  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    We are authorized to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely impact the rights of holders of our securities.

    Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue up to 24,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, consisting of 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 3,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, of which 4,000,000 and 1,305 shares are currently issued and outstanding respectively. Any shares or series of preferred stock that we issue in the future may rank ahead of our other securities in terms of dividend priority or liquidation premiums and may have greater voting rights than our common stock. In addition, we may issue preferred stock that could contain provisions allowing those shares to be converted into shares of common stock, which could dilute the value of our common stock to current stockholders and could adversely affect the market price, if any, of our common stock. In addition, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    We will likely not obtain an opinion from an independent accounting or investment banking firm in connection with the acquisition of a target business.

    We will likely not obtain an opinion from an independent accounting firm or independent investment banking firm that the price we are paying for a target business is fair to our stockholders. If no opinion is obtained, our stockholders will be relying on the judgment of our Board, who will determine fair market value based on standards generally accepted by the financial community.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    A sustained, active trading market for our common stock and our warrants may not develop or be maintained which may limit investors' ability to sell shares or warrants at all or at an acceptable price.

    As we are in our early stage of development, an investment in our Company will likely require a long-term commitment, with no certainty of return. There is currently no trading market for our common stock and warrants and we cannot predict whether an active market for our shares of common stock will ever develop or be sustained in the future. In the absence of an active trading market: - investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations;- market visibility for our common stock may be limited; and - A lack of visibility for our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common stock and warrants. The lack of an active market impairs your ability to sell your shares of common stock and warrants at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares of common stock and warrants. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares of common stock and warrants, and may impair our ability to acquire additional assets by using our shares of common stock as consideration.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    The price of our common stock and warrants may fluctuate substantially.

    You should consider an investment in our common stock and warrants to be risky, and you should invest in our common stock and warrants only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuations in the market value of your investment. Some factors that may cause the market price of our common stock and warrants to fluctuate, in addition to the other risks mentioned in this "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in this report, are: - sale of our common stock and warrants by our stockholders, executives, and directors;- volatility and limitations in trading volumes of our shares of common stock and warrants;- our ability to obtain financing;- the timing and success of introductions of new products by us or our competitors or any other change in the competitive dynamics of our business' industries;- our ability to attract new customers;- changes in our capital structure or dividend policy, future issuances of common stock or warrants, sales of large blocks of common stock or warrants by our stockholders;- our cash position;- announcements and events surrounding financing efforts, including debt and equity securities;- our inability to enter into new markets or develop new products;- reputational issues;- announcements of acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, new products, capital commitments, or other events by us or our competitors;- changes in general economic, political and market conditions in any of the regions in which we conduct our business, including, without limitation, the effect on the global economy and financial markets due to the current or anticipated impact of military conflict and related sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and other countries due to Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine;- changes in industry conditions or perceptions;- analyst research reports, recommendation and changes in recommendations, price targets, and withdrawals of coverage;- departures and additions of key personnel;- disputes and litigations related to intellectual properties, proprietary rights, and contractual obligations;- changes in applicable laws, rules, regulations, or accounting practices and other dynamics; and - other events or factors, many of which may be out of our control. In addition, if the market for equities in our industry or industries related to our industry, or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to management.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Our common stock's and warrants market price may experience rapid and substantial volatility price fluctuations.

    The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to several factors, most of which we cannot control, including: - actual or anticipated variations in our periodic operating results;- increases in market interest rates that lead investors of our common stock to demand a higher investment return; stock-run up;- changes in earnings estimates;- changes in market valuations of similar companies;- actions or announcements by our competitors;- adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;- additions or departures of key personnel;- actions by stockholders;- speculation in the media, online forums, or investment community; and - our intentions and ability to list our common stock on the CBOE and our subsequent ability to maintain such listing. In addition, the stock market in general, and the stock of early-stage companies like ours in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Such rapid and substantial price volatility, including any stock run-up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our stock. Volatility in the market price of our common stock may prevent investors from being able to sell their common stock at or above the initial public offering price.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Our common stock will be subject to potential delisting if we do not maintain compliance with the listing requirements of the CBOE.

    The CBOE maintains rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failure to maintain our listing, or de-listing from the CBOE, would make it more difficult for stockholders to dispose of our shares of common stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our shares of common stock and warrants. This could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock and warrants. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our common stock and/or other securities are not traded on a national securities exchange.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    If research analysts do not publish research about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock or warrants, the price of our common stock and warrants and trading volume could decline.

    The trading market for our shares of common stock and warrants may depend in part on the research and reports that research analysts publish about us and our business. If we do not maintain adequate research coverage, or if any of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our common stock and warrants could decline. If one or more of our research analysts ceases to cover our business or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock and warrants could decrease, which could cause the price of our common stock and warrants or trading volume to decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    We are an "emerging growth company" and are able to avail ourselves of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, which could make our common stock less attractive to investors.

    We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), and we have elected 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(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley"), 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. In addition, pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, as an "emerging growth company" we have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an "emerging growth company." We will remain an "emerging growth company" until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of the IPO; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9
    We may issue additional shares of common stock or other equity securities, or engage in other transactions that could dilute our book value or relative rights of our common stock, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and further dilute existing shareholders.

    We may determine, from time to time, that we need to raise additional capital by issuing additional shares of our common stock or other securities. , We will not be restricted from issuing additional common stock, including securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, shares of our common stock. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of any future offerings, or the prices at which such offerings may be affected. Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of existing stockholders or reduce the market price of our common stock, or all of them. Holders of our securities are not entitled to pre-emptive rights or other protections against dilution. New investors also may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to, and that adversely affect, then-current holders of our securities. Additionally, if we raise additional capital by making offerings of debt or preferred stock, upon our liquidation, holders of our debt securities and preferred stock, and lenders with respect to other borrowings, may receive distributions of its available assets before the holders of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10
    The ability of a stockholder to recover all or any portion of such stockholder's investment in the event of a dissolution or termination may be limited.

    In the event of a dissolution or termination of our Company, the proceeds realized from the liquidation of the assets of our Company, or our subsidiaries will be distributed among the common stockholders, but only after the satisfaction of the claims of third-party creditors of our Company. The ability of a common stockholder to recover all or any portion of such stockholder's investment under such circumstances will, accordingly, depend on the amount of net proceeds realized from such liquidation and the amount of claims to be satisfied therefrom. There can be no assurance that our Company will recognize gains on such liquidation, nor is there any assurance that common stockholders will receive a distribution in such a case.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11
    Future sales of a substantial number of our common stock or warrants by our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

    We cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of our securities, or the availability of securities for future sale, will have on the market price of our securities. Sales of substantial amounts of our securities in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could materially adversely affect the market price of our securities and may make it more difficult for you to sell your securities at a time and price which you deem appropriate.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 12
    Future sales and issuances of our common stock or warrants or rights to purchase common stock or warrants, including pursuant to an equity incentive plan could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to fall.

    We expect that significant additional capital may be needed in the future to continue our planned operations, including acquiring additional companies, marketing activities and costs associated with operating a public company. To raise capital, 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. If we sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to the holders of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 13
    Our common stock may be subject to the "penny stock" rules in the future. It may be more difficult to resell securities classified as "penny stock."

    Our common stock may be subject to "penny stock" rules (generally defined as non-exchange traded stock with a per share price below $5.00) in the future. While our common stock is not considered a "penny stock" since it is listed on the CBOE, if we are unable to maintain that listing and our common stock is no longer listed on the CBOE, unless we maintain a per share price above $5.00, our common stock will become a "penny stock." These rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as "established customers" or "accredited investors." For example, broker-dealers must determine the appropriateness for non-qualifying persons of investments in penny stocks. Broker-dealers must also provide, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, disclose the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, furnish monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account, provide a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Legal remedies available to an investor in "penny stocks" may include the following: - If a "penny stock" is sold to the investor in violation of the requirements listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel the purchase and receive a refund of the investment. - If a "penny stock" is sold to the investor in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that committed the fraud for damages. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from affecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our common stock. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock. Many brokerage firms will discourage or refrain from recommending investments in penny stocks. Most institutional investors will not invest in penny stocks. In addition, many individual investors will not invest in penny stocks due, among other reasons, to the increased financial risk generally associated with these investments. For these reasons, penny stocks may have a limited market and, consequently, limited liquidity. We can give no assurance at what time, if ever, our common stock will not be classified as a "penny stock" in the future.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 14
    We are a smaller reporting company and will be exempt from certain disclosure requirements, which could make our common stock less attractive to potential investors.

    Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, defines a "smaller reporting company" as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent that is not a smaller reporting company and that: - had a public float of less than $250 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of shares of its voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates by the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of common equity, in the principal market for the common equity; or - in the case of an initial registration statement under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act for shares of its common equity, had a public float of less than $250 million as of a date within 30 days of the date of the filing of the registration statement, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of such shares held by non-affiliates before the registration plus, in the case of a Securities Act registration statement, the number of such shares included in the registration statement by the estimated initial public offering price of the shares; or - in the case of an issuer whose public float was zero, had annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available. As a smaller reporting company, we would not be required and may not include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in our proxy statements; we would provide only two years of financial statements; and we would not need to provide the table of selected financial data. We also would have other "scaled" disclosure requirements that are less comprehensive than issuers that are not smaller reporting companies which could make our common stock less attractive to potential investors, and also could make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares.

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.
