Verde's products may not achieve market success. If Verde's products do not achieve market success, it may be unable to generate significant revenues, if at all.
Verde faces and will face substantial competition.
Verde produces biopolymer products from raw materials, including renewable resources, whose pricing and availability may be impacted by factors out of its control. Increases or fluctuations in the costs of Verde's raw
materials may affect its cost structure.
Verde's success will be influenced by the price of petroleum relative to the price of bio-based feedstocks.
The failure of Verde's raw material suppliers to perform their obligations under supply agreements, or Verde's inability to replace or renew these agreements when they expire, could increase Verde's cost for these
materials, interrupt production or otherwise adversely affect its results of operations.
Maintenance, expansion and refurbishment of Verde's facilities, the construction of new facilities and the development and implementation of new manufacturing processes involve significant risks.
Verde may not be successful in finding future strategic partners for continuing development of additional feedstock opportunities or tolling and downstream conversion of Verde's products.
Verde may rely heavily on future collaborative and supply chain partners.
Compliance with extension environmental, health and safety laws could require material expenditures, changes in Verde's operations or site remediation.
Verde's operating plan may require it to source feedstock and supplies internationally, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and changes to international trade agreements, tariffs, import and excise duties,
taxes or other governmental rules and regulations could adversely affect Verde's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Verde's business could suffer form negative publicity and other adverse consequences with recent civil and criminal charges brought against Terren Peizer, Verde's former Executive Chairman; and Founder and
Chairman of Humanitario Capital, LLC. Verde's largest stockholder, by the Securities Exchange Commission and the United States Department of Justice.
From time to time, Verde may be involved in litigation, regulatory actions or government investigations and inquiries, which could have an adverse impact on Verde's profitability and consolidated financial position.
If Verde experiences a significant disruption in its information technology systems, including security breaches, or if it fails to implement new systems and software successfully, its business operations and financial
condition could be adversely affected.
Verde may not be able to protect adequately its intellectual property assets, which could adversely affect its competitive position and reduce the value of its products, and litigation to protect its intellectual property
could be costly.
Third parties may claim that Verde infringes on their proprietary rights and may prevent Verde from commercializing and selling its products.
Verde relies in part on trade secrets to protect its technology, and its failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could limit its ability to compete.
Verde's management has limited experience operating as a public company.
Verde depends on its teams, and Verde's business would suffer if it fails to retain its key personnel and attract additional highly skilled employees.
