Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, including events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, could adversely affect our liquidity. For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver, due to liquidity concerns, leading to large scale confusion and uncertainty around the ability to access funds and potential loss of deposits exceeding FDIC insured amounts. This was followed by the closure and appointment of the FDIC as receiver for Signature Bank, and broader uncertainties about the viability of certain banks. Factors contributing to the distress of these institutions included financial concerns as well as widespread negative reactions to news and social media coverage. The failure of other financial institutions may increase the possibility of a sustained deterioration of financial market liquidity, or illiquidity at clearing, cash management and/or custodial financial institutions. The distress or failure of one or more banks with which we have a commercial relationship could adversely affect, among other things, our ability to pursue key strategic initiatives, our ability to access funds, or our ability to borrow from financial institutions on favorable terms. In addition, our deposits will be at risk to the extent they exceed available FDIC insurance limits. If a bank with which we have a commercial relationship has failed or is otherwise distressed (including for example, as a result of large scale depositor withdrawals), or if market activity leads to threat of distress resulting in regulator control, the loss or restriction of access to our cash and liquidity resources could, among other things, adversely impact our ability to meet our operating expenses and financial obligations, or fulfill other obligations, and result in breaches of our contractual obligations or violations of federal or state wage and hour laws. Our ability to spread banking relationships among multiple institutions may be limited by practical considerations or our lender’s suitability requirements for deposit and custodial account institutions. Any of these effects could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on terms favorable to us, or at all. Any of these impacts, or any other impacts resulting from the factors described above or other related or similar factors not described above, could have material adverse impacts on our liquidity and our business, financial condition or results of operations.
