 continue to have an adverse effect on our revenue, level of expenses, and results of operations. Further, whether such a strategic transaction is ultimately consummated or not, its pendency could have a number of negative effects on our current business, including potentially disrupting our regular operations, increasing our near-term costs, diverting the attention of our workforce and management team and increasing

undesired workforce turnover. It could also disrupt existing business relationships, make it harder to develop new business relationships, or otherwise negatively impact the way that we operate our business.

If we fail to address the foregoing risks or other problems encountered in connection with past or future acquisitions, dispositions, investments or other strategic collaborations, or if we are unable to successfully integrate and manage our acquisitions and investments, or if we are unable to successfully complete other strategic initiatives or such initiatives do not meet our strategic objectives, we may not realize the expected benefits of such strategic initiatives or we may become exposed to additional liabilities, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The impairment of intangible assets, goodwill, and other assets arising from any future acquisitions or investments may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 

When we acquire or invest in a business, a substantial portion of the purchase price of the acquisition may be allocated to goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. Under U.S. GAAP, we review goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, and more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of goodwill or an indefinite-lived asset below its carrying value. An adverse change in market conditions or operating results, particularly if such change has the effect of changing one of our critical assumptions or estimates, could result in a change to the estimation of fair value that could result in an impairment charge to our goodwill or intangible assets. Moreover, we may not be able to achieve our business targets for any future acquisitions or investments, which could result in us incurring additional goodwill and other intangible assets impairment charges. Further declines in our market capitalization increase the risk that we may be required to perform another impairment analysis, which could result in an impairment of up to the entire balance of our goodwill and other intangible assets. Any such impairment charge or write-off may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

A cyberattack, security breach, or incident affecting us or the third parties we rely on or partner with could
