🔴 No Match in Current Filing Our relatively limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and prospects, and may increase the risk that we will not be successful. 🔒
🟡 Modified We have a history of net losses and may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability in the future. 🔒
🟡 Modified Repaying and servicing our existing and future debt, including our 2026 Notes, may require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our indebtedness. 🔒
🟡 Modified Our network presence within China is dependent upon our commercial relationship with JD Cloud, and any detrimental changes in, or the termination of, that relationship could jeopardize our ability to offer an integrated global network that includes China. 🔒
🟡 Modified We may have exposure to greater than anticipated income tax liabilities in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions, requiring us to exercise judgment in determining the applicability of certain tax laws, and this could subject us to potentially adverse tax consequences and adversely impact our results of operations. 🔒
🟡 Modified Our actual or perceived failure to comply with privacy, data protection, information security, and other applicable laws, regulations, and obligations could harm our business. 🔒
🟡 Modified We have limited experience with some of our pricing models, particularly for our newer products and solutions as well as bundled sales of our products and solutions, and we may not accurately predict the long-term rate of paying customer adoption or renewal, or the impact these will have on our revenue or results of operations. 🔒
🟡 Modified If our customers’ or partners’ access to our network and products is interrupted or delayed for any reason, our business could suffer. 🔒
🟡 Modified We face intense and increasing competition, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 🔒
🟡 Modified If we are deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), applicable restrictions could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. 🔒
🟡 Modified The conditional conversion feature of the 2026 Notes, when triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. 🔒
🟡 Modified The Hamas-Israel and Russia-Ukraine conflicts, other areas of geopolitical tension around the world, or the worsening or expansion of those conflicts or tensions, and any related challenging macroeconomic conditions globally and in various countries in which we and our customers operate may materially adversely affect our customers, vendors, and partners, and the duration and extent to which these factors may impact our future business and operations, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows remain uncertain. 🔒
🟡 Modified Adverse economic conditions, including reduced spending on products and solutions for network security, performance, and reliability, may adversely impact our revenue and profitability. 🔒
🟡 Modified We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary for cash settlement upon conversion of the 2026 Notes or to repurchase the 2026 Notes for cash upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion of the 2026 Notes or to repurchase the 2026 Notes. 🔒
