Risk Factors.
−Removed: Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this quarterly report are any of the risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 filed with the SEC.
+Added: Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this quarterly report are any of the risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC.
Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
−Removed: As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 filed with the SEC, except for the below:
−Removed: A new 1% U.S.
−Removed: federal excise tax could be imposed on us in connection with redemptions.
−Removed: On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into federal law.
−Removed: The IRA provides for, among other things, a new U.S.
−Removed: federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded U.S.
−Removed: corporations and certain U.S.
−Removed: subsidiaries of publicly traded non-U.S.
−Removed: corporations (each, a “covered corporation”).
−Removed: Because we are a Delaware corporation and our securities are trading on the New York Stock Exchange, we are a “covered corporation” for this purpose.
−Removed: The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased.
−Removed: The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase.
−Removed: However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year.
−Removed: In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax.
−Removed: Department of Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
−Removed: The IRA applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.
−Removed: If a Business Combination is completed on or before December 31, 2022, we would not be subject to the excise tax as a result of stockholders exercising their redemption rights.
−Removed: However, if such Business Combination occurs any time after December 31, 2022, any redemption or other repurchase that occurs in connection with the Business Combination may be subject to the excise tax.
−Removed: Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) the nature and amount of the equity issued in connection with the Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with the Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of the Business Combination), and (iii) the content of regulations and other guidance from the U.S.
−Removed: Department of the Treasury.
−Removed: In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by us, and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined.
−Removed: The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete the Business Combination.
+Added: As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
