Current report

•Disruptions at the FDA, the SEC and other government agencies caused by funding shortages or government shutdowns could negatively impact our business operations and regulatory interactions.

Current report

•Our proprietary Airsculpt® method could become obsolete or less competitive due to the introduction of new, more effective, or less invasive competitor technologies

Current report

•After December 31, 2025, we will no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will no longer apply to us.

Current report

Our brand could be harmed if we fail to achieve these objectives, or if our public image were to be tarnished by negative publicity. In the aesthetic market, consumer preferences can shift rapidly, and any failure to adapt our service offerings, centers, or pricing strategies to these changing preferences could result in a material decrease in demand.

Current report

Furthermore, we are highly susceptible to negative media and social media exposure.Unfavorable publicity about us, including our procedures and technology, which may include viral content could diminish confidence in the AirSculpt® brand. Such as negative patient testimonials, reviews, or other content disseminated on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and other digital channels, could diminish confidence in AirSculpt®publicity also could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Current report

Disruptions at the FDA, the SEC and other government agencies caused by funding shortages or government shutdowns could negatively impact our business operations and regulatory interactions.

Current report

Significant disruptions to the operations of government agencies, including from prolonged or repeated shutdown of the federal government, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Recently, from January 31, 2026 to February 3, 2026, the U.S. government partially shut down. Prior to that, the U.S. government shut down from October 1, 2025 to November 12, 2025, during which time certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, furloughed certain employees and stopped critical activities. Additionally, on October 10, 2025, the U.S. government implemented substantial layoffs and workforce reductions in connection with the ongoing federal government shutdown, which resulted in the suspension or delay of various government-funded programs. Government shutdowns, if prolonged, can significantly impact the ability of government agencies upon which we rely, such as the FDA and SEC, to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Current report

For example, the SEC announced that during the prior U.S. federal government shutdown, it would not declare registration statements effective. In the event of an extended shutdown, the SEC may operate with limited staff or suspend certain functions altogether, which could delay the review or effectiveness of our filings, including registration statements or other financing-related disclosures. Such delays could adversely affect our ability to access the public markets and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue to fund our operations.

Current report

Recent governmental actions and proposals relating to tariffs and other trade policies have created uncertainty about future trading arrangements and the possibility of imposing or increasing tariffs on certain goods. For example, certain governments have imposed or may impose tariffs on a wide range of products, raw materials, and intermediate goods. Additional tariffs, or retaliatory measures by other countries in response, may be implemented at any time. Should these or similar tariffs remain in place (or be re-imposed or increased), or if additional tariffs or trade restrictions are enacted in the future, they could cause us to face higher costs or supply chain disruptions. These actions could adversely affect our margins, profitability, financial condition, and results of operations. While we have not experienced adverse impacts of tariffs to date, we cannot predict future changes in trade policy or the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements, nor can we determine the impact they may have on our business. Any such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

The aesthetic body contouring market is characterized by rapid technological change, and if we are unable to maintain the superiority of our proprietary AirSculpt® method, our business and financial results may be materially harmed.

Current report

We rely significantly on the proprietary and patented AirSculpt® method and our associated body contouring procedures as a core competitive differentiator. The market for aesthetic and cosmetic procedures is rapidly evolving and is subject to new product introductions, technological innovations, and changes in patient preferences. Our ability to compete successfully depends on our capacity to maintain the distinctiveness and perceived superiority of our procedures compared to existing and future alternatives, including traditional surgical procedures (such as liposuction and abdominoplasty) and non-surgical body fat reduction and skin tightening treatments.

Current report

Competitors may develop and introduce new technologies, products, or procedures that are more effective, less invasive, have better clinical outcomes, are more widely accepted by patients, or are more cost-effective than the AirSculpt® method. If this occurs, or if our proprietary rights are challenged or expire, our technology may become obsolete, less appealing to customers, or face significant competitive pressure. Our failure to anticipate, keep pace with, or effectively respond to these technological advances could lead to a loss of competitive advantage, a decrease in the market acceptance of our procedures, and a material adverse effect on our revenue, market share, and results of operations.

•We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world to the same extent as in the United States.

Previous report

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world to the same extent as in the United States.

Previous report

While we have applied for patent protection in the United States and internationally relating to certain of our procedures, a company may attempt to commercialize competing procedures utilizing our proprietary methods in foreign countries where we do not have any patents or patent applications and where legal recourse may be limited or unavailable. In addition, we currently own registered trademarks and trademark applications relating to our business in the United States and other markets, but other companies may own these marks in other jurisdictions. Any such third-party rights may have a significant commercial impact on our ability to expand into foreign markets.

Previous report

Filing, prosecuting and defending patents or trademarks on our current and future procedures in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive. In addition, we may not accurately predict all of the jurisdictions where patent or trademark protection will ultimately be desirable. If we fail to timely file a patent or trademark application in some jurisdictions, we may be precluded from doing so at a later date. The requirements for patentability and for obtaining trademark protection may differ in certain countries, particularly developing countries. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as laws in the United States. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from utilizing our inventions, trademarks and other proprietary rights in all countries outside the United States. Competitors may use our technologies or trademarks in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent or trademark protection to develop or market their own procedures. Our patents, trademarks or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.

Previous report

Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor, or may not be sufficiently robust for, the meaningful enforcement of patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement or other violation of our patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights. Proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents and trademarks at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and/or result in the unsuccessful prosecution of our patent or trademark applications, and could provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. In addition, many countries, including India, China and certain countries in Europe, have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. In those countries, we may have limited remedies if our patents are infringed or if we are compelled to grant a license to our patents to a third party, which could materially diminish the value of those patents. This could limit our potential revenue opportunities. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from our intellectual property. Finally, our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights may be adversely affected by unforeseen changes in foreign intellectual property laws.

Previous report

Although we do not expect to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards, and we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.

Previous report

A “controlled company,” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards, is a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company. Controlled companies are not required to comply with certain Nasdaq listing standards relating to corporate governance, including:

Previous report

•the requirement that its nominating and corporate governance committee be composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and

Previous report

Our Sponsor currently owns a majority of the voting power for the election of our directors, and thus we meet the definition of a “controlled company.” As a result, these requirements do not apply to us as long as we remain a “controlled company.”

Previous report

Although we qualify as a “controlled company,” we currently do not, and we do not expect to, rely on this exemption and we currently comply with, and we expect to continue to comply with, all relevant corporate governance requirements under the Nasdaq listing standards. However, if we were to utilize some or all of these exemptions, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq listing standards that relate to corporate governance.

Previous wording

In response to the decline in revenue we experienced during the 2024 fiscal year, we are in the process of implementing certain cost-savings initiatives and revenue growth strategies, which are discussed in further detail under the captions “Our Company,” “National and International Footprint Fueled by Attractive Unit Economics,” “Our Growth Strategies,” and “Our Marketing and Sales Efforts and Third-Party Financing” included in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We may not realize in full or in part, or within the time periods expected, the anticipated savings or benefits from one or more of the various strategies and cost-savings initiatives undertaken as part of these efforts. We also may not realize the increase in sales we expect in connection with these strategies. Our ability to improve operating results depends upon a significant number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. Other events and circumstances, such as financial and strategic difficulties and delays, unexpected costs, the impact of non-surgical methods of fat reduction, including weight-loss drugs, on the demand for our procedures, or inflationary pressures, may occur which could result in not realizing targets or in offsetting the financial benefits of reaching those targets. We may also experience a decline in revenue in the short-term, as part of the implementation of our cost-savings initiatives and revenue growth strategies, with the goal of progressing toward positive revenue and profit growth in the long-term. We are also subject to the risks of labor unrest, negative publicity and business disruption in connection with these initiatives, and the failure to realize anticipated savings or benefits from such initiatives or to implement our growth strategies could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and cash flows.

Previous wording

We have a limited operating history and our past results may not be indicative of our future performance. Further, our revenue growth rate is likely to slow as our business and our market matures.

Current wording

We have a limited operating history and our past results may not be indicative of our future performance.

Previous wording

We began operations in 2012. We have a limited history of generating revenue. As a result, our historical revenue growth should not be considered indicative of our future performance. In particular, we have experienced periods of high revenue growth, including during the global pandemic, that we do not expect to continue as the business, and the body contouring market, mature. Estimates of future revenue trends are subject to many risks and uncertainties and our future revenue may differ materially from our projections. We have encountered, and will continue to encounter, risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, including market acceptance of our procedures, attracting new patients, hiring surgeons and responding to increasing competition and expenses as we expand our business. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these and other challenges we may face in the future, and our business may be adversely affected if we do not manage these risks.

Current wording

Our success depends on our ability to maintain the value and reputation of the AirSculpt® brand, , which may be harmed by changing consumer preferences and negative publicity, including social media reviews.

Previous wording

We believe that our brand is important to attracting patients and high-quality surgeons. Maintaining, protecting, and enhancing our brand depends largely on our ability to deliver results for our patients and the success of our marketing efforts. We believe that the importance of our brand will increase as competition further intensifies. Our brand could be harmed if we fail to achieve these objectives or if our public image were to be tarnished by negative publicity. Unfavorable publicity about us, including our procedures and technology, could diminish confidence in the AirSculpt® brand. Such negative publicity also could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

We believe that the importance of our brand will increase as competition further intensifies.

Previous wording

While we do not expect to open new centers in the next year, our long-term growth strategy contemplates expanding our footprint opportunistically by opening new centers. Many of our centers are relatively new and we cannot assure you that these centers or that future centers will generate revenue comparable with those generated by our more mature locations, especially as we move to new geographic markets. Further, many of our centers are leased pursuant to multi-year leases, and our ability to negotiate favorable terms on an expiring lease or for a lease renewal option may depend on factors that are not within our control. Opportunistically expanding our footprint will require significant expenditures before any substantial associated revenue is generated and we cannot guarantee that these investments will result in corresponding and offsetting revenue growth.

Previous wording

The body contouring market is highly competitive and dynamic and is characterized by rapid and substantial technological development and product innovations. Demand for the AirSculpt® procedure could be limited by the products and technologies offered by our competitors. In the United States, we compete against companies that have developed non-invasive and other minimally-invasive procedures for body contouring, companies that have developed invasive surgical procedures for fat reduction and companies that offer non-surgical methods of fat reduction, including weight-loss drugs, and other weight loss solutions. Due to less stringent regulatory requirements, there are many more aesthetic products and procedures available for use in international markets than are approved for use in the United States. There are also fewer limitations on the claims our competitors in international markets can make about the effectiveness of their products and the manner in which they can market them. As a result, we face even greater competition in these markets than in the United States. Further, our patent protection of AirSculpt® is limited to the United States, and therefore we may face increased competition from competitors using procedures similar to the AirSculpt® procedure in other countries.

We have significant exposure to the weight loss and obesity solutions market, which is highly competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions, results of clinical research, corporate combinations, and other factors relating to the weight loss industry. Because of the market opportunity and the high growth potential of the market for weight loss and obesity solutions, existing and potential competitors have historically dedicated, and will continue to dedicate, significant resources to aggressively develop and commercialize their products. For example, in 2023, certain drugs initially approved for use in diabetes patients gained market acceptance for use in weight loss treatment following FDA approvals for weight loss indications.

Current wording

Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by disruptions in the global economy resulting from several instances of geopolitical instability, including the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, and tensions between the U.S. and China.

Previous wording

The global economy has been negatively impacted by increasing tension, uncertainty and tragedy resulting from ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The adverse and uncertain economic conditions resulting therefrom have and may further negatively impact global demand, cause supply chain disruptions and increase costs for transportation, energy and other raw materials. Furthermore, governments in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada and others have imposed financial and economic sanctions on certain industry segments and various parties in Russia and Belarus. We are monitoring the conflict including the potential impact of financial and economic sanctions on the global economy. Increased trade barriers, sanctions and other restrictions on global or regional trade could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, and resulted in market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, an increase in cyber security incidents as well as supply chain disruptions. Further escalation of geopolitical tensions related to this military conflict and/or its expansion could result in increased volatility and disruption to the global economy and the markets in which we operate adversely impacting our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Furthermore, governments in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada and others have imposed financial and economic sanctions on certain industry segments and various parties in Russia and Belarus. Additionally, in the Middle East, the Israel-Hamas war has transitioned from active combat to a fragile ceasefire, but regional volatility persists, recently drawing in Iran and other actors. Meanwhile, emerging flashpoints, notable the strategic rivalry between the U.S. and China, contribute to trade fragmentation and technological decoupling, posing longer-term supply chain and market risks. Increased trade barriers, sanctions and other restrictions on global or regional trade could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The length and impact of each ongoing conflict is highly unpredictable, and may result in market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, and increases in cybersecurity incidents as well as supply chain disruptions. Further escalation of geopolitical tensions related to these conflicts and/or their expansion could result in increased volatility and disruption to the global economy and the markets in which we operate adversely impacting our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Previous wording

As of December 31, 2024, we employed approximately 389 full-time employees and approximately 33 part-time employees. Many of our personnel are licensed to perform cosmetic services, including medical treatments, and hold licenses as physicians and nurses. Our success depends, in part, on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop and retain highly qualified personnel, including surgeons and nurses, through our affiliated Professional Associations. The demand for medical professionals increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the following years. Further, even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for medical professionals had been increasing as more consumers began gravitating to health and wellness treatments, such as medspa and cosmetic services. As a result, we have increased, and may continue to increase, the salaries and bonuses for both potential and existing personnel. Additionally, many of the jurisdictions in which we operate our centers have their own licensing or similar requirements applicable to our personnel, and the onboarding and training process for each of our employees and our independent contractors can take several months. If we cannot identify, hire, develop and retain adequate staff for our centers through our affiliated Professional Associations, we will not be able to open new centers on a timely basis or adequately staff existing centers.

Current wording

Our collective insurance coverage may not cover all claims against us. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available at a cost allowing us to maintain adequate levels of insurance. If one or more successful claims against us, our affiliated Professional Associations or surgeons were not covered by or exceeded the coverage of our insurance, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

In addition, our five centers located in California represented 20% of our revenue in 2024 and 2023. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by disruptions in the Southern California economy resulting from recent wildfires. We expect that disruptions in the Southern California economy resulting from recent wildfires may impact the demand for our procedures at our five centers located in California, in particular at our center located in Beverly Hills. In the event of any other adverse regulatory, economic or other developments in any of the states and jurisdictions in which we have a higher concentration of centers there could be unanticipated adverse impacts on our business in those states and jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Previous wording

Because our senior management has been key to our success, we are highly dependent on Dr. Aaron Rollins, our founder and Executive Chairman of our board of directors. We do not maintain “key man” life insurance policies on any of our officers. Competition for senior management generally, and within the cosmetic surgery and healthcare industry specifically, is intense and we may not be able to recruit and retain the personnel we need if we were to lose an existing member of senior management. Because our senior management is instrumental to our future success, the loss of key management personnel, without adequate replacements, or our inability to attract, retain and motivate sufficient numbers of qualified management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have in recent years depended on our relationship with our Sponsor to help guide our business plan. Our Sponsor has significant expertise in financial matters. This expertise was available to us through the representatives our Sponsor has on our board of directors and as a result of our management agreement with an affiliate of our Sponsor (the "Management Agreement"). In connection with the completion of our IPO, the Management Agreement terminated. Daniel Sollof and Adam Feinstein remain on our board of directors and hold contractual rights to seats on our board of directors for as long as our Sponsor maintains certain levels of ownership of our common stock. We have entered into, and may in the future enter into, agreements with our Sponsor which constitute related-party transactions as defined under Item 404 of Regulation S-K, as disclosed in further detail in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.” As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, affiliates of our Sponsor beneficially own 50.1% of our common stock. Affiliates of our Sponsor may elect to reduce their ownership in our Company, which could reduce or eliminate the benefits we have historically achieved through our relationship with it.

Our Sponsor has significant expertise in financial matters, which is available to us through the representatives our Sponsor has on our board of directors. Our Sponsor holds contractual rights to seats on our board of directors for as long as our Sponsor maintains certain levels of ownership of our common stock. We have entered into, and may in the future enter into, agreements with our Sponsor which constitute related-party transactions as defined under Item 404 of Regulation S-K, as disclosed in further detail in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.” As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, affiliates of our Sponsor beneficially own 47% of our common stock. Affiliates of our Sponsor may elect to reduce their ownership in our Company, which could reduce or eliminate the benefits we have historically achieved through our relationship with our Sponsor..

In consideration of the Third Amendment, the Company paid a fee equal to 0.15% of the outstanding loans to consenting Lenders, and a $125,000 arrangement fee to SVB. On March 12, 2025, in connection with the Third Amendment, the Company, SVB and our Sponsor (through certain affiliated entities) entered into that certain Limited Guarantee by and among Vesey Street Capital Partners Healthcare Fund, L.P., Vesey Street Capital Partners Healthcare Fund-A, L.P., SVB and the Company (the “Limited Guarantee”), pursuant to which our Sponsor agreed to provide a $10.0 million guaranty of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.

Under the terms of the Limited Guarantee, if Sponsor is required to make any payment under the Limited Guarantee (other than as a result of a bankruptcy event), then Sponsor will be deemed to have purchased shares of common stock of the Company having an aggregate value equal to the amount of such payment. The Company has agreed to issue a subordinated note to Sponsor if a payment occurs under the Limited Guarantee, to the extent such payment does not result from the issuance of shares of common stock by the Company to Sponsor.

In addition, our Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility contain other and more restrictive covenants, including covenants requiring us to maintain specified financial ratios triggered in certain situations and to satisfy other financial condition tests. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will continue to meet those tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under our Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. We have pledged substantially all of our assets, excluding assets of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, as security under our Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility. If the lenders under our Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to repay our Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility and our other indebtedness.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future, including secured indebtedness. Although the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility, including the recent Third Amendment, contains restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and the indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. In addition, as of December 31, 2024 we had no availability under our Revolver. If new debt is added to our or our subsidiaries’ current debt levels, the related risks that we face would be increased.

New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be enacted at any time, which could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance. Further, existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”) enacted many significant changes to the U.S. tax laws. Future guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities may affect us, and certain aspects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act or other U.S. tax laws could be repealed or modified in future legislation. In addition, it is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to any newly enacted federal tax legislation.

Proposals to change U.S. or foreign tax laws could have an adverse impact on our effective tax rate, income tax expense, and financial performance. For example, the U.S. Congress, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”), and other government agencies are considering various proposals that may affect the taxation of multinational corporations. Although we cannot predict whether or in what form these proposals may pass, changes in corporate tax rates, the realization of net deferred tax assets relating to our operations, the taxation of foreign earnings, or other changes could have a material impact on the value of our deferred tax assets, could result in significant one-time charges, or could increase our future tax expense.

Information Act (CMIA) regulates the disclosure of medical information, and applies to the IIHI we Process in the ordinary course of our Business. Violations of the CMIA can result in personal liability to the patient, the imposition of administrative fines and civil penalties, and even criminal liability. Additionally, the CCPA provides certain exceptions for some IIHI, but is still applicable to certain PII we process in the ordinary course of our business. The effects of the CCPA are wide-ranging and afford consumers certain rights with respect to PII, including a private right of action for data breaches involving certain personal information of California residents. The California voters also passed, on November 3, 2020, the California Privacy Rights Act, or CPRA, which went into effect on January 1, 2023, and expanded the rights of consumers under the CCPA and create a new enforcement agency. As new data security laws are implemented, we may not be able to timely comply with such requirements, or such requirements may not be compatible with our current processes. Changing our processes could be time consuming and expensive, and failure to implement required changes in a timely manner could subject us to liability for non-compliance. Consumers may also be afforded a private right of action for certain violations of privacy laws. This complex, dynamic legal landscape regarding privacy, data protection, and information security creates significant compliance issues for us and potentially restricts our ability to Process data and may expose us to additional expense, adverse publicity and liability. While we believe we have implemented data privacy and security measures in an effort to comply with applicable laws and regulations, and we have implemented measures to require our third-party service providers to maintain reasonable data privacy and security measures, we cannot guarantee that these efforts will be adequate, and we may be subject to cybersecurity, ransomware or other security incidents. Further, it is possible that laws, rules and regulations relating to privacy, data protection, or information security may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our practices or those of our third-party service providers.

State statutes and regulations also protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity, security, and other Processing of IIHI/PII and vary from state to state. These laws and regulations are often ambiguous, contradictory, and subject to changing or differing interpretations, and we expect new laws, rules and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and information security to be proposed and enacted in the future.

As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information that they may deem important. We could remain an emerging growth company until December 31, 2026, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if our total annual gross revenue is $1.235 billion or more, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the previous three-year period, or if the Company qualifies as a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.

As a public company, we are required to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting. Furthermore, at such time as we cease to be an “emerging growth company,” as more fully described in the risk factor “We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Securities Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors,” we will also be required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. At such time, we may identify material weaknesses that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the applicable deadline imposed upon us for compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of our evaluation, testing and any remediation actions or the impact of the same on our operations. If we are not able to implement the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify as to their effectiveness, which could have a significant and adverse effect on our business and reputation.

When these exemptions cease to apply, we expect to incur additional expenses and devote increased management effort toward ensuring compliance with them. We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although we may cease to be an emerging growth company earlier under certain circumstances.

After December 31, 2025 we will no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company”. As a result, we will be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements pursuant to SOX 404. To achieve compliance with Section 404 of SOX, we are engaged in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants, adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented, and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. See the risk factor"After December 31, 2025, we will no longer qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act, and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will no longer apply to us" for additional information on the potential implications of our loss of emerging growth company status.
