Each Series B-1 Preferred Share is convertible into a number of our common shares calculated by dividing (i) the sum of the stated value of such Series B-1 Preferred Share by (ii) a fixed conversion price of $1.92.

The issuance of our common shares upon conversion of our preferred shares will result in immediate and substantial dilution to the interests of holders of our common shares, and such dilution will increase over time in connection with the accrual of the annual return on the Series A-1 Preferred Shares.

We may incur future indebtedness that will rank senior to our preferred shares or issue additional series of preferred shares that rank on a parity with, or senior to, the preferred shares as to dividend payments and liquidation preference.

We may incur substantial amounts of additional debt and other obligations that will rank senior to the preferred shares, and the terms of the preferred shares do not limit the amount of such debt or other obligations that we may incur. The terms of the preferred shares will not prohibit us from issuing additional series of preferred shares that would rank on parity with the preferred shares. The Articles allow for our Board to create new series of preferred shares without further approval by our shareholders, which could adversely affect the rights of the holders of the preferred shares and our common shares. The issuances of other series of preferred shares could have the effect of reducing the amounts available to the preferred shares in the event of liquidation. If we issue preferred shares with voting rights that dilute the voting power of our common shares, the market price of our common shares could decrease, adversely affecting the value of the preferred shares. Additional issuances and sales of preferred shares, or the perception that such issuances and sales could occur, may cause prevailing market prices for our common shares to decline and may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital in the financial markets at times and prices favorable to it.

Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our share price.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the SEC require an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, we are currently exempt from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404(b). If we lose this eligibility, we will incur increased personnel and audit fees in connection with the additional audit requirements.

If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control
