Risk Factors
-
The Company relies primarily on its network of independent dealers to sell lift trucks and aftermarket parts and the Company has no direct control over sales by those dealers to customers. The loss of or ineffective or poor performance by these independent dealers could result in a significant decrease in revenues and profitability and the inability to sustain or grow the business.
-
The Company may be unable to protect its information systems against service interruptions, data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network breaches, which have in the past and could in the future disrupt business operations and could materially adversely affect the Company's operating results, financial position or reputation.
-
Certain members of the Company’s extended founding family own a substantial amount of its Class A and Class B common stock and, if they were to act in concert, could control the outcome of director elections and other stockholder votes on significant corporate actions.
