Our status as a “controlled company” will concentrate control with our majority owner and may limit your ability to influence corporate matters and result in corporate governance that differs from that of other public companies.
As of March 13, 2026, David H. Hoffmann, our Chairman of the Board, beneficially owns 53.5% of the aggregate voting power of our outstanding capital stock.
As a result, we will be a “controlled company” under the corporate-governance standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) for so long as more than 50% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock is held by Mr. Hoffmann. We will effectively be a closely held corporation with a single…
Even if we do not rely on the controlled-company exemptions, the concentration of voting power with Mr. Hoffmann will allow him to exert significant influence over all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including the election and removal of directors, amendments to our organizational d…
This concentrated control could discourage, delay, or prevent a change of control that stockholders may consider favorable, limit your ability to influence our corporate policies and adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock. Investors who do not agree with the decisions of…

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
