Company
history
SharonAI,
Inc. (“SharonAI”), the Company’s current operating and wholly-owned subsidiary, is a corporation formed in Delaware
on February 15, 2024, with the intent to act as a holding company to acquire various assets focused on or in the High Performance Computing
(“HPC”) industry and the AI field of technology, and currently one of Australia’s
leading neoclouds, a cloud infrastructure provider that focuses on specialized, high-performance compute—especially GPU-heavy workloads
for AI, machine learning, and HPC. HPC is a computing technology that uses clusters of processors or processor cores working in parallel
to solve advanced computational problems across a wide range of scientific, engineering, finance, business and other fields. SharonAI
is specifically focused on infrastructure and technology associated with the development and delivery of these HPC/AI services to users
and applications which require both large amounts of Graphic Processing Units (“GPU”) and Central Processing Units (“CPU”),
combined with data storage. CPUs are general purpose processors while GPUs are optimized for parallel processing and were originally
used for computer graphics. Data storage is used to store the large data sets common in HPC/AI and to back up information. SharonAI’s
two main business lines are an AI/HPC cloud platform, which is based in Australia, and the development of data center assets, which is
based in the U.S., each as described further below.

Key
operational and strategic milestones
In
March of 2024, we formed two new wholly owned subsidiaries in Delaware, SharonAI Operations LLC, which is intended to be used for
U.S. based operational activities as its operations expand to the U.S., and SharonAI Hosting LLC, which is intended to be used to hold
assets that are acquired in the future and based in the U.S.
In
April of 2024, we acquired 100% of the issued capital of Alternative Asset Management Pty Ltd ACN 645 215 194, an Australian company
that was renamed SharonAI Pty Ltd (“SAIPL”) and which has a business operating distributed data storage a type of cloud storage
that utilizes Web 3 technology to provide decentralized networks of independent nodes to securely store and retrieve data, ensuring redundancy,
fault tolerance, and resistance to censorship while incentivizing storage providers with blockchain-based rewards. This acquisition was
part of a transaction in which SAIPL also obtained certain assets from Digital Income Fund Pty Ltd ACN 643 155 328 as trustee for the
Digital Income Fund ABN 12 771 427 247 (“DIF”), an Australian company which had storage servers and ancillary equipment for
the operation of the distributed storage operations. In addition to these assets, SAIPL had acquired a Tier 3 designed modular data center,
although it had not fully paid for the equipment at the time of acquisition.
In
June 2024, we acquired a controlling interest in Distributed Storage Solutions Limited (‘DSS’), an Australian
company established in 2021 that specialized in distributed cloud data storage and HPC and AI infrastructure. This was a critical step
in delivering storage infrastructure, technical expertise and accelerating deep industry relationships. DSS had been providing decentralized,
enterprise-grade storage systems for customers for multiple years and brought us an operational team and strategic partnerships
with NVIDIA and Lenovo.
Between
June and December 2024, we acquired 192 NVIDIA L40S GPUs, materially expanding
the company’s GPU fleet size. Over this time, we observed and confirmed positive unit economics for the GPU fleet which led to a
decision to further expand into GPU compute. This involved planning for the next GPU form factor acquisition, which was a group of 160
NVIDIA H100s.
In December 2024, we completed testing using older models of NVIDIA GPUs to
demonstrate that it could successfully deliver HPC use cases under NVIDIA reference architecture. This milestone led to us being certified
as an NCP partner. We are one of three NCPs currently operating in Australia, part of a global network of cloud partners.
We continued to build proprietary technology beyond the provision
of hardware and storage. In February 2025, we launched the SharonAI Cloud, an orchestration and automation platform, enabling
self-provisions GPU compute for AI training, inference, Visual Effects (‘VFX’) rendering and complex HPC workloads.
This marked our transition from a purely supply hardware capacity to an AI infrastructure provider that allows customers
to deploy GPU compute autonomously and at scale.
In
March 2025, we announced the development of a supercluster (‘Supercluster’), which is an interconnected
network of a material number of specialized processors and high-speed memory constructed on NVIDIA reference architecture, built to function
as a single and powerful computer. Designed as a system of more than 1,000 GPUs hosted inside NEXTDC’s M3 data center, the Supercluster
is dedicated to large-scale AI and HPC workloads.
In
October 2025, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (‘MOU’) with Cisco to establish a strategic
collaboration for managed enterprise cloud AI solutions. Under the terms of the MOU, Cisco will provide technical guidance on
architecting enterprise-ready AI data centers, facilitate customer introductions, and offer solution engineering support for complex
opportunities deploying Cisco products and technologies. This strategic collaboration marked our evolution from a pure
infrastructure provider to a turnkey enterprise AI solution partner with direct channel access to Australia’s largest
corporate and government customers through Cisco’s sales network.
In
December 2025, we through our Australian subsidiary SharonAI Pty Ltd, entered
into an agreement with strategic partner NEXTDC to materially expand upon its existing data center footprint, including the Supercluster,
with up to 50MW of additional capacity in NEXTDC’s data center facility, providing us with access to data center availability that
will enable us to expand and deploy more than 20,000 NVIDIA B200, B300, or GB300 GPUs.
Over
the course of 2025, we deployed the Supercluster network and Spine at the NEXTDC M3 Data Center, and also acquired 16 NVIDIA H200s,
which were primarily used for customer latency testing and proof of concepts. we also broadened its strategic partner ecosystem
through further partnerships with VAST and Megaport to position itself as one of Australia’s leading Neoclouds.
In
January 2026, we signed its first major customer contract with lighthouse customer, Canva and industry participant GMI Cloud US Inc.
We are continuing the strong momentum and is aiming to convert its pipeline of customers into signed agreements to materially scale
the business.
We believe that we are well positioned to win new customers and achieve significant scale in the Asia-Pacific region, supported by its product
and service offering and sector tailwinds driven by anticipated structural demand for accelerated computing. This growth is underpinned by the strategic engagements which we have in
place.

Key
corporate milestones
On
January 28,2025, Roth CH Acquisition Co., a publicly traded Cayman Islands company trading on the OTC Market (Roth CH), entered
into a business combination agreement, with Roth CH Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Roth CH
(Merger Sub), SharonAI Inc. and Roth CH Holdings, Inc. (Roth CH Holdings) (the BCA). Under the BCA, Roth CH merged
with and into Roth CH Holdings on 16 December 2025 and was renamed “SharonAI Holdings Inc.” and become domesticated in the
State of Delaware, and Merger Sub merged with and into SharonAI Inc. becoming the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction
was completed in December 2025.
As
a result of the BCA transaction described above, equity holders of SharonAI Inc. received the Company’s securities. Shares of SharonAI Holdings Inc. Class A Ordinary Common Stock began trading on the OTC Markets under the ticker symbol
“SHAZ” on December 18, 2025.
To
fund our expansion, we have undertaken two material capital raisings, and a divestment of a non-core asset.
In
December 2025, we successfully completed a US$103 million pre-initial public offering (‘Pre-IPO’) capital
raising in the form of unsecured convertible notes, introducing new institutional and strategic shareholders. As part of this transaction
Digital Alpha Advisors LLC, which has a strategic collaboration agreement with Cisco, invested in us via the unsecured convertible
note and remain strategic investors in the Company.
Also
in December 2025, we announced a transition from a hybrid model of site development to a pure-play Neocloud operator for the
immediate term. We had previously formed a 50:50 joint venture, Texas Critical Data Center LLC (‘TCDC’), with New
Era Energy & Digital Inc (‘New Era’) in January 2025, to fund and develop a data center site with a natural
gas fired power plant in the Permian Basin of western Texas. SharonAI sold its 50% interest in TCDC to its joint venture partner,
New Era, for a consideration of US$70 million, paid via a combination of cash, a secured convertible promissory note and equity in
New Era. The transaction was completed in January 2026.
On January 19, 2026, we announced a potential investment from Digital Alpha of up to $200 million and a strategic
technology partnership with Cisco, subject to execution of definitive documentation which is expected to enable the Company to further
accelerate customer deployments and expand our cloud infrastructure for enterprise AI and high-performance compute in Australia and Asia
Pacific.
On
January 22, 2026, Mr. Wolfgang Schubert, resigned as our Chief Executive Officer and from our board of directors (the
“Board”). In connection with Mr. Schubert’s resignation as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, on January 22,
2026, the Board appointed Mr. James Manning, Non-Executive Chairman, director and greater than 10% stockholder of the Company, as
our Chief Executive Officer.
On
January 22, 2026, we announced that
USD.AI had approved a debt facility of up to US$500 million for SharonAI, a subsidiary of the Company, subject to execution of
definitive documentation. The facility is expected to enable us to access asset-backed, non-recourse financing through USD.AI’s
on-chain credit system, which is expected to allow approved GPU deployments to be financed with stablecoin liquidity. The structure is
designed to support capital-efficient expansion of AI infrastructure while reducing reliance on traditional bank and private credit markets.
In
February 2026, we listed on the NASDAQ Capital Markets, raising US$125 million in a concurrent underwritten public offering before
costs. This transaction was a key strategic step that is expected to enable us to access to the largest public capital market in the
world, providing us with capital raising alternatives which could lower its weighted average cost of capital while minimizing
near-term equity dilution.
Industry
Overview
Cloud
computing is at its core the delivery of compute and storage servers and software applications over the internet. It has gained popularity
in part due to the flexibility around paying only for what customers need and outsourcing the acquisition and management of the infrastructure.
Traditional cloud computing is based on CPUs but more recently, cloud GPU computing, or GPU-as-a-Service, has increased, propelled by
demand for high-performance computing across a range of data-intensive and computationally complex applications. Enterprises and researchers
increasingly rely on advanced GPUs to power AI, machine learning, data analytics, computer vision, scientific simulations, and other
tasks that require large-scale parallel processing. This has led to growth in both the demand and supply of on-demand GPU resources.
This combination of increasing workloads that demand parallel processing and evolving consumption models that make GPUs more accessible
has caused industry growth, creating specialized GPU-as-a-Service and GPU cloud platforms including the competitors listed below. The
AI industry also faces challenges, with concerns including bias and misuse as well as around the environmental impact of the growing
data center industry.
Cloud
storage is an integral part of cloud computing which increasingly deals with large data sets. One of the first modern cloud services
offered was Amazon Web Services’ Simple Storage Service (S3). There are different use cases for storage, including high-performance
storage optimized for rapid data access and backup storage for data that is accessed less frequently.
Data
centers are used to host the compute and storage servers, providing security, electricity, cooling and network connectivity. According
to a research report by CBRE, the rise of AI compute is driving demand for power-intensive infrastructure, including a premium on energy-efficiency
capabilities such as liquid cooling over air cooling. In addition, tertiary and rural markets have seen increased deal activity for powered
land. The recently announced Project Stargate highlights the strategic importance of data center infrastructure and President Trump announced
plans by the government and private industry to invest up to $500 billion over the next four years in the U.S. as part of the project.
The demand for data center infrastructure has also created challenges around the supply chain and the procurement of critical components,
including on the power generation side.

Compute
Infrastructure
We work closely with NVIDIA to ensure compute infrastructure meets their stringent NVIDIA Cloud Partner reference architecture. This architectural
design delivers maximum throughput and minimum latency across the entire cluster, ensuring no bottlenecks across compute, storage or
network IO.
Critical
AI, ML and HPC tasks rely on end-to-end latency and throughput guarantees. NVIDIA’s reference architecture ensures that valuable
GPU compute time is not wasted over the course of large, complex workloads, particularly where large data transfers would typically slow
down traditional cloud or enterprise networks.
NVIDIA’s
non-blocking leaf and spine network design is architected specifically for the desired cluster size, and is delivered in entirety as
the first step of a cluster build. This ensures that growth of the cluster from the first GPU to the last meet the required performance
levels no matter what stage of the rollout, and compute resources are available as they come online without delay at maximum performance.
We collaborate with a number of GPU, technology and digital infrastructure providers to construct and deliver its compute infrastructure.
As
a certified NCP, we are technically aligned with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing roadmap and is capable of deploying and
operating high-performance GPU infrastructure at scale. We build our GPU cloud platform around NVIDIA’s latest generation
of training and inference accelerators and leverages NVIDIA’s reference architectures to ensure optimal performance, efficiency
and interoperability for enterprise and research customers.
Central
to this partnership is the SharonAI Supercluster, a 1,016-GPU deployment built to NVIDIA reference architecture specifications and
designed to support complex AI training workloads with high-bandwidth interconnects, low-latency communication and sovereign hosting
requirements. This is co-located at NEXTDC’s M3 data center in Melbourne, Australia and currently features NVIDIA H200 GPUs
interconnected with NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking for high-speed, low-latency performance required for large-scale model
training and inference. The balance of this cluster is expected to consist of NVIDIA B200 GPUs expected to come online in the
first half of 2026.
By utilizing NVIDIA-accelerated platforms and software frameworks, We integrate
pre-configured ML environments, orchestration tooling and enterprise-grade APIs into its cloud, reducing time-to-deployment for customers
and ensuring compatibility with the rapidly evolving NVIDIA AI software stack. This strategic alignment is designed to allow us to scale
its GPU cloud footprint quickly and reliably, providing customers with the performance and flexibility required to operationalize generative
AI pipelines, HPC applications and other latency-sensitive workloads.
We are also deploying a 1,024-unit NVIDIA B300 GPU cluster which
will be located at NEXTDC’s S3 data center and expected to be coming online in the first half of 2026. This cluster is also built
in partnership with Cisco and is expected to be Australia’s first Cisco Secure AI Factory.
GPU-as-a-Service
Architecture
We operate a focused GPU-as-a-Service platform spanning the core layers of the AI infrastructure stack required to deliver compute capacity
to end customers.
Unlike
traditional hyperscalers that typically offer broad Infrastructure-as-a-Service (‘IaaS’) with AI as one component, Neoclouds
like SharonAI are purpose built from inception for high density, low latency GPU compute. This specialization manifests in:
Reference
Architecture Deployment: Building to NVIDIA’s proprietary specifications for optimal performance;
Thermal
Design Optimization: Advanced cooling solutions (liquid to chip) supporting high density GPU clusters;
Network
Architecture: Spine and leaf network topology with high bandwidth, low latency interconnects optimized for distributed training; and
AI

Network architecture is engineered
to NVIDIA reference design specifications to ensure optimal performance of GPU clusters. The Company collaborates with NVIDIA, Cisco and
Lenovo on network spine and leaf architecture design to maximize cluster efficiency and maintain low latency interconnects capable of
supporting distributed training across thousands of GPUs.
Secure external access into the GPU clusters is handled by our orchestration and customer portal. Customers are identified by their chosen enterprise single sign-on (SSO) offering, and strict network isolation, multi
tenancy controls and encrypted communications ensure connectivity is seamlessly secure.
Software
& Orchestration Layer
Our
orchestration and automation platform allow customers to deploy GPU compute autonomously and at scale. It provides us with the
foundation for repeatable onboarding of enterprise customers, offering scaling up or down with guaranteed, non-contended resources and
migration of workloads from simulation into production.
Proprietary
inference engine and orchestration platform allow customers to consume AI capabilities via tokens or models, abstracted from the underlying
GPU technology. This design enables:
●Interoperability
across different GPU types and design architectures (i.e. NVIDIA, AMD)
●Ease
of integration or migration of customer workloads from on-prem or cloud offerings into Sharon
AI
●Extension
of asset useful life through inference optimization, enabling older generation GPUs to remain
economically viable for inference workloads even as newer chips are used to optimize training
workloads.
●Customer
focus on AI outcomes (tokens, models, inference calls) rather than infrastructure management
-15-
Customer
Access & Services Layer
Multiple
customer access models including bare metal GPU servers, virtual servers, containers, and managed Kubernetes, as well as a host of preconfigured
applications, environments, blueprints and tools. Customers may choose from either a simple “one-click deploy” interface

guides or reach out directly to our technical support staff for further assistance.
Funding
for Compute Infrastructure
Our growth and investment in future
GPU hardware acquisition and infrastructure development requires substantial capital. To fund this expansion strategy necessitates significant
capital, the Company is pursuing a diversified financing strategy aimed at aligning hardware procurement with confirmed customer demand.
We intend to utilize a range of funding sources, including:
●
Customer prepayments;
●
Revenue share agreements;
●
Traditional debt facilities;
●
Equipment financing; and
●
Proceeds raised from the sale of equity and/or debt securities.
Our capital deployment model is designed to mitigate upfront
cash requirements by utilizing customer commitments to partially fund hardware procurement where possible. The objective of this approach
is to enhance capital efficiency and shorten the payback period for individual deployments.
Data
Center Partnerships
We have agreements with data center
operators to host our AI cloud platform. Our current operational footprint is in high-density, Tier III and IV facilities with
NEXTDC, DigiCo and GreenSquareDC., which support sovereign AI requirements and next-generation hardware deployments, and which
offers industry-leading uptime, power density and interconnection.
This model is designed to enable us to focus on scaling core neocloud
services rapidly without the capital intensity and long lead times which are typically associated with building large-scale data centers.
The data center agreements are long dated in
nature and ensure that we have the energy and data center capacity to materially expand its GPU fleet and cloud offering to its customers.

Revenue
Model
Target
Customer Contract Framework
We generate revenue from fees paid by customers for access to its
AI and HPC platform. Pricing is determined by the hardware resources allocated, including GPUs, CPU capacity, high-performance storage
and interconnect bandwidth, as well as the customer’s selected consumption model. The Company offers both usage-based, on-demand
services and term-based ‘take-or-pay’ contracts, allowing customers to procure compute through either elastic consumption
or contracted capacity commitments. This structure reflects the operational characteristics of the SharonAI Cloud, a platform that provides
self-provisioned bare-metal GPU servers, virtualized compute environments, and containerized workloads with non-contended performance
and pre-configured AI frameworks.
Historically, revenue has been derived largely from usage-based, on-demand
workloads, including customers accessed through marketplace aggregators, as the Company optimized and performance validated its infrastructure.
During this phase, We deployed earlier-generation NVIDIA GPUs to demonstrate performance consistency under NVIDIA reference architectures
as it sought admission to the NCP partner program. These early deployments enabled us to validate cluster stability, software orchestration,
and workload isolation while building a track record with enterprise AI and research users.
As
we prepares for scaled commercial operations, we have shifted its primary commercial contracting framework toward term-based
offtake agreements on a ‘take or pay’ basis, which aligns customer commitments directly with the capital required to procure
and deploy GPU capacity. This structure supports predictable, multi-year revenue and aligns infrastructure investment with visible demand.
It also enables SharonAI to expand its GPU fleet, including next-generation NVIDIA H100 and planned H200, B200, B300 GPUs, as well as
large-scale deployments such as its 1,016-GPU Supercluster at NEXTDC, while managing working capital requirements.
A
key advantage of this term contract model is it leverages customer prepayments where available, to de-risk our
procurement strategy. In an environment where high-density GPUs are supply-constrained, contracted customer offtake agreements provide
the financial assurance necessary to secure GPUs at scale and to support underwriting of significant debt facilities, with the ‘take
or pay’ structure providing minimum levels of revenues. For customers, term agreements ensure guaranteed access to scarce GPU capacity,
dedicated infrastructure without performance degradation, sovereign hosting within Tier III or IV Australian data centers and accelerated
deployment timelines compared to self-deployment. These capabilities are increasingly critical for organizations training LLMs, executing
inference at scale or operating regulated workloads.
The
typical contract lifecycle is described:
Illustrative
Customer Contract Lifecyle
-17-
Contract
Signing and Prepayment (Month 1): Upon execution of a term contract, the customer provides an initial prepayment or deposit. This financial
commitment allows us to submit a purchase order for the specific GPU and network infrastructure required to service the contract.
We target 10% to 20% of contract value in the form of a customer prepayment;
Procurement
and Installation (Months 1-4): The hardware is typically delivered within approximately two to three months of the contract signing.
Final payment for the equipment is made upon delivery, and the infrastructure is installed and configured over the subsequent two-to-four
weeks;
Operational
Phase and Revenue Recognition (Months 5-60): Once the infrastructure is operational (typically beginning in the fifth month), the Company
generates monthly revenue for the duration of the contract term (e.g., 36 to 60 months). The customer makes corresponding monthly payments
for the reserved capacity with the ‘take or pay’ provision ensuring 100% utilization rate recognition once fully deployed;
Post
Contract Lifecycle (Years 3-6): The useful economic life of the GPU and network infrastructure is expected to extend for two or more
years beyond the initial contract term to approximately 6 years. Upon the conclusion of the initial contract, the Company has multiple
options to continue monetizing the fully-paid hardware including:
○Re-contracting
to same or new customer under subsequent multi-year agreement at potentially lower rates
to reflect the age of the depreciated asset;
○Capacity
sold on spot or on-demand market through GPU aggregator platforms, capturing higher hourly
rates for variable demand customers; or Older
generation GPUs redeployed through our inference engine for token-based consumption.
Our
software layer is a key differentiator with respect to extending the useful
life of our GPU fleet post this initial contract lifecycle, with our inference engine enables token-based consumption abstracted from
underlying GPU hardware (i.e. interoperability), supporting asset redeployment as technology evolves.

Growth
Strategy
Dependencies
Underpinning Demand for Our Products and Services
The
Company’s success will be determined by four critical dependencies that define the AI/HPC infrastructure ecosystem which will generate
strong demand for our solutions into the future:
Pillar
1 – Demand for GPU computing;
Pillar
2 – Access to the supply of chips;
Pillar
3 – Access to data center capacity and the supply of power; and
Pillar
4 – Our proprietary cloud platform.
These
pillars position us to capture substantial value from the exponential growth in AI computing workloads globally.
Key Pillars Underpinning Our Growth
Feature
Detail
Pillar
1: Demand for GPU Computing
-
The
demand for GPU compute capacity is experiencing a significant structural surge. This rapid acceleration is driven by the adoption
of Generative AI, large language models, and advanced machine learning being increasingly integrated into workloads across a wide
range of customer segments, including enterprise and government.
-
NVIDIA
noted in their Q3 November 2025 result that its GPU installed base of new and previous generations are fully utilized as demand for
AI infrastructure continues to exceed expectations, with compute growing 56% year-on-year. Supply of GPUs globally is currently backlogged,
as NVIDIA has announced its cloud GPUs, including the Blackwell series, are sold out, with massive orders booked through 2026.
-
As demand for GPU compute continues to accelerate across training and inference to outstrip supply, neoclouds are
meeting an unmet need by providing unmet GPU-as-a-Service. Neocloud revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
of 23% over the next six years from 2024 to 2030.
Pillar

We
believe that the trademarks that we use in our business are important for building our brand image and brand recognition. Therefore,
we will develop marketing strategies, including advertising and branding campaigns, accordingly.
Competition
The
HPC/AI cloud industry is dynamic and global. Many of the industry participants are larger operators of facilities, with access to both
large energy infrastructure and supply of the appropriate compute and storage equipment required to operate cloud platforms at scale.
Some of the larger operators of cloud platforms are also developers or owners of data centers besides specialized data center operators.
We
will compete with them directly for the acquisition of new compute and storage equipment, access to energy infrastructure and raising
capital. Digital infrastructure providers, including us, also compete with more traditional industries, for example, when obtaining the
lowest cost of electricity, or access to sites with reliable sources of power. Many digital infrastructure operators are not publicly
operated, and therefore data is not readily available.

Government
Regulations and Environment
Our
business is subject to regulation by various federal, state, local, and foreign governmental agencies, including agencies responsible
for monitoring and enforcing employment and labor laws, workplace safety and environmental laws, including those related to energy usage
and energy efficiency requirements, privacy and data protection laws, AI, financial services laws, anti-bribery laws, sanctions, national
security, import and export controls, anti-boycott, federal securities laws, and tax laws and regulations.
For
example, governmental authorities have in the past sought to restrict data center development based on environmental considerations and
have imposed moratoria on data center development, citing concerns about energy usage, requiring new data centers to meet energy efficiency
requirements. We may face higher costs from any laws requiring enhanced energy efficiency measures, changes to cooling systems, caps
on energy usage, land use restrictions, limitations on back-up power sources, or other environmental requirements.
In
certain foreign jurisdictions, these regulatory requirements may be more stringent than those in the United States. These laws and regulations
are subject to change over time and thus we must continue to monitor and dedicate resources to ensure continued compliance. In particular,
the global AI regulatory environment continues to evolve as regulators and lawmakers have started proposing and adopting, or are currently
considering, regulations and guidance specifically on the use of AI. Non-compliance with applicable regulations or requirements could
subject us to investigations, sanctions, mandatory product recalls, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, civil
and criminal penalties, or injunctions and jail time for responsible employees and managers. If any governmental sanctions are imposed,
or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, operating results, financial condition, and future
prospects could be materially adversely affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion
of management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could harm our
business, operating results, financial condition, and future prospects.
Our
sustainability initiatives, goals, or commitments could be difficult to achieve or costly to implement. Moreover, compliance with recently
adopted and potential upcoming ESG requirements, including California legislation that requires various climate-related disclosures,
the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, and the
United Kingdom’s Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting framework will require the dedication of significant time and resources.
In addition, we may also be required to comply with the SEC’s comprehensive climate change disclosure rules, which have been stayed
pending judicial review. Additionally, if our competitors’ corporate social responsibility performance is perceived to be better
than ours, potential, or current investors may elect to invest with our competitors instead. Our business may face increased scrutiny
related to these activities and our related disclosures, including from the investment community, and our failure to achieve progress
or manage the dynamic public sentiment and legal landscape in these areas on a timely basis, or at all, could adversely affect our reputation,
business, and financial performance.
