This type of litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which would harm our business, operating results or financial condition. Unstable market and economic conditions may have serious adverse consequences on our business, financial condition and stock price. The global economy, including credit and financial markets, has experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates, increases in inflation rates, higher interest rates and uncertainty about economic stability. For example, the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas war created volatility in the global capital markets and may have further global economic consequences, including disruptions of the global supply chain and energy markets. The imposition of tariffs by the United States on imports from Canada, China and Mexico and retaliatory tariffs or other actions by the governments of such countries have also created economic uncertainty and disruptions in the capital markets.

In addition, higher inflation could also increase customers’ operating costs, which could result in reduced budgets for customers and potentially less demand for our products, if and when approved. Any significant increases in inflation and related increase in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. 64 Recently there have been significant changes to U.S. trade policies, sanctions, legislation, treaties and tariffs, including, but not limited to, trade policies and tariffs affecting products from outside of the U.S. For example, in early 2025, the U.S. imposed blanket 10% tariffs on virtually all imports to the U.S. and significantly higher tariffs applicable to imports from many countries, plus tariffs on specific goods of between 7.5% and 100%, which have resulted in other countries imposing additional tariffs on imports from the U.S., and actions by the U.S. are likely to continue to
