VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE Sample Clauses

VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE. The technology sector of the United States stock market, and particularly the group of Internet-related stocks within this sector, has experienced substantial volatility in recent periods. The value of our common stock is influenced by numerous conditions that impact the technology sector or the stock market in general, whether or not such events relate to or reflect upon our operating performance. REDUCTIONS IN INCENTIVE PROGRAMS, SHIFTING OF INVENTORY RISK The Company acquires products for resale both directly from manufacturers and indirectly through distributors and other sources. Many of these manufacturers and distributors provide us with incentives such as supplier reimbursements, price protection payments, rebates and other similar arrangements. The increasingly competitive computer hardware market has already resulted in reduction and/or elimination of some of these incentive programs. For example, Apple has initiated a number of restrictions on resellers, including: --more restrictive price protection and other terms; and --reduced advertising allowances and incentives. Additionally, manufacturers are limiting return rights and are also taking steps to reduce their inventory exposure by supporting "build to order" programs authorizing distributors and resellers to assemble computer hardware under the manufacturers' brands. These trends reduce the costs to manufacturers and shift the burden of inventory risk to resellers like the Company which could negatively impact its business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, certain Wintel manufacturers including Compaq Computer Corp. have recently expanded their direct sales efforts. The continuing impact of these matters may adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. SEASONALITY Fluctuations in the Company's net sales from period to period can be expected due to a number of factors, including the timing of new product introductions by the Company's major vendors and their competitors, seasonal cycles commonly seen in computer-related industries, and changes in product mix and product pricing. As a result, the operating results for any particular period are not necessarily indicative of the results of any future period. Y2K RISKS The Company's computer system, and those of third parties with whom it does business, will be affected by issues and problems related to changes required as a result of the year 2000 problem ("Y2K").

VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE. Trading of relatively small blocks of Buyer's Common Stock can have a significant impact on the price at which the stock is traded. In addition, significant fluctuations in the price and volume of stocks traded on OTCBB could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock of Buyer without regard to the operating performance of Buyer. Buyer also believes that fluctuations in financial results of Buyer's operations, announcements by Buyer or its competitors or changes in securities analysts' recommendations may cause the market price for Buyer's Common Stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially. These factors, as well as general economic conditions, such as recessions or high interest rates, may have a material adverse affect on the market price of Buyer's Common Stock.

VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE. Based on its trading history, the Company believes that the market for the Company's Common Stock is highly volatile. Factors such as quarterly fluctuations in operating results, announcements by the Company or its competitors or technological innovations or product improvements, as well as changes in general economic conditions and other factors, potentially affect the market price of the Common Stock. The Company's three largest shareholders ("Large Shareholders"), Alta Investissements SA (2,808,427 shares of Common Stock), Vulcan Ventures Incorporated (2,750,000 shares of Common Stock) and RMS Limited Partnership (2,415,945 shares of Common Stock and 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are convertible into 1,218,487 shares of Common Stock) own large blocks of the Company's Common Stock. RMS Limited Partnership has exercised its "piggyback" registration rights with respect to 2,415,495 shares of Common Stock. The Company has caused the resale of those shares of Common Stock to be registered under the Securities Act, which registration could cause a large number of shares of Common Stock to be sold in the public market. The Company is unable to predict the effect that sales by the Large Stockholders may have on the then prevailing price of the Common Stock. However, such sales may have an adverse effect on the market price for the Common Stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through an offering of its securities. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale." KEY PERSONNEL AND MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH The Company's success will depend upon the continued contributions of its officers and key personnel, the loss of any of whom could materially adversely affect the Company's operations. The Company's growth will depend upon its ability to attract and retain skilled employees, particularly in sales and research and development, and the ability of its officers and key employees to successfully manage growth, to implement appropriate management information systems and controls to assure timely delivery of the Company's products, and to continue to refine its products and to develop new products which incorporate advancements in technology. Any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. BUSINESS-RELATED RISKS

  • Closing Price Closing Price shall mean the last reported market price for one share of Common Stock, regular way, on the New York Stock Exchange (or any successor exchange or stock market on which such last reported market price is reported) on the day in question. If the exchange is closed on the day on which the Closing Price is to be determined or if there were no sales reported on such date, the Closing Price shall be computed as of the last date preceding such date on which the exchange was open and a sale was reported.

  • Performance Adjustment Rate Except as otherwise provided in sub-paragraph (e) of this paragraph 3, the Performance Adjustment Rate is 0.02% for each percentage point (the performance of the Portfolio and the Index each being calculated to the nearest .01%) that the Portfolio's investment performance for the performance period was better or worse than the record of the Index as then constituted. The maximum performance adjustment rate is 0.20%. For purposes of calculating the performance adjustment of the portfolio, the portfolio's investment performance will be based on the performance of the retail class. The performance period will commence with the first day of the first full month following the retail class's commencement of operations. During the first eleven months of the performance period for the retail class, there will be no performance adjustment. Starting with the twelfth month of the performance period, the performance adjustment will take effect. Following the twelfth month a new month will be added to the performance period until the performance period equals 36 months. Thereafter the performance period will consist of the current month plus the previous 35 months. The Portfolio's investment performance will be measured by comparing (i) the opening net asset value of one share of the retail class of the Portfolio on the first business day of the performance period with (ii) the closing net asset value of one share of the retail class of the Portfolio as of the last business day of such period. In computing the investment performance of the retail class of the Portfolio and the investment record of the Index, distributions of realized capital gains, the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of such period and dividends paid out of investment income on the part of the Portfolio, and all cash distributions of the securities included in the Index, will be treated as reinvested in accordance with Rule 205-1 or any other applicable rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as the same from time to time may be amended.

  • Determination of Fair Market Value For purposes of this Section 10.2, “fair market value” of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:

  • Performance Adjustment One-twelfth of the annual Performance Adjustment Rate will be applied to the average of the net assets of the Portfolio (computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the month and the performance period.

  • Unvested Common Shares Issued in Settlement of Performance Share Awards If the Executive terminates employment pursuant to Sections 6(b), 6(d) or 6(e)(i) after the Performance Share Vesting Date, the vesting of all Unvested Common Shares (as defined in the Performance Share Agreement) issued in settlement of the Performance Share Award shall be accelerated in full effective as of the date of such termination.

  • Computation of Adjusted Exercise Price Except as hereinafter -------------------------------------- provided, in the event the Company shall at any time after the date hereof issue or sell any shares of Common Stock including shares held in the Company's treasury (other than (i) the issuances or sales referred to in Section 9.7 hereof, (ii) shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of any options, rights or warrants to subscribe for shares of Common Stock, or (iii) shares of Common Stock issued upon the direct or indirect conversion or exchange of securities for shares of Common Stock), for a consideration per share less than the Market Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such shares, or without consideration, then forthwith upon such issuance or sale, the Exercise Price shall (until another such issuance or sale) be reduced to the price (calculated to the nearest full cent) equal to the quotient derived by dividing (i) an amount equal to the sum of (a) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance or sale of such shares, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, and (b) the aggregate of the amount of all consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance or sale, by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale; provided, however, that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted pursuant to this computation to an amount in excess of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such computation, except in the case of a combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock, as provided by Section 9.3 hereof. For the purposes of this Section 9 the term Exercise Price shall mean the Exercise Price per share of Common Stock set forth in Section 7 hereof, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9. For the purposes of any computation to be made in accordance with this Section 9.1, the following provisions shall be applicable:

  • OVERALL LIMIT ON COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if during the Open Period the Company becomes listed on an exchange that limits the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued without shareholder approval, then the number of Shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by the Investor, shall not exceed that number of the shares of Common Stock that may be issuable without shareholder approval (the "Maximum Common Stock Issuance"). If such issuance of shares of Common Stock could cause a delisting on the Principal Market, then the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance with applicable law and the By-laws and Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, if such issuance of shares of Common Stock could cause a delisting on the Principal Market. The parties understand and agree that the Company's failure to seek or obtain such shareholder approval shall in no way adversely affect the validity and due authorization of the issuance and sale of Securities or the Investor's obligation in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to purchase a number of Shares in the aggregate up to the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation, and that such approval pertains only to the applicability of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in this Section 2(H).
