Current report
The cost of the Restructuring Plan may exceed our estimates and we may not otherwise realize the intended benefits of the Restructuring Plan, which could adversely affect our results of operations and our financial condition.
Current report
The costs of the Restructuring Plan may exceed our estimates, and we may not achieve the targeted financial benefits or generate additional savings to invest in growth. We may have trouble relocating equipment to Georgia and expanding our Georgia manufacturing workforce. As we replace experienced Utah manufacturing employees with inexperienced employees in Georgia, we may lose continuity and accumulated knowledge, as well as experience a decline in productivity, which may negatively impact our production efficiency and quality. We may experience an increase in the cost of distribution due to manufacturing in only one region of the United States. During the process of consolidation, we could encounter disruptions with respect to inventory levels or raw material supply due to shifting plant volumes. We may not be able to timely sublease our Utah manufacturing facilities, which could adversely affect our financial condition. The reduction in our workforce and related restructuring, including the loss of jobs in Utah, could damage employee morale, our business reputation, and our ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees, which could adversely affect our business.
Current report
Disruption of our manufacturing operations has and could increase our costs of doing business or lead to delays in shipping our products and could materially adversely affect our business, our results of operations, and our financial condition.
Current report
The disruption of our manufacturing operations for a significant period of time, or even permanently, such as due to the Restructuring Plan or a closure related to restructuring, a pandemic, natural disasters, the termination or expiration of a lease or mechanical failures in our manufacturing equipment, would likely increase our costs of doing business and lead to delays in manufacturing and shipping our products to customers and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and our financial condition including our cash flows. In addition, the occurrence of workplace injuries or other industrial accidents at one or more of our manufacturing plants has required, and may require in the future, that we suspend production or modify our operations, which could lead to delays in manufacturing and shipping our products to customers. Likewise, acts of workplace violence may require us to temporarily suspend production or modify our operations. Such delays could adversely affect our customer satisfaction, results of operations, financial condition including our cash flows. As a result of the Restructuring Plan, we may be at increased risk of disruption to our manufacturing operations by any event affecting that plant including but not limited to a regional economic downturn, hurricanes and other natural disasters, closure due to a pandemic, the unavailability of utilities, or any other events that impacts our manufacturing and operating activities in Georgia, which could adversely affect our business.
Current report
NASDAQ may delist our securities from its exchange, which could harm our business and limit our stockholders’*** liquidity.***
Current report
Our Common Stock is currently listed on NASDAQ, which has qualitative and quantitative listing criteria. However, we cannot assure that our Common Stock will continue to be listed on NASDAQ in the future. In order to continue listing our Common Stock on NASDAQ, we must maintain certain governance, financial, distribution and stock price levels. Generally, we must maintain a minimum amount in stockholders’ equity, a minimum number of holders of our Common Stock, and a $1.00 minimum per share bid price for our Common Stock. If we fail to maintain a $1.00 minimum per share bid price for a period of 30 consecutive business days, we have 180 calendar days to maintain our Common Stock at a $1.00 minimum per share bid price for 10 consecutive trading days. If we do not regain compliance within 180 calendar days, NASDAQ may grant a second compliance period of 180 calendar days or it may make a determination to delist our Common Stock, at which point we would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel. Our Common Stock has been trading below the $1.00 minimum per share bid price since September 30, 2024. If our common stock continues to close below the $1.00 minimum per share requirement, we would then be required to file a Form 8-K reporting the receipt of a notice of delisting and failure to satisfy a continued listing rule or standard. Such public disclosure may lead to a limited amount of analyst coverage and have a negative effect on the price of our common stock.
Current report
If we are unable to comply with the continued listing requirements, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting. If NASDAQ delists our Common Stock from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

Previous wording
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).

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. At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders ratified the NOL Rights Plan. 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.

At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved the NOL Protective Charter Amendment.
Previous wording
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 wording
Because the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan were approved by our stockholders at the Special Meeting, we have included 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 and disclosed such Rights and restrictions to Persons holding our Common Stock in uncertificated form, and 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.
Previous wording
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.
