Risk factors
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-08-14
Because our investment in SGLT represents a substantial portion of our total assets, fluctuations in the market price of SGLT’s H Shares could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations, and we may not be able to realize the carrying value of our investment.
Following the June 2026 initial public offering of Beijing Shougang LanzaTech Technology Co., Ltd. (“SGLT”), we measure our investment in SGLT at fair value based on the quoted market price of its H Shares. As of June 30, 2026, we held, through a subsidiary, 33,520,231 SGLT H Shares, representing ap…
SGLT’s H Shares have a limited public trading history, and their market price may be volatile. The market price may be affected by SGLT’s operating performance, financial condition, business prospects and management decisions; trading volume and liquidity in its H Shares; actual or anticipated sales…
Our commercial relationship with SGLT compounds this concentration risk because SGLT’s business is closely tied to the commercialization of our technology in China. Entities controlled by SGLT operate four commercial-scale facilities using our process technology, and SGLT licenses certain of our pro…
Our pre-IPO SGLT shares are subject to a one-year transfer restriction following the June 3, 2026 listing, subject to the terms of SGLT’s governing documents and applicable law. During this period, the restriction materially limits our ability to sell or otherwise monetize the shares, including in r…

The offer and issuance of the May Subscribed Shares was not registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The May Subscribed Shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act. The Company is not required to file a registration statement providing for the resale of the Shares.
The foregoing summary of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.6 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated by reference herein.
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.
