Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following are important factors that could affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from our anticipated results or other expectations, including those expressed in any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report, our other filings with the SEC or in presentations such as webcasts open to the public. You should carefully consider the following factors in conjunction with this Quarterly Report, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 – Part I and our consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 1 – Part I. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, or other risks that we are not aware of become material, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to historical results, risks and impacts to the business are with respect to Beacon and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Beacon Acquisition.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock

The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the Depositary Shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The market price of our common stock is likely influenced by our outstanding Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the Depositary Shares. The market price of our common stock could become more volatile and could be depressed by: (i) investors’ anticipation of the potential resale in the market of a substantial number of additional shares of common stock received upon conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (and, correspondingly, the Depositary Shares); (ii) possible sales of our common stock by investors who view the Depositary Shares as a more attractive means of equity participation in us than owning shares of common stock; and (iii) hedging or arbitrage trading activity that we expect to develop involving the Depositary Shares and our common stock.

Our common stock ranks junior to our Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock and our Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to dividends and amounts payable in the event of our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution.

Our common stock ranks junior to both our Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), and our Mandatory Convertible Preferred
