, in certain jurisdictions where we operate. Moreover, it is not always clear how such laws and regulations apply to our business and some of our customers’ industries (e. g., e-wallets and money remitters), including, but not limited to, the fact that some of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the internet, mobile and related technologies, and as a result, do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the internet and related technologies, which may be especially relevant in the context of the payments industry in which we operate. As a result, some of these laws are subject to interpretation by regulators and the courts on an ongoing basis and the resulting uncertainty in the scope and application of these laws and regulations increases the risk that we will be subject to private claims and governmental actions alleging violations of those laws and regulations, including with respect to our payments practices, compliance with informational requirements, or even claims that we may be conducting business without required licenses and/or authorizations thereunder in certain jurisdictions. We may be subject to increased scrutiny by regulatory authorities in certain instances where such regulatory authorities incorrectly attribute our jurisdiction of organization or corporate structure to that of a different country or entity than our actual jurisdiction of organization or corporate structure, which can enhance risks related to regulatory oversight in certain countries due to potential geopolitical tensions. We may also be subject to increased reputational risk, or scrutinized for compliance with labor, social security or tax requirements in connection with certain of our employment practices in different jurisdictions. In addition, we cannot assure you that laws and regulations applicable to us, the products that we offer, and our customers, will not be modified or interpreted in ways that could adversely affect our business.

If we are unable to effectively manage our business to address the market demands and complexities of operating a multinational business, including due to any failure to operate our business in compliance with applicable laws and regulations across the various countries in which we operate, or adapt our business to changing legal and regulatory conditions in these countries, or fail to interpret existing or changing laws and regulations in line with the interpretations adopted by the relevant regulatory authorities, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

See also “ - We may not currently hold, or be able to obtain or maintain the relevant regulatory licenses, permissions or registrations to carry out our business in the various jurisdictions in which we operate, which may subject us to fines, penalties or force us to discontinue operations in such jurisdictions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
