Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of our Class A common stock.
The public offering price of our Class A common stock will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share. Therefore, if you purchase shares of Class A common stock in this offering, you will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our net tangible book value per share after this offering. Please refer to the section below entitled “Dilution” for more information.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or acquisitions.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Class A common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any future offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into our Class A common stock, in future transactions or acquisitions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.
In addition, we may engage in one or more potential acquisitions in the future, which could involve issuing our Class A common stock as some or all of the consideration payable by us to complete such acquisitions. If we issue Class A common stock or securities linked to our Class A common stock, the newly issued securities may have a dilutive effect on the interests of the holders of our Class A common stock. Additionally, future sales of newly issued shares used to effect an acquisition could depress the market price of our Class A common stock.
Our founder, chairman and CEO, Jirka Rysavy, has voting control over us.
Mr. Rysavy holds 100% of our 5,400,000 outstanding shares of Class B common stock and also owns 475,061 shares of Class A common stock. The shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at any time. Each share of Class B common stock has ten votes per share, and each share of Class A common stock has one vote per share. Consequently, Mr. Rysavy holds approximately 78% of our voting stock and is able to exert substantial influence over and control matters requiring approval by shareholders, including the election of directors, increasing our authorized capital stock, or a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets. As a result of Mr. Rysavy’s control of us, no change of control can occur without Mr. Rysavy’s consent.
We have no current plans to pay cash dividends on our Class A common stock; as a result, our shareholders may not receive any return on investment unless our shareholders sell their Class A common stock for a price greater than that which they paid for it.
We have no current plans to pay dividends on our Class A common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on many factors, including our cash balances and potential future capital requirements for strategic transactions, including acquisitions, results of operations, financial condition and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay cash dividends is restricted by the terms of our credit agreement, which contains terms restricting or limiting the amount of dividends that may be declared or paid on our Class A common stock. As a result, our shareholders may not receive any return on an investment in our Class A common stock unless they sell their Class A common stock for a price greater than that which they paid for it.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A common stock could cause our stock price to fall.
In order to raise additional capital, we may, in the future, offer additional shares of our Class A common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Class A common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Class A common stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.
