Concern over climate change has led to, and may in the future lead to, new or increased legal and regulatory requirements designed to reduce or mitigate the effects of climate change, which could increase our operating or capital expenses and compliance burdens. Applicable laws and regulations require us to obtain and maintain permits and approvals and implement programs and procedures to control risks associated with our operations. Compliance in these or other areas may increase our general and administrative costs and adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows. Moreover, failure to comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to our business could expose us to investigation, enforcement actions, litigation, and substantial fines and penalties that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. These laws, regulations, or rules and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could be substantial and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. We cannot predict the nature and timing of future developments in law and regulations and whether we will be successful in meeting future demands of regulatory bodies in a manner which will not materially adversely affect Beacon.

For a description of the Acquisition, see “Summary—Pending Acquisition of Beacon—Agreement to Acquire Beacon.” This offering is not contingent on consummation of the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is not consummated, we intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes. The following table outlines the sources and uses of funds for the Acquisition, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock in this offering. The table assumes that the Acquisition and this offering of Common Stock are completed simultaneously, but this
