Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations. Other than the following item there have not been any material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A Risk Factors” in our 2023 Form 10-K.
We may be unable to complete the acquisition of Matterport or otherwise realize the benefits of the pending Matterport acquisition, which could have an adverse effect on us.
On April 22, 2024, we announced that we had entered into the Merger Agreement to acquire Matterport. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, at the closing of the acquisition, we will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Matterport in a cash and stock transaction. The closing of the acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including: (1) approval by Matterport’s stockholders; (2) expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under applicable antitrust laws; (3) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the SEC by us in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (4) approval for listing on Nasdaq Global Select Market of the shares of our common stock to be issued in the transaction; (5) no injunction, law or order prohibiting the Mergers; (6) accuracy of each party’s representations, subject in most cases to materiality or material adverse effect qualifications; (7) compliance by each party with its covenants in all material respects; and (8) with respect to the other party, there not having occurred since the date of the Merger Agreement any event, development, change or occurrence that has had or would reasonably be expected to have had, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect. The failure to satisfy these conditions could delay the completion of the acquisition or prevent it from occurring. Any delay in completing the acquisition could cause us to not realize some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve. Further, even if we are unable to complete the acquisition, we will still have incurred substantial expenses and diverted significant management time and resources from our ongoing business. There can be no assurance that the closing conditions will be satisfied or waived or that the transaction will be completed.
Until the completion of the acquisition, we will operate independently of Matterport. It is possible that the pendency of the acquisition could result in the loss of key employees, higher than expected costs, diversion of management attention, or the disruption of our ongoing businesses, which may adversely affect the combined company’s ability to maintain relationships with customers, vendors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. In addition, the amount of stock consideration offered per Matterport share is based on an exchange ratio that will be fixed prior to closing, subject to a collar, based on our share price, and will not be adjusted to account for changes in Matterport’s business, assets, liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition or results of operations, or any other changes during the pendency of the acquisition, including any change in the market price of, analyst estimates of or projections relating to Matterport’s common stock.
We have incurred, and we will continue to incur, transaction fees, including legal, regulatory and other costs associated with closing the transaction, as well as expenses related to formulating and implementing integration plans, including systems consolidation costs and employment-related costs. We may be unable to offset transaction and integration-related costs with the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the business.
The success of the Matterport acquisition, if completed, will depend in part on our ability to realize the anticipated business opportunities and growth prospects from combining our business with that of Matterport. We may never realize these business opportunities and growth prospects. We do not have experience in Matterport’s business in 3D digital technology or in manufacturing cameras. Matterport’s business is also subject to risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurances we will have success in these industries. Integrating operations will require significant efforts and expenditures. If we are unable to successfully or timely acquire and integrate Matterport’s business with ours, we may be unable to realize the growth, synergies and other anticipated benefits resulting from the acquisition and our business could be adversely affected.
