If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds on hand to redeem any or all of the Debentures and its assets do not mature or cannot be sold quickly enough, it will not be able to redeem any or all of the Debentures on maturity. |
2. | Debentures have no security: The Debentures offered pursuant to this Offering are unsecured obligations and will rank pari passu among themselves and subordinate to all secured obligations of the Corporation. |
3. | Tax Consequences: The tax consequences associated with an investment in the Debentures may be subject to changes in federal and state tax laws. There can be no assurance that the tax laws will not be changed in a manner that will adversely affect tax consequences to Subscribers holding or disposing of the Debentures. |
4. | No Right to Vote: Debenture holders will have no right to vote on matters relating to the Corporation. Exclusive authority and responsibility for managing the Corporation rests with management of the Corporation and those persons, consultants and advisors retained by management on behalf of the Corporation. Accordingly, Subscribers should appreciate that they will be relying on the good faith, experience, expertise and ability of the directors and officers of the Corporation and other parties for the success of the business of the Corporation. |
5. | Systemic Risk: Credit risk may arise through a default by one of several large institutions that are dependent on one another to meet their liquidity or operational needs, so that a default by one institution causes a series of defaults by the other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as a "systemic risk" and may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms and exchanges, with which the Corporation and/or the other parties that may have impact on the Debentures interact on a daily basis. |
6. | Limited History: The Corporation has limited operational history. Accordingly, there is limited information available to a Subscriber upon which to base an evaluation of the Corporation and its business and prospects. The Corporation is in the early stages of its business and therefore is subject to the risks associated with early-stage companies, including uncertainty of revenues, markets and profitability, the need to raise additional funding, the evolving and unpredictable nature of the Corporation’s business and the ability to identify, attract and retain qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be successful in doing what it is required to do to overcome these risks. No assurance can be given that the Corporation’s business activities will be successful. |
7. | Illiquid Investment: An investment in the Debenture of the Corporation is an illiquid investment. There is currently no public market through which the Debenture of the Corporation may be resold. |
8. | No Deposit Insurance: The Debentures are not insured against loss through the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other insurance company or program. |
9. | No Independent Counsel: No independent counsel has been retained on behalf of the Subscribers; and no independent counsel has conducted any due diligence and reviewed the structure and the documentation of the Offering on their behalf to assess potential issues and risks for Debenture Holders. |
10. | Competitive Industry: The regulated gaming industry in Italy and the U.S. in which the Corporation primarily operates is, and will continue to be, very competitive. There is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to continue to compete successfully or that the level of competition and pressure on pricing will not affect its margins. |
11. | General Market Risk: The Corporation and its affiliates may be adversely affected by a general deterioration in economic conditions or a deterioration affecting specific industries, products or geographies: A recession or downturn in the economy or the deterioration in the economic conditions affecting specific industries, geographic locations and/or products could make it difficult for the Corporation and its affiliates to originate new business and maintain existing business. |
12. | Liquidity Risk: If the Corporation requires new capital, it may need to raise additional funds. If it is unable to raise such capital, it would need to curtail its growth and its business, and its ability to service or redeem Debentures could be adversely impacted. |
13. | In addition, a Subscriber should refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the most recent Form 10-K filing of the Corporation and any amendments thereto which are available at xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxx. |
