Item 1A. Risk Factors
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Other than as noted below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We may not be able to regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements and rules, the NYSE may delist our common stock, which could negatively affect the Company, the price of our common stock and our shareholders’ ability to sell our common stock. The NYSE has several listing requirements set forth in the NYSE Listed Company Manual. For example, Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual requires that our common stock trade at a minimum average closing price of $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading day period. Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual requires that either our average global market capitalization (inclusive of common and preferred equity) or our total shareholders’ equity exceed $50.0 million.
On March 14, 2024, the Company received a written notice (the “Written Notice”) from the NYSE that the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Rule 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because its average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period was less than $50.0 million and, at the same time, its last reported shareholders’ equity was less than $50.0 million. As required by the NYSE, the Company timely notified the NYSE of its intent to cure the deficiency and restore its compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards. On April 29, 2024, in accordance with applicable NYSE procedures, the Company submitted a plan (the “Plan”) advising the NYSE of the definitive actions the Company has taken, and is taking, that would bring it into compliance with the minimum global market capitalization listing standard within 12 months of receipt of the Written Notice. The NYSE accepted the Plan, and the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the 12-month period beginning March 14, 2024, subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards and continued periodic review by the NYSE of the Company’s progress with respect to the Plan. The Written Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on the NYSE during the applicable cure period and does not result in a default under the Company's material debt or other agreements.
We intend to regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards by pursuing measures that are in our best interest and the best interest of our shareholders. There is no assurance that our efforts will be successful, nor is there any assurance that we will regain compliance with Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual or remain in compliance with such section or other NYSE continued listing standards in the future. A delisting of our common stock from the NYSE could negatively impact us by, among other things, reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; limiting our ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; decreasing the amount of news and analyst coverage of us; and causing us reputational harm with investors, our employees, and parties conducting business with us. A delisting of our common stock could constitute a “fundamental change” under the terms of our 2022 ABL Credit Agreement, which would permit the holder of the indebtedness to accelerate the maturity thereof and proceed against their collateral and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. This acceleration of the maturity under the 2022 ABL Credit agreement would trigger cross default across other debt arrangements.
