Additionally, the digitization and republication of historical materials may inadvertently expose us to infringement risks if the original rights holders or their successors have not been properly identified or consulted.

Our employees and the individuals we seek to hire, particularly, in respect of our media and entertainment business, our executive officers, editorial staff, creative directors and other professionals, are highly sought after by our competitors and other companies, some of which have greater resources than we have and may offer compensation and benefits packages that are perceived to be better than ours. As a result, we may incur significant costs to attract new employees and retain our existing employees and we may lose talent through attrition or be unable
