Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as provided below, there were no material changes from the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of our fiscal
2025 Form 10-K.
Risks Related to the Proposed Transaction
The Proposed Transaction is subject to conditions, some or all of which may not be satisfied or completed on a
timely basis, if at all. Failure to complete the Proposed Transaction in a timely manner or at all could have adverse effects
on the company.
The completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including the expiration or
termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, some of which are not in
our control. The failure to satisfy the required conditions could delay the completion of the Proposed Transaction for a
significant period of time or prevent it from occurring at all. A failure to complete the Proposed Transaction would mean that
we will not realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction, including our proposed expansion into the cash & carry channel.
Without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Proposed Transaction, the Company will be subject to a number
of risks, including the following:
the market price of our common stock could decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market
assumption that the Proposed Transaction will be completed;
we could owe a termination fee of$1.164 billion under certain circumstances;
we may experience negative publicity, which could have an adverse effect on our ongoing operations, including
on our ability to retain and attract employees and those with whom we do business, such as customers, suppliers
and business partners;
we have committed and will continue to commit time and resources to matters relating to the Proposed
Transaction that could otherwise have been devoted to ongoing business operations and pursuing other beneficial
opportunities for the company;
we will still be required to pay significant fees and expenses relating to financing arrangements, which may
include investment banking fees and commissions, professional fees and other costs and expenses;
we will be required to pay costs relating to the Proposed Transaction, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory
and printing fees, whether or not the Proposed Transaction is completed; and
we may commit significant time and resources to defending against litigation related to any failure to complete the
Proposed Transaction or related to any enforcement proceeding commenced against the company to perform our
obligations pursuant to the transaction agreement.
In addition, one or more conditions in the transaction agreement may not be satisfied on a timely manner. A delay in
completing the Proposed Transaction could cause us to realize some or all of the expected benefits later than we otherwise
expect if the Proposed Transaction is successfully completed within the anticipated timeframe, which could result in additional
transaction costs or in other negative effects associated with uncertainty about completion of the Proposed Transaction. Any of
the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to business uncertainties while the Proposed Transaction is pending.
While the Proposed Transaction is pending, uncertainty about the effect of the Proposed Transaction on employees,
clients, customers, suppliers and vendors may have an adverse effect on our ongoing business operations. These uncertainties
may impair our ability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain business relationships; result in the loss of suppliers,
customers and other business partners or in the termination of existing contracts or relationships; and divert our management’s
attention from our business as we work to take all steps necessary to close the Proposed Transaction. Any of these could have a
material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
