Risks

  • The actual number of shares sold under the Purchase Agreement to B. Riley Principal Capital II, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales, is not possible to predict.
  • The sale and issuance of the company's Class A Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder will cause dilution to the existing stockholders, and the sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock acquired by the Selling Stockholder, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of the company's Class A Common Stock to fall.
  • The company may use proceeds from sales of shares of its Class A Common Stock made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in ways with which you may not agree or in ways which may not yield a significant return.

  • The company may be subject to cyber-attacks or a failure in its information technology and data security infrastructure that could adversely affect its business and operations.
  • Increased scrutiny of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters, including the company's completion of certain ESG initiatives, could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations, result in reputational harm and negatively impact the assessments made by ESG-focused investors when evaluating it.
  • The company's business may be affected by force majeure events outside of its control, including labor unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, climate change, including the increased frequency or severity of natural and catastrophic events and changes in climate change policies and any future widespread public health crisis may negatively impact its business and operations.
  • The company's business is subject to liabilities and operating restrictions arising from environmental, health and safety (EHS) laws, regulations and permits across multiple jurisdictions.
