Anixa Biosciences Inc 10-K

Item 1. Business Overview Anixa Biosciences, Inc. is a biotechnology company developing therapies and vaccines that are focused on critical unmet needs in oncology. Our therapeutics programs include (i) the development of a chimeric endocrine receptor-T cell therapy, a novel form of chimeric antigen receptor-T cell (“CAR-T”) technology, initially focused on treating ovarian cancer, which is being developed at our subsidiary, Certainty Therapeutics, Inc. (“Certainty”), and (ii) until March 2023, the development of anti-viral drug candidates for the treatment of COVID-19. Our vaccine programs include (i) the development of a vaccine against breast cancer, initially focused on triple negative breast cancer (“TNBC”), the most lethal form of breast cancer, (ii) the development of a vaccine against ovarian cancer, and (iii) a vaccine discovery program utilizing the same mechanism as our breast and ovarian cancer vaccines, to develop additional cancer vaccines to address many intractable cancers, including high incidence malignancies in lung, colon and prostate. Our subsidiary, Certainty, is developing immuno-therapy drugs against cancer. Certainty holds an exclusive worldwide, royalty-bearing license to use certain intellectual property owned or controlled by The Wistar Institute (“Wistar”), the nation’s first independent biomedical research institute and a leading NCI designated cancer research center, relating to Wistar’s chimeric endocrine receptor targeted therapy technology. We have initially focused on the development of a treatment for ovarian cancer, but we also may pursue applications of the technology for the development of treatments for additional solid tumors. The license agreement requires Certainty to make certain cash and equity payments to Wistar upon achievement of specific development milestones. With respect to Certainty’s equity obligations to Wistar, Certainty issued to Wistar shares of its common stock equal to five percent (5%) of the common stock of Certainty, such equity stake subject to dilution by further funding of Certainty’s activities by the Company. Due to such Company funding, Wistar’s equity stake in Certainty was 4.4% as of October 31, 2024. Certainty, in collaboration with the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, Inc. (“Moffitt”), has begun human clinical testing of the CAR-T technology licensed by Certainty from Wistar aimed initially at treating ovarian cancer. After receiving authorization from the FDA, we commenced enrollment of patients in a Phase 1 clinical trial and treated the first patient in August 2022. Further, in May 2023 and August 2023, we treated the second and third patients in the trial, respectively, at the same dose level as the first patient, and the treatment was well-tolerated by the patients. In February 2024, May 2024 and June 2024, we treated the three patients, respectively, of the second dose cohort, where the patients were administered a three-times higher dose of cells than the patients in the first cohort. The treatment at this dose level has also been well-tolerated by the patients. While the dose levels in the first two cohorts were expected to be sub-therapeutic, two of the six patients exhibited some anecdotal signs of efficacy. Both have shown possible signs of tumor necrosis, and one is 20 months past initial treatment. In the case of this patient, due to the encouraging results with her initial treatment, we sought single patient Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application permission from the FDA to re-dose her. This re-dosing was approved by the FDA, and we administered her second treatment in October 2024. This second treatment appears to have been well-tolerated by the patient. In November 2024, we treated the first patient in the third dose cohort, where patients are administered a ten-times higher dose of cells than the patients in the first dose cohort. As of January 10, 2025, we have treated two patients in this dose cohort and the treatment at this dose level appears to be well-tolerated by the patients. We anticipate completing treatment of patients in the third dose cohort in February 2025, and commencing treatment of the fourth dose cohort—at a three-times higher dose than the third dose cohort—shortly thereafter. This study is a dose-escalation trial with two arms based on route of delivery—intraperitoneal or intravenous—to determine the maximum tolerated dose in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer and to assess persistence, expansion and efficacy of the modified T cells. The study is being conducted at Moffitt and will consist of up to 24 to 48 patients who have received at least two prior lines of chemotherapy. The study is estimated to be completed in two to three years depending on multiple factors including when the maximum tolerated dose is reached, the rate of patient enrollment, the significance of efficacy data and how long we maintain the two different delivery methods. 2 We hold an exclusive worldwide, royalty-bearing license to use certain intellectual property owned or controlled by The Cleveland Clinic Foundation (“Cleveland Clinic”) relating to certain breast cancer vaccine technology developed at Cleveland Clinic. The license agreement requires us to make certain cash payments to Cleveland Clinic upon achievement of specific development milestones. Utilizing this technology, we are working in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic to develop a method to vaccinate women against breast cancer, focused initially on TNBC. The focus of this vaccine is a specific protein, α-lactalbumin, that is only expressed during lactation in a healthy woman’s mammary tissue. This protein disappears when the woman is no longer lactating, but reappears in many forms of breast cancer, especially TNBC. Studies have shown that vaccinating against this protein prevents breast cancer in mice. In October 2021, following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) authorization to proceed, we commenced dosing patients in a Phase 1 clinical trial of our breast cancer vaccine. This study, which is being fully funded by a U.S. Department of Defense grant to Cleveland Clinic, is a multiple-ascending dose Phase 1 trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (“MTD”) of the vaccine in patients with early-stage, triple-negative breast cancer as well as monitor immune response. The study is being conducted at Cleveland Clinic. During the course of the Phase 1 study, participants will receive three vaccinations, each two weeks apart, and will be closely monitored for side effects and immune response. The first segment of the study, Phase 1a, will consist of approximately 24 patients who have completed treatment for early-stage, triple-negative breast cancer within the past three years and are currently tumor-free but at high risk for recurrence. Studies show that 42% of TNBC patients will have a recurrence of their cancer, with most of the recurrences occurring in the first two to three years after standard of care treatment. In January 2023, the number of participants in each dose cohort was expanded, and as of August 2023, we had completed vaccinating all patients in these expanded cohorts. In December 2023, we presented the immunological data collected to date at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. The data presented show that in the vaccinated women who had been tested to date, various levels of antigen-specific T cell responses were observed at all dose levels. Subsequently, we began vaccinating participants in additional dose cohorts at varying dose levels of the different key components of the vaccine. Further, in November 2023, we commenced vaccination of participants in the second segment of the trial, Phase 1b, that includes participants who have never had cancer, but carry certain mutations in genes such as BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2, that indicate a greater risk of developing TNBC in the future, and have elected to have a prophylactic mastectomy. Finally, in January 2024, we commenced vaccination of participants in the third segment of the trial, Phase 1c, that includes post-operative TNBC patients that have residual disease following treatment and are currently undergoing treatment with pembrolizumab (Keytruda®). In November 2024, we presented the most recent data from each of the three arms of the trial at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting. Key findings presented include i) patients exhibited antigen-specific immune responses at all dose levels and in all three patient groups (Phase 1a, 1b and 1c), ii) patients receiving our vaccine in combination with Keytruda are not showing any additional or more severe adverse side effects, and iii) no adverse side effects were seen other than varying degrees of injection site irritation. These findings are promising, and as we continue the Phase 1 trial, we are preparing to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial in the neo-adjuvant setting (pre-surgery) to determine possible therapeutic effect of the vaccine. We anticipate commencing the Phase 2 trial in 2025. We hold an exclusive worldwide, royalty-bearing license to use certain intellectual property owned or controlled by Cleveland Clinic relating to certain ovarian cancer vaccine technology. The license agreement requires us to make certain cash payments to Cleveland Clinic upon achievement of specific development milestones. This technology pertains to among other things, the use of vaccines for the treatment or prevention of ovarian cancers which express the anti-Mullerian hormone receptor 2 protein containing an extracellular domain (“AMHR2-ED”). In healthy tissue, this protein regulates growth and development of egg-containing follicles in the ovary. While expression of AMHR2-ED naturally and markedly declines during menopause, this protein is expressed at high levels in the ovaries of postmenopausal women with ovarian cancer. Researchers at Cleveland Clinic believe that a vaccine targeting AMHR2-ED could prevent the occurrence of ovarian cancer. 3 In May 2021, Cleveland Clinic was granted acceptance for our ovarian cancer vaccine technology into the National Cancer Institute’s (“NCI”) PREVENT program. The NCI is a part of the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”). The PREVENT program is a peer-reviewed agent development program designed to support pre-clinical development of innovative interventions and biomarkers for cancer prevention and interception towards clinical trials. The scientific and financial resources of the PREVENT program are being used for our ovarian cancer vaccine technology to perform virtually all pre-clinical research and development, manufacturing and IND enabling studies. This work is being performed at NCI facilities, by NCI scientific staff and with NCI financial resources and will require no material financial expenditures by the Company, nor the payment of any future consideration by the Company to NCI. In May 2024, based on the positive clinical results to date in the development of our breast cancer vaccine, we entered into a Joint Development and Option Agreement with Cleveland Clinic to collaborate in efforts to develop additional vaccines for the prevention or treatment of cancers. Working with Cleveland Clinic researchers, we are focusing on the same novel scientific mechanism as in our breast and ovarian cancer vaccines, and working to discover additional retired proteins that may be associated with other forms of cancer, specifically high incidence malignancies in the lung, colon and prostate. Over the next several quarters, we expect the development of our therapeutics and vaccines to be the primary focus of the Company. As part of our legacy operations, the Company remains engaged in limited patent licensing activities of its various patent portfolios. We do not expect these activities to be a significant part of the Company’s ongoing operations nor do we expect these activities to require material financial resources or attention of senior management. Over the past several years, our revenue was derived from technology licensing and the sale of patented technologies, including revenue from the settlement of litigation. We have not generated any revenue to date from our vaccine or therapeutics programs. In addition, while we pursue our vaccine and therapeutics programs, we may also make investments in and form new companies to develop additional emerging technologies. We do not expect to begin generating revenue with respect to any of our current vaccine or therapy programs in the near term. We hope to achieve a profitable outcome by eventually licensing our technologies to large pharmaceutical companies that have the resources and infrastructure in place to manufacture, market and sell our technologies as vaccines or therapeutics. The eventual licensing of any of our technologies may take several years, if it is to occur at all, and may depend on positive results from human clinical trials. CAR-T therapeutics Certainty was formed to develop immuno-therapy drugs against cancer, and in November 2017, we entered into a license with Wistar whereby we obtained rights to certain intellectual property surrounding Wistar’s chimeric endocrine receptor targeted therapy technology. CAR-T therapeutics have demonstrated positive results in B cell cancers, but very little progress has been made on solid tumors. Our CAR-T technology is initially focused on ovarian cancer and is based on engineering killer T cells with the Follicle Stimulating Hormone (“FSH”) to target ovarian cells that express the FSH-Receptor. Data on this technology, including the animal studies showing efficacy, was published in January 2017 in the journal, Clinical Cancer Research. The FSH-Receptor has been shown to be a very exclusive protein found on a large percentage of ovarian cancer cells, but not on a significant number of non-ovarian healthy tissues in adult females. 4 Studies have shown that the FSH-Receptor is also expressed in endothelial cells of the vasculature of neoplasias. We anticipate performing further studies to evaluate the ability of our CAR-T to disrupt the vasculature of other cancers, after we have analyzed data from clinical trials of this technology against ovarian cancer. We have been working with researchers at Moffitt to develop our CAR-T therapy. Moffitt is one of the top cancer centers in the country with pre-clinical and clinical expertise with CAR-T technology. Moffitt has conducted many of the highest profile CAR-T trials in the world. In August 2022, Moffitt began treating patients in a Phase 1 clinical trial of our CAR-T therapy. While the results to date have been positive, there are many uncertainties in drug development, and most drugs fail to reach commercialization. In the future, we hope to achieve a profitable outcome by eventually licensing our technology to a large pharmaceutical company that has the resources and infrastructure in place to manufacture, market and sell our technology as a cancer treatment. The Market We believe that our CAR-T technology may be used as an effective treatment against multiple solid tumor types, however, we have initially focused on ovarian cancer. According to American Cancer Society statistics, in the U.S., ovarian cancer accounts for just 2% of all female cancer cases, but nearly 5% of cancer deaths in women due to the disease’s low survival rate. It has been estimated that in 2024, approximately 20,000 new cases of ovarian cancer would be diagnosed in the U.S. and approximately 13,000 women would die from this disease. Despite continuous advances made in the field of cancer research every year, there remains a significant unmet medical need, as the overall five-year relative survival rate for ovarian cancer patients is 51%, but ranges from 42% among Black women to 61% among Asian American/Pacific Islander women. Cancer vaccines We licensed certain technology from Cleveland Clinic to develop vaccines for the treatment or prevention of TNBC and other breast cancers which express the α-lactalbumin protein. This protein is only expressed during lactation in healthy women, but may also be expressed in individuals with certain breast cancers, most notably TNBC, the most lethal form of breast cancer. Further, we have licensed certain technology from Cleveland Clinic to develop vaccines for the treatment or prevention of ovarian cancers which express AMHR2-ED. This protein regulates growth and development of egg-containing follicles in the ovary and its expression naturally and markedly declines after menopause. However, AMHR2-ED is expressed at high levels in the ovaries of postmenopausal women with ovarian cancer. In addition, we have entered into a Joint Development and Option Agreement with Cleveland Clinic to collaborate in efforts to develop additional vaccines for the prevention or treatment of cancers. Working with Cleveland Clinic researchers, we are focusing on the same novel scientific mechanism as in our breast and ovarian cancer vaccines, and working to discover additional retired proteins that may be associated with other forms of cancer, specifically high incidence malignancies in the lung, colon and prostate. Typically, vaccines harness the immune system to protect people from infectious diseases. Broad-based vaccination programs have essentially eliminated some of the most deadly and debilitating diseases in history, small pox and polio among them. However, there has been little success developing a preventative (prophylactic) vaccine against cancer. Vaccines work by exposing a benign form of a disease agent to an individual’s immune system. The immune system identifies the agent and learns to attack and destroy it, retaining a memory of the agent so the immune system knows to react quickly if an individual is exposed to the disease agent months or years later. Most vaccines attack pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria. The immune system is better able to assail these agents because they come from outside the body. Cancer, however, is caused by aberrant cells that arise out of our resident cells, which can make it difficult for our immune system to find the diseased cells, especially as advancing age weakens our immune system. Once these aberrant cells gain critical mass, they become cancer. 5 Despite the lack of success with cancer vaccines, recently gained knowledge about the human immune system has led to the development, approval and commercialization of revolutionary immuno-therapy drugs. These drugs do not attack cancer directly, but rather modulate the immune system in ways that enable it to destroy or dramatically impair cancer cells. The breast cancer vaccine technology licensed from Cleveland Clinic has identified a protein, alpha-lactalbumin, that is present in healthy breast tissue only when a woman is lactating and disappears when she stops nursing her child. Alpha-lactalbumin is never present on any other cell in the body. However, it does show up in many types of breast cancer, including TNBC, an aggressive and deadly form of the disease. By developing a vaccine that targets alpha-lactalbumin, we feel the immune system can destroy these breast cancer cells as they arise and ultimately prevent breast tumors from forming. Cleveland Clinic researchers have demonstrated in animal studies that vaccination against alpha-lactalbumin completely prevented breast cancer in mice that were specifically bred to develop breast cancer. Data on this technology, including the animal studies showing efficacy, was published in March 2016 in the journal, Cancers. The ovarian cancer vaccine technology licensed from Cleveland Clinic has identified the AMHR2-ED protein, the expression of which is involved in egg production in the ovaries and is no longer expressed after menopause. AMHR2-ED is not meaningfully present on any other cell in the body. However, it does appear in many cases of epithelial ovarian cancers, the most common type of ovarian cancer. By developing a vaccine that targets AMHR2-ED, we feel the immune system can destroy these ovarian cancer cells as they arise and ultimately prevent tumors from forming. Data on this technology, including animal studies showing efficacy, was published in November 2017 in the journal, Cancer Prevention Research. In October 2021, Cleveland Clinic began treating patients in a Phase 1 clinical trial of our breast cancer vaccine. While the results to date have been positive, there are many uncertainties in drug development, and most drugs fail to reach commercialization. In addition, we and our partners at Cleveland Clinic continue working with the NCI who are or will be performing pre-clinical research and development, manufacturing and IND-enabling studies to advance our ovarian cancer vaccine technology toward human clinical testing. Further, the vaccine discovery program focused on discovering vaccine targets for lung, colon and prostate cancer is in its early stages, and there can be no assurance that appropriate vaccine targets may be identified or developed. The Breast Cancer Market According to American Cancer Society statistics, in the U.S., breast cancer accounts for over 30% of all female cancer cases, and 15% of cancer deaths in women. It has been estimated that in 2024, approximately 314,000 new cases of breast cancer would be diagnosed in the U.S. and approximately 42,000 women would die from this disease. Despite continuous advances made in the field of cancer research every year, invasive female breast cancer incidence rates have been increasing by approximately 0.6% per year over the past 20 years. The market for prophylactic cancer vaccines is sizable—bigger in fact than the market for any type of cancer therapeutic. Cancer therapies are only administered after a patient has been diagnosed, while a prophylactic vaccine may be administered to all people who have a possibility of developing the disease. While in the U.S., approximately 314,000 women were estimated to be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2024, there are approximately 84 million women age 40 and over—the time in life when women face an increased risk of developing breast cancer. Worldwide, the number is dramatically larger. The Ovarian Cancer Market According to American Cancer Society statistics, in the U.S., ovarian cancer accounts for just 2% of all female cancer cases, but nearly 5% of cancer deaths in women due to the disease’s low survival rate. It has been estimated that in 2024, approximately 20,000 new cases of ovarian cancer would be diagnosed in the U.S. and approximately 13,000 women would die from this disease. Despite continuous advances made in the field of cancer research every year, there remains a significant unmet medical need, as the overall five-year relative survival rate for ovarian cancer patients is 51%, but ranges from 42% among Black women to 61% among Asian American/Pacific Islander women. 6 The market for prophylactic cancer vaccines is sizable—bigger in fact than the market for any type of cancer therapeutic. While in the U.S., approximately 20,000 women were estimated to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2024, there are approximately 42 million women age 60 and over—the time in life when women face an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer. Worldwide, the number is dramatically larger. The Lung Cancer Market According to American Cancer Society statistics, lung cancer accounts for 12% of all cancer cases, and over 20% of cancer deaths. It is the third most common form of cancer, after breast and prostate cancers, but it accounts for more deaths than any other form of cancer. It has been estimated that in 2024, approximately 235,000 new cases of lung cancer would be diagnosed in the U.S. and approximately 125,000 people would die from this disease. Despite declining incidence and mortality rates, largely due to reductions in smoking, the 5-year relative survival rate for lung cancer is only 25%. The Colon Cancer Market According to American Cancer Society statistics, colon cancer, including rectal cancer, accounts for 8% of all cancer cases, and 9% of cancer deaths. It is the fourth most common form of cancer, after breast, prostate and lung cancers, but it is second only to lung cancer in terms of deaths. It has been estimated that in 2024, approximately 153,000 new cases of colon cancer would be diagnosed in the U.S. and approximately 53,000 people would die from this disease. While incidence rates have been declining, primarily due to improved screening, these reduced incidence rates have been confined to individuals 65 and older. Incidence rates have been increasing in individuals younger than 55, and have been stable for those between 55 and 65. Similar trends have been seen in mortality rates. The Prostate Cancer Market According to American Cancer Society statistics, prostate cancer accounts for nearly 30% of all male cancer cases, and 11% of cancer deaths in men. It has been estimated that in 2024, approximately 299,000 new cases of prostate cancer would be diagnosed in the U.S. and approximately 35,000 men would die from this disease. While overall incidence rates have been increasing by 3% per year over the last 10 years, mortality rates are relatively unchanged. The 5-year relative survival rate is nearly 100% for men diagnosed with localized- or regional-stage prostate cancer, but drops to 34% for those diagnosed with distant-stage disease. Competition The biopharmaceutical industry is characterized by intense and dynamic competition to develop new technologies and proprietary therapies. Any product candidates that we successfully develop and commercialize will have to compete with existing therapies and new therapies that may become available in the future. While we believe that our proprietary FSH-Receptor targeted immuno-therapy platform for treating solid tumors, our proprietary cancer vaccine technologies and our scientific expertise in the field of cell therapy provide us with competitive advantages, we face potential competition from various sources, including larger and better-funded pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as from academic institutions, governmental agencies and public and private research institutions. Many of our competitors, either alone or with their strategic partners, have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals of therapies and vaccines and commercializing those therapies and vaccines. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining approval for therapies and vaccines and achieving widespread market acceptance. Our competitors’ therapies and vaccines may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any therapy or vaccine we may commercialize and may render our therapies and vaccines obsolete or non-competitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any of our therapies and vaccines. 7 Mergers and acquisitions in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries may result in even more resources being concentrated among a smaller number of our competitors. These competitors also compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management personnel and establishing clinical study sites and subject registration for clinical studies, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our programs. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs and vaccines enter the market and advanced technologies become available. We expect any therapies and vaccines that we develop and commercialize to compete on the basis of, among other things, efficacy, safety, convenience of administration and delivery, price and the availability of reimbursement from government and other third-party payers. Our commercial opportunities could be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and commercialize products that are safer, more effective, have fewer or less severe side effects, are more convenient or are less expensive than any products that we may develop. Our competitors also may obtain FDA or other regulatory approvals for their products more rapidly than we may obtain approvals for ours, which could result in our competitors establishing a strong market position before we are able to enter the market. Employees As of October 31, 2024, we had five full-time employees working for our Company and subsidiaries. In addition, we work with research teams at Moffitt and Cleveland Clinic, as well as their and our subcontractors, to develop each of our projects. Summary Risk Factors The risk factors described below are a summary of the principal risk factors associated with an investment in us. These are not the only risks we face. You should carefully consider these risk factors, together with the risk factors set forth in Item 1A. of this Report and the other reports and documents filed by us with the SEC. Risks Relating to Our Financial Condition and Operations ● We have a history of losses and may incur additional losses in the future. ● We will need additional funding in the future which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and, if available, may result in dilution to our stockholders. ● We may have difficulty in raising capital and may consume resources faster than expected. Risks Related to our Research & Development, Clinical and Commercialization Activities ● Our therapeutic and vaccine programs are pre-revenue, and subject to the risks of an early-stage biotechnology company. ● Our current business model relies on strategic collaborations with commercial partners to provide the resources and infrastructure to manufacture and ultimately market and/or sell our technologies. We may have difficulty in timing the establishment of these partnerships to achieve the greatest economic benefit for the Company, or in establishing these partnerships at all. ● If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, we may incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limit commercialization of our product candidates. ● We have never generated any revenue from biotechnology and pharmaceutical product sales and our biotechnology and pharmaceutical products may never be profitable. ● The therapeutics and vaccines that we are developing are novel and present significant challenges to successfully reaching market. 8 ● While pre-clinical testing and the limited human clinical testing of our product candidates has been positive, we may experience unfavorable results once we collect statistically significant data from human clinical trials. ● We are dependent on third parties to conduct our pre-clinical and clinical trials. ● If we encounter difficulties enrolling patients in our clinical trials, our clinical development activities could be delayed or otherwise adversely affected. ● We face significant competition from other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and our operating results will suffer if we fail to compete effectively. Risks Related to our Intellectual Property ● We rely on licenses from Wistar for our CAR-T technology and Cleveland Clinic for our breast and ovarian cancer vaccine technologies, and if we lose any of these licenses it may remove or limit our ability to develop and commercialize products and technology covered by these license agreements and we may be subjected to future litigation. Risks Related to our Common Stock ● The issuance or sale of shares in the future, including in connection with our current at-the-market offering program, to raise money or for strategic purposes could reduce the market price of our common stock. ● We have issued a significant number of securities pursuant to our incentive plans and may continue to do so in the future. The vesting and, if applicable, exercise of these securities and the sale of the shares of common stock issuable thereunder may dilute stockholders’ percentage ownership interest and may also result in downward pressure on the price of our common stock.
