ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors we previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Financial industry and capital markets turmoil may materially and adversely affect our liquidity and consolidated financial statements.
In early March 2023, federal and state banking regulators closed two U.S. banks, with which we had no banking, financing or other business relationships or dependencies, precipitating financial industry and capital markets turmoil centered on concerns about the stability and solvency of other banks and financial institutions and the attendant risk they may be closed and/or forced by governmental agencies into receivership or sale. The failure of other banks and financial institutions, if it occurs, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or consolidated financial statements if we have placed cash and cash equivalent deposits at such banks or financial institutions, or if such banks or financial institutions, or any substitute or additional banks or financial institutions, participate in the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, non-defaulting lenders are not obligated to cover or acquire a defaulting lender’s respective commitment to fund loans or to issue letters of credit, and may not issue additional letters of credit if we do not enter into arrangements to address the risk with respect to the defaulting lender (which may include cash collateral). If the non-defaulting lenders are unable or unwilling to cover or acquire a defaulting lender’s respective commitment, potentially due to other demands they face under other credit instruments to which they are party, or because of regulatory restrictions, among other factors, we may not be able to access the Credit Agreement’s full borrowing or letter of credit capacity.
