|
• |
Term – the expected life of the warrants was assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term.
|
• |
Risk-free rate – the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect on the date of valuation equal to the remaining expected life of the Warrants.
|
• |
Volatility – the Company estimated the volatility of its common stock warrants based on implied volatility and actual historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded companies observed over a historical period equal to
the expected remaining life of the Warrants.
|
• |
Dividend yield – the dividend yield percentage is zero because the Company does not currently pay dividends, nor does it intend to do so during the expected term of the Private Placement Warrants.
|
• |
may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the IPO, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in our Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of our Class A common stock on a greater than
one-to-one basis upon conversion of our Class B common stock;
|
• |
may subordinate the rights of holders of our Class A common stock if shares of preferred stock are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A common stock;
|
• |
could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the
resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;
|
• |
may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and
|
• |
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock and/or warrants. Similarly, if we issue debt securities, or otherwise incur significant debt, it could result in:
|
• |
default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;
|
• |
acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a
waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
|
• |
our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;
|
• |
our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt is outstanding;
|
• |
our inability to pay dividends on our common or preferred stock;
|
• |
using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and
acquisitions and fund other general corporate purposes;
|
• |
limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;
|
• |
increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and
|
• |
limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements and execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors
who have less debt.
