−Removed: as described below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
−Removed: filed with the SEC on March 22, 2023.
−Removed: The disclosure of risks identified below does not imply that the risk has not already
−Removed: materialized.
−Removed: may need additional capital to execute our business plan and fund operations and may not be able to obtain such capital on acceptable
−Removed: terms or at all.
−Removed: expect to incur significant ongoing operating expenses in connection with the execution of our business strategies.
−Removed: We also expect to
−Removed: incur significant capital expenses as we seek to expand our business.
−Removed: Our efforts to obtain needed capital resources and sources of liquidity
−Removed: may not be sufficient to support our business operations and future growth strategies.
−Removed: If we are unable to satisfy our liquidity and capital
−Removed: resource requirements, we may have to scale back, postpone or discontinue our growth strategies, which could result in slower growth or
−Removed: no growth, and we may lose key suppliers, be unable to timely satisfy customer orders, and be unable to retain our employees.
−Removed: we may be forced to restructure our obligations to creditors, pursue work-out options or other protective measures.
−Removed: Our ability to access funds under the ABL Agreement (the “ABL
−Removed: Loans”) is subject to certain conditions, availability reserves, minimum availability requirements, borrowing base calculations
−Removed: and restrictive covenants, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to satisfy such conditions and restrictive covenants.
−Removed: because the amount available under the ABL Agreement is based on our borrowing base calculations and minimum availability requirements
−Removed: at the time of any draw, the amount available to us will change from time to time.
−Removed: In October 2023, the ABL Lenders implemented an availability
−Removed: reserve of $5.0 million, which reduces the amount available under our borrowing base.
−Removed: Certain events of default
−Removed: occurred under each of the 2023 Credit Agreements due to (i) the Company’s failure to (a) provide certain financial reporting and
−Removed: related materials on a timely basis and (b) complete certain post-closing deliverables as required under the ABL Agreement and (ii) the
−Removed: Company drawing on the loan under the ABL Agreement while the above events of default were in existence.
−Removed: In addition, the ABL Amendment
−Removed: and Term Loan Amendment increased our reporting obligations under the 2023 Credit Agreements and if we are not able to maintain compliance
−Removed: with such additional requirements we may experience future events of default, which could limit our ability to access the ABL Loans and
−Removed: adversely affect our financial position and operations.
−Removed: the extent that waivers and amendments are necessary under either of the 2023 Credit Agreements, there can be no guarantee that we will
−Removed: be able to obtain waivers or amendments from the applicable Lenders if, in the future, we are unable to comply with the covenants and
−Removed: other terms of the 2023 Credit Agreements.
−Removed: Our failure to satisfy the required conditions under the 2023 Credit Agreements or maintain
−Removed: compliance with the financial and performance covenants under the 2023 Credit Agreements could result in future defaults, which would
−Removed: adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, including, potentially, as a result of acceleration of our outstanding
−Removed: We would also be restricted from drawing on the ABL Loans while an event of default is continuing.
−Removed: In addition, any default under
−Removed: the 2023 Credit Agreements would adversely affect our ability to obtain alternative financing, including additional indebtedness from
−Removed: subordinated lenders.
−Removed: our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms or at all is subject to a variety of uncertainties.
−Removed: Adequate alternative
−Removed: financing may not be available or, if available, may only be available on unfavorable terms or subject to covenants that we may not be
−Removed: able to satisfy.
−Removed: is no assurance we will obtain the capital we require.
−Removed: As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fund our future
−Removed: operations or growth strategies.
−Removed: equity or debt financings may require us to also issue warrants or other equity securities that are likely to be dilutive to our existing
−Removed: stockholders.
−Removed: For example, on February 13, 2023, we completed an offering of our Class A Shares that increased the number of outstanding
−Removed: Class A Shares from 91,380,323 to 104,780,323.
−Removed: Newly issued securities may include preferences or superior voting rights or may be combined
−Removed: with the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which each may have additional dilutive effects.
−Removed: Furthermore, we may incur
−Removed: substantial costs in pursuing future capital and financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing
−Removed: and distribution expenses and other costs.
−Removed: We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain
−Removed: securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition.
−Removed: If we cannot raise
−Removed: additional funds on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to carry out all or parts of our long-term growth strategy, maintain
−Removed: our growth and competitiveness or continue in business.
−Removed: Our level of indebtedness
−Removed: and related covenants could limit our operational and financial flexibility and adversely affect our business if we breach such covenants
−Removed: and default on such indebtedness.
−Removed: Under the 2023 Credit Agreements,
−Removed: we are subject to a number of affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants regarding dispositions of property, investments,
−Removed: forming or acquiring subsidiaries, business combinations or acquisitions, incurrence of additional indebtedness, and transactions with
−Removed: affiliates, among other customary covenants, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.
−Removed: In particular, we are (i) restricted
−Removed: from incurring additional debt up to certain amounts, subject to limited exceptions, as set forth in each 2023 Credit Agreement, and
−Removed: (ii) required to maintain minimum revolving availability under the ABL Agreement, and, if revolving availability falls beneath a
−Removed: specified amount, a specified Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the ABL Agreement).
−Removed: The Loan Parties
−Removed: are also restricted from paying dividends or making other distributions or payments on their capital stock, subject to limited exceptions.
−Removed: These restrictions may prevent
−Removed: us from taking actions that we believe would be in the best interests of the business and may make it difficult for us to successfully
−Removed: execute our business strategy or effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted.
−Removed: If we determine that we need to
−Removed: take any action that is restricted under any 2023 Credit Agreement, we will need to first obtain a waiver from the applicable Agent and
−Removed: Obtaining such waivers, if needed, may impose additional costs on us or we may be unable to obtain such waivers.
−Removed: to comply with these restrictive covenants in future periods will largely depend on our ability to successfully implement our overall
−Removed: business strategy.
−Removed: The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default, which could potentially result in the
−Removed: acceleration of our outstanding debt.
−Removed: In the event of an acceleration of such debt, we could be forced to apply all available cash flows
−Removed: to repay such debt, which could also force us into bankruptcy or liquidation.
−Removed: Certain events of default
−Removed: occurred under each of the 2023 Credit Agreements due to (i) the Company’s failure to (a) provide certain financial reporting and
−Removed: related materials on a timely basis and (b) complete certain post-closing deliverables as required under the ABL Agreement and (ii) the
−Removed: Company drawing on the loan under the ABL Agreement while the above events of default were in existence.
−Removed: In addition, the ABL Amendment
−Removed: and Term Loan Amendment increased our reporting obligations under the 2023 Credit Agreements.
−Removed: If we are not able to maintain compliance
−Removed: with our covenants under the 2023 Credit Agreements, we may need to seek amendments or waivers to the Term Loan Agreement and ABL Agreement
−Removed: in the future, and may also need to obtain alternative sources of liquidity.
−Removed: Such alternative sources of liquidity, including subordinated
−Removed: date, may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.
−Removed: the extent that waivers and amendments under any 2023 Credit Agreement are necessary, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to
−Removed: obtain waivers or amendments from the applicable Lenders if, in the future, we are unable to comply with the covenants and other terms
−Removed: of any 2023 Credit Agreement.
−Removed: Our failure to satisfy the required conditions under the 2023 Credit Agreements, any amendments thereof,
−Removed: or maintain compliance with the financial and performance covenants under the 2023 Credit Agreements could result in future defaults,
−Removed: which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, including, potentially, as a result of acceleration of
−Removed: our outstanding debt.
−Removed: In addition, any default under would adversely affect our ability to obtain alternative financing, and significantly
−Removed: limit our ability to execute our business strategies.
−Removed: We are required
−Removed: to make certain prepayments to our term and revolving loans and thereafter will not be able to benefit from that portion of the term loan
−Removed: and may not be able to draw upon our revolving line of credit.
−Removed: the Term Loan Agreement, as amended, we have mandatory prepayment obligations (i) upon the disposition of assets
−Removed: by any loan party or subsidiary resulting in net cash proceeds in excess of $1.0 million in any calendar year, and (ii) upon the receipt
−Removed: of cash in excess of $1.0 million by any loan party or subsidiary not in the ordinary course of business other than permitted under the
−Removed: Term Loan Agreement.
−Removed: Under the ABL Agreement, as amended, we have mandatory prepayment obligations (i) in the event of certain dispositions
−Removed: which result in the realization of net cash proceeds in excess of $1.0 million in any calendar year, (ii) upon the sale or issuance by
−Removed: any loan party or any of its subsidiaries of any of its equity interests other than those permitted under the ABL Agreement, (iii) upon
−Removed: the receipt of net cash proceeds by any loan party or subsidiary from the incurrence or issuance of debt other than permitted by the ABL
−Removed: Agreement, (iv) upon the receipt of cash in excess of $1.0 million by any loan party or subsidiary not in the ordinary course of business
−Removed: other than permitted under the ABL Agreement, and (v) and for over advances if at any time the total revolving credit outstanding exceeds
−Removed: the borrowing base as defined under the ABL Agreement.
−Removed: In addition, the ABL Agreement imposes limitations on other forms of indebtedness,
−Removed: liens, investments, and other operational actions.
−Removed: Moreover, under the ABL Agreement our borrowing is limited to a borrowing base that
−Removed: is periodically adjusted, and if for any reason the amount we have borrowed exceeds that borrowing base we may be required to prepay amounts
−Removed: equal to such excess.
−Removed: If for any reason we are required to prepay any amount owed under the Term Loan Agreement or ABL Agreement, we may
−Removed: not have sufficient liquidity available to make such prepayments and we would be in default under our obligations.
−Removed: In addition, any prepayment
−Removed: would require us to divert liquidity and capital resources away from the operating expenses of our business, which could adversely affect
−Removed: our relationships with suppliers and vendors and our ability to execute on our growth strategies, and prevent us from taking actions in
−Removed: our best interest or even continue in business.
−Removed: have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and i f we fail to maintain an
−Removed: effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately, may make a material misstatement
−Removed: in our financial statements, may experience a financial loss, or may face litigation.
−Removed: Any inability to report and file our financial results
−Removed: accurately and timely could harm our business and adversely affect the value of our business.
−Removed: As a public company, we are
−Removed: required to establish and maintain internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and to comply with
−Removed: other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules promulgated by the SEC.
−Removed: Even when such controls are implemented, management,
−Removed: including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, cannot guarantee that our internal controls and disclosure controls
−Removed: and procedures will prevent all possible errors or loss.
−Removed: Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no system of controls
−Removed: can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company or perpetrated against us will
−Removed: be prevented or have been detected.
−Removed: These inherent limitations include the possibility that judgments in decision-making can be faulty
−Removed: and subject to simple error or mistake.
−Removed: Furthermore, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of
−Removed: two or more persons, or by management override of the controls.
−Removed: The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions
−Removed: about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under
−Removed: all potential future conditions.
−Removed: Over time, measures of control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, new fraudulent
−Removed: schemes, or the deterioration of compliance with policies or procedures.
−Removed: Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system,
−Removed: misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and/or may not be detected.
−Removed: The accuracy of our financial
−Removed: reporting depends on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: Internal control over financial reporting can
−Removed: provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements and may not prevent or
−Removed: detect misstatements.
−Removed: Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, or lapses in disclosure controls and procedures,
−Removed: could undermine the ability to provide accurate disclosure (including with respect to financial information) on a timely basis, which
−Removed: could cause investors to lose confidence in our disclosures (including with respect to financial information), require significant resources
−Removed: to remediate the lapse or deficiency, and expose us to legal or regulatory proceedings.
−Removed: In the course of preparing
−Removed: our financial statements as of September 30, 2023, we identified certain errors in our accounting for warranty reserves, relating specifically
−Removed: to our warranty reserves under wholesale contracts.
−Removed: As part of such process, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls
−Removed: over financial reporting.
−Removed: Our internal controls over financial reporting did not result in the proper accounting of warranty reserves
−Removed: relating to our long-term warranty obligations, which due to its cumulative impact on our consolidated financial statements as of September
−Removed: 30, 2023, we determined to be a material weakness.
−Removed: continue to evaluate, design and work through the process of implementing controls and procedures under a remediation plan designed to
−Removed: address this material weakness, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to remediate this material weakness in a timely manner
−Removed: If our remediation measures are insufficient to address the material weaknesses, or if additional material weaknesses or significant
−Removed: deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, our financial statements may contain material misstatements
−Removed: and we could be required to restate our financial results, which could lead to substantial additional costs for accounting and legal fees
−Removed: and stockholder litigation.
−Removed: We cannot guarantee that we
−Removed: will not experience additional material weaknesses in our internal controls in the future.
−Removed: If additional material weaknesses or significant
−Removed: deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future, our financial statements may contain material misstatements
−Removed: and we could be required to restate our financial results, which could lead to substantial additional costs for accounting and legal fees
−Removed: and stockholder litigation.
−Removed: Any failure to maintain such
−Removed: internal control could adversely impact our ability to report our financial position and results from operations on a timely and accurate
−Removed: If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations.
−Removed: Likewise, if our
−Removed: financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which
−Removed: our common stock is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
−Removed: In either case, this could result in a material adverse effect on
+Added: Except as described below, there have been no material changes from
+Added: the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024.The disclosure of risks
+Added: identified below does not imply that the risk has not already materialized.
+Added: Future sales of our Common Stock in the
+Added: public market may depress our share price.
+Added: Sales of a substantial number
+Added: of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of
+Added: our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities or other securities convertible
+Added: into or exchangeable for equity securities, regardless of whether there is any relationship between such sales and the performance of
our business.
−Removed: Failure to timely file will cause us to be ineligible to utilize short form registration statements on Form S-3, which may
−Removed: impair our ability to obtain capital in a timely fashion to execute our business strategies or issue shares to effect an acquisition.
−Removed: Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a
−Removed: negative effect on the trading price of our stock.
−Removed: As a result of our 2022 acquisition
−Removed: of Intellibed, we are in the process of integrating its systems and processes into ours, including bringing such systems and processes
−Removed: into our existing framework of internal controls.
−Removed: That process requires us to devote resources that might otherwise be used to grow the
−Removed: If we do not successfully integrate the Intellibed processes into our internal controls, there may be material misstatements
−Removed: that are not detected in a timely manner.
−Removed: We may face litigation
−Removed: and other risks as a result of current and previous material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: have determined that a material weakness exists related to the accounting of our warranty reserves, which resulted in an understatement
−Removed: of our warranty reserves in prior periods.
−Removed: In addition, we have had previous material weaknesses that have been remediated, some of which
−Removed: resulted in restatements of our previously issued audited financial statements.
−Removed: As a result of such restatements, material weakness, and
−Removed: other matters that may in the future arise, we face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims
−Removed: invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the restatement and material weaknesses
−Removed: in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements.
−Removed: As of the date of this filing, we have
−Removed: no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute.
−Removed: However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in
−Removed: Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
−Removed: operations and financial condition.
−Removed: Anti-takeover
−Removed: provisions in our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our Third Amended and Restated Bylaws as well as provisions
−Removed: of Delaware law, contain anti-takeover provisions, any of which could delay or discourage a merger, tender offer, or assumption of control
−Removed: of the Company not approved by our Board of Directors that some stockholders may consider favorable.
−Removed: Provisions of Delaware law, our Second Amended and Restated Certificate
−Removed: of Incorporation, and our Third Amended and Restated Bylaws could hamper a third party’s acquisition of us or discourage a third
−Removed: party from attempting to acquire control of us.
−Removed: You may not have the opportunity to participate in these transactions.
−Removed: These provisions
−Removed: could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for equity interests in the Company.
−Removed: These provisions
−Removed: the right of our Board
−Removed: to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director in
−Removed: certain circumstances, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our Board;
−Removed: a prohibition on stockholder
−Removed: action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;
−Removed: a prohibition on stockholders
−Removed: calling a special meeting and the requirement that a meeting of stockholders may only be called by members of our Board, which may
−Removed: delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;
−Removed: the requirement that changes
−Removed: or amendments to certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws must be approved by holders of at least two-thirds of
−Removed: our common stock;
−Removed: advance notice procedures
−Removed: that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a meeting
−Removed: of stockholders, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s
−Removed: own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.
−Removed: December 2022, we amended our bylaws to add requirements relating to stockholder nominations of directors, including a requirement that
−Removed: stockholder nominees complete a written questionnaire and that stockholder nominees make themselves available for interviews by our Board
−Removed: upon request.
−Removed: addition, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which may prohibit certain transactions
−Removed: with stockholders owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock or require us to obtain stockholder approval prior to engaging in
−Removed: such transactions.
−Removed: Coliseum collectively holds approximately 44.7% of our outstanding voting stock.
−Removed: Any delay or prevention of a change
−Removed: in control transaction or changes in our Board could adversely affect our ability to execute transactions that are needed to carry out
−Removed: our operations and growth strategies and cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
−Removed: may not be able to identify, complete or successfully integrate acquisitions, and any such acquisitions may not achieve the anticipated
−Removed: financial benefits, all of which could have a negative impact on our growth, financial condition, and results of operations.
−Removed: may seek to acquire businesses in the future as we encounter acquisition prospects that would complement our current product offerings,
−Removed: increase the size and geographic scope of our operations, or otherwise offer strategic, growth and operating efficiency opportunities.
−Removed: We cannot assure investors that we will be able to identify and acquire acceptable acquisition candidates on terms favorable to us in
−Removed: the future, or that any acquisitions will achieve the anticipated strategic or financial benefits.
−Removed: Even if we do identify opportunities
−Removed: to acquire businesses, we may not be able to consummate such acquisitions due to a number of factors, including lacking access to sufficient
−Removed: capital to fund such acquisitions.
−Removed: addition, acquisitions involve numerous risks and uncertainties and may be of businesses in which we lack operational or market experience.
−Removed: The financing for any of these acquisitions could dilute the interests of our stockholders, result in an increase in our indebtedness
−Removed: Future acquisitions could entail numerous risks, including:
−Removed: difficulties in integrating
−Removed: acquired technologies, operations or products;
−Removed: the difficulties of imposing
−Removed: financial and operating controls on the acquired companies and their management and the potential costs of doing so;
−Removed: the potential loss of key
−Removed: employees, customers, suppliers or distributors from acquired businesses and disruption to our direct selling channel;
−Removed: diversion of management’s
−Removed: attention from our core business;
−Removed: the failure to achieve
−Removed: the strategic objectives of these acquisitions;
−Removed: increased fixed costs;
−Removed: the failure of the acquired
−Removed: businesses to achieve the results we have projected in either the near or long term;
−Removed: the assumption of unexpected
−Removed: liabilities, including compliance and litigation risks;
−Removed: adverse effects on existing
−Removed: business relationships with our suppliers, sales force or consumers;
−Removed: Failure to gain consumer
−Removed: or wholesale market acceptance of acquired brands and products;
−Removed: risks associated with entering
−Removed: markets or industries in which we have limited or no prior experience, including limited expertise in running the business, developing
−Removed: the technology, and selling and servicing the products.
−Removed: failure to successfully complete the integration of any acquired business, or a failure to effectively identify and pursue such acquisitions,
−Removed: could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
−Removed: Changes in accounting standards and subjective
−Removed: assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters, including matters relating to our Tax Receivable
−Removed: Agreement, could significantly affect our financial results.
−Removed: Generally accepted accounting
−Removed: principles and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide range of matters
−Removed: that are relevant to our business are complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management, including
−Removed: but not limited to estimates that affect our revenue recognition, accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation
−Removed: of inventories, cost of revenues, sales returns, warranty liabilities, the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies, warrant
−Removed: liabilities, estimates of current and deferred income taxes, deferred income tax valuation allowances and amounts associated with our
−Removed: Tax Receivable Agreement with our founders dated February 22, 2018 (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”).
−Removed: Changes in these
−Removed: rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments by our management could significantly change
−Removed: our reported or expected financial performance, and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
−Removed: example, in the third quarter of 2023, management determined that certain assumptions made relating to the valuation of our fixed assets
−Removed: were no longer accurate.
−Removed: As a result, we were required to record an impairment charge relating to our fixed assets.
−Removed: business and our reputation could be adversely affected by the failure to protect sensitive employee, customer and consumer data, or
−Removed: to comply with evolving regulations relating to our obligation to protect such data.
−Removed: In the ordinary course of
−Removed: our business, we collect and store certain personal information from individuals, such as our customers and suppliers, and we process
−Removed: customer payment card and check information for purchases via our website.
−Removed: In addition, we may share with third-parties personal information
−Removed: we have collected.
−Removed: Cyber-attacks designed to gain access to sensitive information by breaching security systems of large organizations
−Removed: leading to unauthorized release of confidential information have occurred at a number of major U.S.
−Removed: companies despite widespread recognition
−Removed: of the cyber-attack threat and improved data protection methods.
−Removed: Computer hackers may attempt to penetrate our computer system or the
−Removed: systems of third-parties with which we have shared personal information and, if successful, misappropriate personal information, payment
−Removed: card or check information or confidential Company business information.
−Removed: In addition, a Company employee, contractor or other third party
−Removed: with whom we do business may attempt to circumvent our security measures in order to obtain such information and may purposefully or inadvertently
−Removed: cause a breach involving such information.
−Removed: For example, though it did not involve access to or release of personal information, we recently
−Removed: experienced an unauthorized intrusion into one of our vendor’s systems using a former contractor’s credentials that resulted
−Removed: in access to email addresses and an unauthorized email being sent under a valid Purple email address.
−Removed: Breaches involving any personal
−Removed: information could be more likely to the extent we have any material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to information
−Removed: technology general controls in the areas of user access and segregation of duties related to certain IT systems that support the Company’s
−Removed: financial reporting processes.
−Removed: and third parties with which we have shared personal information have been subject to attempts to breach the security of networks, IT
−Removed: infrastructure, and controls through cyber-attack, malware, computer viruses, social engineering attacks, ransomware attacks, and other
−Removed: means of unauthorized access.
−Removed: For example, in 2022, we experienced a spear-phishing attack that resulted in the unauthorized change to
−Removed: a significant vendor’s bank account to which we made payments that were lost in part until the scheme was discovered.
−Removed: that this attack will result in costs to us of up to $250,000.
−Removed: We anticipate that we may, in the future, continue to be subject to these
−Removed: and similar cyber threats.
−Removed: A breach of systems resulting in the unauthorized release of sensitive data could also adversely affect our
−Removed: reputation and lead to financial losses from remedial actions or potential liability, possibly including punitive damages, and could
−Removed: also materially increase the costs we already incur to protect against these risks.
−Removed: In addition, cyber-attacks, such as ransomware attacks,
−Removed: if successful, could interfere with our ability to access and use systems and records that are necessary to operate our business.
−Removed: attacks could materially adversely affect our reputation, relationships with customers, and operations and could require us to expend
−Removed: significant resources to resolve such issues.
−Removed: We continue to balance the additional risk with the cost to protect us against a breach.
−Removed: Additionally, while losses arising from a breach may be covered in part by insurance that we carry, such coverage may not be adequate
−Removed: for liabilities or losses actually incurred.
−Removed: may be subject to data privacy and data breach laws in the states in which we do business, and as we expand into other countries, we
−Removed: may be subject to additional data privacy laws and regulations.
−Removed: In many states, state data privacy laws (such as the California Consumer
−Removed: Privacy Act), including application and interpretation, are rapidly evolving.
−Removed: The rapidly evolving nature of state and federal privacy
−Removed: laws, including potential inconsistencies between such laws and uncertainty as to their application, adds additional compliance costs
−Removed: and increases our risk of non-compliance.
−Removed: While we attempt to comply with such laws, we may not be in compliance at all times in all
−Removed: Failure to comply with such laws may subject us to fines, administrative actions, and reputational harm.
−Removed: may delist our securities from its exchange, which could harm our business and limit our stockholders ’ liquidity.
−Removed: Our common stock is currently
−Removed: listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, which has qualitative and quantitative listing criteria.
−Removed: However, we cannot assure that our
−Removed: Class A common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq in the future.
−Removed: In order to continue listing our Class A common stock on Nasdaq,
−Removed: we must maintain certain financial, distribution and stock price levels.
−Removed: Generally, we must maintain a minimum amount in stockholders’
−Removed: equity, a minimum number of holders of our Class A common stock, and a minimum bid price for our Class A common stock.
−Removed: If we are unable to comply
−Removed: with the continued listing requirements, our Class A common stock may be subject to delisting.
−Removed: If Nasdaq delists our Class A common stock
−Removed: from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities
−Removed: could be quoted on an over-the-counter market.
−Removed: If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
−Removed: a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
−Removed: reduced liquidity for our securities;
−Removed: a determination that our Class A common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our Class A common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
−Removed: a limited amount of news and analyst coverage;
−Removed: a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
−Removed: The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a
−Removed: federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered
−Removed: securities.” If our Class A common stock continues to be listed on Nasdaq, our Class A common stock will be a covered security.
−Removed: Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate
−Removed: companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the
−Removed: sale of covered securities in a particular case.
+Added: connection with the issuance of Warrants pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, on January 23, 2024, the Company entered
+Added: into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with CCP, Blackwell, Coliseum
+Added: Capital Co-Invest III, L.P.
+Added: (“C-3”), Harvest Master, Harvest Partners, and HSCP (the “Holders”), providing for
+Added: the registration under the Securities Act of the Warrants, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants and the
+Added: Class A Common Stock held by the Holders as of such date (the “Registrable Securities”), subject to customary terms and conditions.
+Added: The Registration Rights Agreement provides that on or prior to February 22, 2024, the Company was required to prepare and file with the
+Added: SEC pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act a registration statement to register the resale of the Registrable Securities.
+Added: received an extension from the Holders to file the registration statement on or prior to March 22, 2024.
+Added: On March 21, 2024, the Company
+Added: filed the registration statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
+Added: The market price of our Common
+Added: Stock could decline as a result of sales in the market by a few large stockholders, such as Coliseum or the Holders, or the perception
+Added: that these sales could occur, including as a result of the registration statement filed March 21, 2024.
+Added: These sales might also make it
+Added: more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate.
+Added: Our stockholders may experience substantial
+Added: dilution in the value of their investment or may otherwise have their interests impaired if we issue additional shares of our capital
+Added: stock, including as a result of the exercise of the Warrants.
+Added: Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation allows
+Added: us to issue up to 300 million shares of our common stock, including 210 million shares of Common Stock and 90 million shares
+Added: of Class B Stock, and up to five million shares of undesignated preferred stock.
+Added: For example, in February 2023 we issued 13,400,000 shares
+Added: of Common Stock pursuant to an underwritten public offering.
+Added: To raise additional capital, we may in the future sell additional shares
+Added: of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock at prices that are lower than the prices
+Added: paid by existing stockholders, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing
+Added: stockholders, which could result in substantial dilution to the interests of existing stockholders.
+Added: For example, on January 23, 2024,
+Added: we issued to the Lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Warrants to purchase 20,000,000 shares of our Common Stock (approximately
+Added: 19% of our currently outstanding Class A Common Stock) at a price of $1.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments.
+Added: The Warrants will
+Added: expire on the 10-year anniversary of issuance or earlier upon redemption.
+Added: The exercise of the Warrants will dilute the value of the Common
+Added: Stock and stockholder voting power.
+Added: Pursuant to our Certificate
+Added: of Incorporation, our board of directors may authorize the issuance of up to five million shares of preferred stock at any time and from
+Added: time to time, with such terms and preferences as the board of directors determines and without any stockholder approval other than as
+Added: may be required by Nasdaq rules.
+Added: The issuance of such shares of preferred stock could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power
+Added: of, our common stockholders.
+Added: The issuance of such preferred stock could also be used as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing
+Added: a change of control.
