Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 except as discussed below.
We have a debt financing arrangement and preferred stock outstanding that could have a material adverse effect on our financial health and our ability to obtain financing in the future and may impair our ability to react quickly to changes in our business.
In connection with our acquisition of Safflower Holdings Corp., on May 1, 2024, we entered into a credit agreement pursuant to which we borrowed $350 million as a term loan and have a $40 million revolving credit facility available. On that same date we also issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $160 million that has a compounding dividend initially at 13% and which increases over time at specified intervals and which is mandatorily redeemable, at the option of the holders of a majority of such shares, after a specified period in specified circumstances. Our exposure to these financing obligations could limit our ability to satisfy our other obligations, limit our ability to operate our business and impair our competitive position. For example, they could:
| ● | increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, including interest rate fluctuations, because the revolving loan portion of our borrowings are at variable rates of interest; |
| ● | require us to dedicate significant future cash flows to the repayment of debt or redemption of the preferred stock, reducing the availability of cash to fund working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate purposes; |
| ● | limit our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing due to applicable financial and restrictive covenants contained in our debt and preferred stock arrangements. |
We may also incur additional indebtedness in the future, which could materially increase the impact of these risks on our financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to refinance our debt obligations or the redemption of our preferred stock. Failure to successfully refinance these obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our acquisition of Safflower Holdings Corp., as well as any future acquisitions, may have unanticipated consequences that could harm our business and our financial condition.
Our acquisition of Safflower Holdings Corp. and any other acquisition that we pursue, whether successfully completed or not, involves risks, including:
| ● | material adverse effects on our operating results, particularly in the fiscal quarters immediately following the acquisition as the acquired restaurants are integrated into our operations; |
| ● | risks associated with entering into markets or conducting operations where we have no or limited prior experience; |
| ● | problems retaining key personnel; |
| ● | potential impairment of tangible and intangible assets and goodwill acquired in the acquisition; |
| ● | potential unknown liabilities; |
| ● | difficulties of integration and failure to realize anticipated synergies; and |
| ● | disruption of our ongoing business, including diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns. |
Future acquisitions, which may be accomplished through a cash purchase transaction, the issuance of our equity securities or a combination of both, could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities and impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets, any of which could harm our business and financial condition.
