Previous report
Stockholder activism or unsolicited acquisition proposals could disrupt our business, divert management’s attention, and adversely affect our ability to execute our long-term strategy.
Previous report
Publicly traded companies are increasingly subject to campaigns by activist stockholders seeking operational, governance, or strategic changes. Activist stockholders may undertake proxy solicitations, advance stockholder proposals, or otherwise attempt to assert influence on our Board and management, including through the media. The Company may also, from time to time, receive unsolicited acquisition proposals. Responding to this activity can be costly and time-consuming, may divert management attention, may generate substantial legal, advisory, and public relations costs, may adversely impact our ability to recruit and retain employees or enter into agreements with potential business partners, and may cause fluctuations in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals or prospects of our business. Any of these factors could materially adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations.
Previous report
We have been the subject of activist campaigns in the past and any of the actions and risks above may occur in the future. For example, on May 3, 2026, the Company received an unsolicited, non-binding acquisition proposal from a third party. Although our Board determined on May 12, 2026 that the proposal was neither credible nor attractive and, to date, no changes to this proposal that would alter our Board’s view have been proposed, we cannot predict whether this party or any other party will take further actions.
