report regarding our Ordinary Shares, the price of our Ordinary Shares and trading volume could decline.

    Any trading market for our Ordinary Shares may depend in part on the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade us, the price of our Ordinary Shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price of our Ordinary Shares and the trading volume to decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 14
    Substantial future sales of our Ordinary Shares, including the Ordinary Shares that may be registered for resale in the future, could cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to decline.

    Sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market, including the potential resale of Ordinary Shares that may be offered for resale in the future, could cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to decline. Any Ordinary Shares offered for resale in the future may introduce risks such as increased market volatility or downward pressure on your share price. Further, while our directors and officers named in the section "Management," and certain shareholders have agreed not to sell any shares until 180 days after the date our Ordinary Shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market without the prior written consent of the underwriter (subject to certain exceptions in the relevant lock-up agreements), the underwriter may release these securities from these restrictions at any time.

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.
