Current report
Future use and amount of our Current NOLs and other tax benefits is uncertain.
Current report
On June 27, 2024, our Board approved the adoption of the NOL Rights Plan to protect stockholder value by attempting to safeguard our ability to use Current NOLs of approximately $238 million to reduce potential future federal income tax obligations from becoming substantially limited by future ownership of our Common Stock. Pursuant to the NOL Rights Plan, the Board authorized and declared a dividend of one Right for each outstanding share of Common Stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 26, 2024. Upon a stockholder acquiring greater than a 4.9% ownership percentage threshold (or, if a stockholder has beneficial ownership of in excess of 4.9%, then the ownership percentage that is one-half of one percentage point greater than their current beneficial ownership percentage), the Rights will become exercisable to significantly dilute any stockholder who violates the ownership limitations of the NOL Rights Plan. In connection with the NOL Rights Plan, the Board adopted, and recommended that our stockholders approve, the NOL Protective Charter Amendment that adds an additional layer of protection to our Current NOLs until June 30, 2025 by voiding any transfer of Common Stock that results in a stockholder acquiring beyond a 4.9% ownership percentage threshold (or, if a stockholder has current beneficial ownership of in excess of 4.9%, then the ownership percentage that is one-half of one percentage point greater than their current beneficial ownership percentage).
Current report
Our use of our Current NOLs and other tax benefits depends on our ability to generate taxable income in the future. We cannot ensure whether we will have future taxable income in any applicable period or, if we do, whether such income or our Current NOLs or other tax benefits at such time will exceed any potential limitation under Code Section 382.
Current report
The IRS may challenge our Current NOLs and other tax benefits.
Current report
As of June 30, 2024, the amount of our Current NOLs has not been audited or otherwise validated by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). The IRS could challenge the amount of our Current NOLs, which could result in an increase in our future liability for income taxes. In addition, determining whether an ownership change under Code Section 382 has occurred is subject to uncertainty, both because of the complexity and ambiguity of the provisions of Code Section 382 and because of limitations on the knowledge that any publicly traded company can have about the ownership of, and transactions in, its securities on a timely basis. Therefore, we cannot ensure that the IRS or another taxing authority will not claim that we experienced an ownership change under Code Section 382 and attempt to reduce the benefit of our Current NOLs and other tax benefits available to us at such time, even if the NOL Protective Charter Amendment is in place.
Current report
There is continued risk of ownership change under Code Section 382.
Current report
Although the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and NOL Rights Plan are intended to reduce the likelihood of an ownership change under Code Section 382, we cannot ensure that the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan will be effective. The amount by which an ownership interest under Code Section 382 may change in the future could, for example, be affected by purchases of our Common Stock by stockholders who are 5%-stockholders (as defined under Code Section 382) or by purchases of stock or other interests in corporations, partnerships or other legal entities that own 4.9% or more of our Common Stock, over which we have no control. Further, while the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan allow for the exercise of currently outstanding conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options or otherwise, such exercises may result in an ownership change under Code Section 382. It may also be in our best interests, taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances at the time, to permit the acquisition of our Common Stock in excess of the specified limitations or to issue new or redeem existing equity in the future, all of which may increase the likelihood of an ownership change under Code Section 382.
Current report
The NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan may potentially adversely affect the market for, and negatively impact the value of, our Common Stock.
Current report
The NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan are intended to prohibit or deter a stockholder’s ability to acquire, directly, indirectly or constructively, additional shares of our Common Stock in excess of the specified limitations. As such, a stockholder’s ability to dispose of our Common Stock may be limited by reducing the class of potential acquirers for such shares. In addition, a stockholder’s ownership of our Common Stock may become subject to the restrictions of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment, or may trigger applicable thresholds under the NOL Rights Plan, upon actions taken by Persons (as such term is defined in the NOL Protective Charter Amendment or the NOL Rights Plan, as applicable) related to, or affiliated with, such stockholder.
Current report
If the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan are approved by our stockholders at the Special Meeting, our Board intends to include a legend reflecting the transfer restrictions included in the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the Rights issued pursuant to the NOL Rights Plan on certificates representing newly issued or transferred shares of our Common Stock, to disclose such Rights and restrictions to Persons holding our Common Stock in uncertificated form, and to disclose such restrictions to the public generally. Because certain buyers, including Persons who wish to acquire more than 4.9% of our Common Stock and certain institutional holders who may not be comfortable holding our Common Stock with restrictive legends, may choose not to purchase our Common Stock, the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan could have an adverse effect on the marketability and trading value of our Common Stock in an amount that could more than offset any value preserved from protecting our Current NOLs. The NOL Protective Charter Amendment and NOL Rights Plan could also have a negative impact on the trading value of our Common Stock by deterring Persons or groups of Persons from acquiring our Common Stock, including in acquisitions that might result in some or all of our stockholders receiving a premium above market value.
Current report
The NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan may have an anti-takeover effect.
Current report
While the NOL Protective Charter Amendment is not intended to prevent, or even discourage, a proposal to acquire the Company, if approved by our stockholders at the Special Meeting, the NOL Protective Charter Amendment may have a potential anti-takeover effect because, among other things, it will restrict the ability of a Person, entity or group to accumulate more than 4.9% of our Common Stock and the ability of Persons, entities or groups now owning more than 4.9% of our Common Stock to acquire any significant amount of additional shares of our Common Stock, in each case, without the approval of our Board. Similarly, while the NOL Rights Plan is not intended to prevent, or even discourage, a proposal to acquire the Company, if ratified by our stockholders at the Special Meeting, the NOL Rights Plan may have a potential anti-takeover effect because, among other things, an Acquiring Person (as such term is defined in the NOL Rights Plan) may have its ownership interest diluted upon the occurrence of a triggering event. Accordingly, the overall effects of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and NOL Rights Plan, if approved and ratified by our stockholders at the Special Meeting, may be to render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or assumption of control by a substantial holder of our Common Stock, and have an adverse effect on the marketability and the trading value of our Common Stock. However, the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and NOL Rights Plan should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the Board.
Current report
During the second quarter of 2024, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” as such terms are defined under Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
Removed paragraphs (1)
Previous report
Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, our board of directors may authorize the issuance of up to five million shares of preferred stock at any time and from time to time, with such terms and preferences as the board of directors determines and without any stockholder approval other than as may be required by Nasdaq rules. The issuance of such shares of preferred stock could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. The issuance of such preferred stock could also be used as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change of control.

Previous wording
Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation allows us to issue up to 300 million shares of our common stock, including 210 million shares of Common Stock and 90 million shares of Class B Stock, and up to five million shares of undesignated preferred stock. For example, in February 2023 we issued 13,400,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to an underwritten public offering. To raise additional capital, we may in the future sell additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock at prices that are lower than the prices paid by existing stockholders, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders, which could result in substantial dilution to the interests of existing stockholders. For example, on January 23, 2024, we issued to the Lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Warrants to purchase 20,000,000 shares of our Common Stock (approximately 19% of our currently outstanding Class A Common Stock) at a price of $1.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Warrants will expire on the 10-year anniversary of issuance or earlier upon redemption. The exercise of the Warrants will dilute the value of the Common Stock and stockholder voting power.
