 services by customers from an increasing number of countries and regions worldwide. The success of our businesses therefore depends on our ability to successfully predict and adapt to changing customer tastes and preferences in these various countries and regions. Our brands and reputation are our key assets. Negative perceptions or publicity of us or our brands could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our brands and reputation are our key assets and play an important role in earning and maintaining the trust and confidence of our existing and prospective customers. In respect of our media business, we believe our brands are powerful and trusted with the reputation for high -qualityeditorial and content independence. Our brands, including, among others, L’Officiel and The Art Newspaper, might be damaged by incidents that erode customer trust such as negative publicity, a perception that our content is not timely or unreliable, or a decline in the perceived value of editorial independent or general trust in the media, which may be in part as a result of changing political and cultural environments worldwide or active campaigns by commercial participants. We may introduce new products or services that are not well received and that may negatively affect our brands. Our brands and reputation could also be adversely impacted by negative claims or publicity regarding us or our operations, personnel, products, employees, practices, including social, data privacy and environmental practices, or business affiliates, including advertisers, as well as our potential inability to adequately respond to such negative claims or publicity, even if such claims are untrue. Furthermore, our brands and reputation could be damaged if we fail to provide adequate customer service, or by failures of third -partyvendors we rely on in many contexts. We invest in defining and enhancing our brands. These investments are considerable and may not be successful. We license L’Officiel and The Art Newspaper trademarks and domain names and other intellectual properties we use in our business from AMTD Group Inc. If any of the foregoing were to be experienced by AMTD Group Inc. or any of its affiliates, the L’Officiel and The Art Newspaper brands could also be adversely affected. To the extent our brands and reputation are damaged, our ability to attract and retain readers, audiences, advertisers and talented employees could be adversely affected, which could in turn have an adverse impact on our business, revenues and operating results. The prestige and reputation of our publications are critical to our success in attracting premium advertisers. If we fail to uphold the standard of content and design that our audience and advertisers expect, or if our brand perception diminishes for any reason, we may lose the appeal
