Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and will adopt the standard on the first day of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year.

Board of Directors, granted an aggregate of 21,00012,000 RSUs under the 2019 Plan to non-employee directors of the Company. These awards provide for the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with a vesting schedule that generally provides for the vesting of 25% of the award on or about each of May 15 of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2024,2025, provided that the participant remains associated with the Company (or meets other criteria as prescribed in the applicable agreement) on each such date.

Additionally, on May 25, 2021, the Compensation Committee, with the concurrence of the full Board of Directors, granted an aggregate of 24,761 RSUs under the 2019 Plan to non-employee directors of the Company.  The RSUs were issued in lieu of cash payments for fiscal 2022 Board and Committee meetings.  These awards provide for the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock on May 25, 2022, provided that the participant remains associated with the Company (or meets other criteria as prescribed in the applicable agreement) on each such date.

Restricted Stock: On May 15, 2020,April 29, 2021 the Compensation Committee, with the concurrence of the full Board of Directors, awarded an aggregate of 65,82122,252 shares of the Company’s common stock as restricted stock under the 2019 Plan to certain non-employee directors of the Company in lieu of their annual cash retainer for fiscal 2021.2022. The value of the restricted shares at the time of issue to each director was determined by the Compensation Committee to approximate the cash amount of the 20212022 fiscal year boardBoard retainer per director. These shares of restricted stock were issued subject to a risk of forfeiture that will lapse in whole or in part on July 1, 2021,

2022, generally depending on the length of continued service of the recipient on the Board for fiscal 2021.2022. Dividends accruing in respect of the shares of restricted stock, if any, will accrue but will not be paid until July 1, 20212022 and only in respect of those shares for which the risk of forfeiture has then lapsed.

As of June 28, 2020,27, 2021, there was approximately $0.7$0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all outstanding RSUs and restricted stock, assuming all shares are earned. Unrecognized compensation costs are expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted average period of approximately three years.

PSUs and RSUs are expensed based on the grant date fair value, calculated as the closing price of TESSCO common stock as reported by Nasdaq on the date of grant minus the present value of dividends expected to be paid on the common stock before the award vests, because dividends or dividend-equivalent amounts do not accrue and are not paid on unvested PSUs and RSUs.

The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur rather than estimate expected forfeitures. To the extent that forfeitures occur, stock-based compensation related to the restricted awards may be different from the Company’s expectations.

Stock Options: On April 30, 2020 and May 15, 2020,During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, stock options for an aggregate of 160,000177,500 shares of common stock were granted under the 2019 Plan. These stock options have exercise prices equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, and the terms thereof provide for 25% vesting after one year and then 1/36 per month over the following three years, subject, however, to acceleration or termination upon the occurrence of certain events, as described in the applicable award agreement.

The grant date value of the Company’s stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model, based upon facts and assumptions existing at the date of grant.

In addition, on May 15, 2020, performance-based stock options for an aggregate of 65,000 shares of common stock were granted under the 2019 Plan to certain officers of the Company. These stock options also have exercise prices equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date, and the terms thereof also provide for 25% vesting after one year and then 1/36 per month over the following three years, but these stock options also impose 2 shorter term performance-based milestones, with the satisfaction of each milestone an additional condition to vesting of one-half of the options. The grant date value of the Company’s stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model, based upon facts and assumptions existing at the date of grant.

The value of each option at the date of grant is amortized as compensation expense over the service period. This occurs without regard to subsequent changes in stock price, volatility, or interest rates over time, provided the option remains outstanding.

The following tables summarize the pertinent information for outstanding options.

Note 5. Borrowings Under Revolving Credit Facility

 

On October 19, 2017,29, 2020, the Company and itsentered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries as co-borrowers, and SunTrust Bank, as Administrative Agent and Lender,the Lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as a Lender, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”(“Wells”), which amendedas Administrative Agent, swingline lender and restated the terms of a previously established secured Revolving Credit Facility with the same lenders, and which resulted in, among other modifications, an increase in the Company’s borrowing limit to up to $75 million, from the previous borrowing limit of up to $35 million. Capitalized termsissuing bank. Terms used, but not otherwise defined, in this and the following threeten (10) paragraphs have the meanings ascribed to eachset forth in the AmendedCredit Agreement or the related Guaranty and Restated CreditSecurity Agreement. This new facility replaced a previously existing credit facility among the Company and certain subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto (which included Wells) and Truist Bank (successor by merger to SunTrust Bank), as administrative agent.

In addition to increasing the Company’s borrowing limit, and among other modifications, the Amended and RestatedThe Credit Agreement extendedprovides for a senior secured asset based revolving credit facility of up to $75 million (the “2020 Revolving Credit Facility”), which matures on April 29, 2024. The 2020 Revolving Credit Facility includes a $5.0 million letter of credit sublimit and provides for the maturity dateissuance of Swing Loans. The applicable Credit Agreement also includes a provision permitting the Company, subject to certain conditions, to increase the aggregate amount of the securedcommitments under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility to October 19, 2021. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also set forth financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratioan aggregate commitment amount of up to be maintained at any time during which the borrowing availability, as$125 million with optional additional commitments from then existing Lenders or new commitments from additional lenders, although no Lender is obligated to increase its commitment. Availability is determined in accordance with the AmendedBorrowing Base, which is generally 85% of Eligible Accounts minus the Dilution Reserve, plus a calculated value of Eligible Inventory aged less than 181 days plus the lesser

Borrowings initially accrue (or accrued) interest from the applicable borrowing date:  (A) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin of 2.25% until the March 31, 2021 financial statements were delivered and thereafter (i) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is less than 1.10:1.00, then the LIBOR Rate plus 2.25% or (ii) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.10:1.00, then the LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%; (B) if a Base Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin of 1.25% per annum until the March 31, 2021 financial statements were delivered and thereafter (i) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is less than 1.10:1.00, then the Base Rate 1.25% or (ii) if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.10:1.00, then the Base Rate plus 1.00%. The Credit Agreement fallscontains a LIBOR floor of 0.25% so that if the LIBOR Rate is below $10 million,0.25%, then the LIBOR Rate will be deemed to be equal to 0.25% for purposes of the Credit Agreement. On June 27, 2021, the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the secured 2020 Revolving Credit Facility was 2.62%.

The Company is required to pay a monthly Unused Line Fee on the average daily unused portion of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility, at a per annum rate equal to 0.25%.

Notwithstanding the above, pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement dated July 12, 2021 (the “Amendment”), between Tessco and Wells, Wells agreed to a 25 basis point reduction in certain otherwise applicable rates and fees over a agreed period, as wellset forth in the Amendment. The Amendment also included certain changes related to the transition away from the use of LIBOR as a rate option, and is expected to simplify day-to-day management of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility. It is anticipated that, so long as no event of default occurs, the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility will be lower than it otherwise would have been, going forward, until the end of the agreed period. This description is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Following an Event of Default, the Lenders’ may at their option increase the applicable per annum rate to a rate equal to 2 percentage points above the otherwise applicable rate and, with certain events of default such increase is automatic. In addition, at the written election of the Agent or the Required Lenders at any time while an Event of Default exists, the Company will no longer have the option to request that revolving loans be based on the LIBOR Rate.

The Credit Agreement contains 1 financial covenant, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, which is tested only if Excess Availability (generally, borrowing availability less the aggregate of trade payables and book overdrafts, each in excess of historical amounts) is less than the greater of (a) 16.7% of the maximum amount of the Credit Facility (at closing, $12,525,000) and (b) $12,500,000.  In addition, the Credit Agreement contains provisions that could limit our ability to engage in specified transactions or activities, including (but not limited to) investments and acquisitions, sales of assets, payment of dividends, issuance of additional debt and other matters.

The Eurodollar Rate is the rate per annum obtained by dividing (i) LIBOR by (ii) a percentage equal to 1.00 minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage. When the Applicable Rate is the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Margin is 1.50% if Average Availability is greater than or equal to $15 million, and 1.75% otherwise.  On June 28, 2020, the interest rateother applicable to borrowings under the secured Revolving Credit Facility was 1.68%. Under certain circumstances, the Applicable Rate is subject to change at the Lenders’ option from the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.  Following an Event of Default, in addition to changing the Applicable Rate to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, the Lenders’ may at their option set the Applicable Margin at 0.50% if the Base Rate applies or 1.75% if the Eurodollar Rate applies, and increase the Applicable Rate by an additional 200 basis points.

As of June 28, 2020, borrowings under the secured Revolving Credit Facility totaled $25.3 million and, therefore, the Company had $49.7 million available for borrowing as of June 28, 2020, subject to the Borrowing Base limitation and compliance with the other applicable terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including the covenants referenced above. The line of credit has a lockbox arrangement associated with it and therefore the outstanding balance is classified as a current liability on our balance sheet.  As of March 29,2020, borrowings under the secured Revolving Credit Facility totaled $25.6 million and, therefore, the Company had $49.4 million available on its revolving line of credit facility as of March 29, 2020, again subject to the Borrowing Base limitation and compliance with the other applicable terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including the covenants referenced above.

Note 6. Earnings Per Share

The Company presents the computation of earnings per share (“EPS”) on a basic and diluted basis. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic EPS, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential additional common shares that were dilutive had been issued. Common shares are excluded from the calculation if they are determined to be anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS was equal to basic EPS for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2020

Business Overview and Environment

TESSCOTessco architects and delivers innovative product and value chain solutions to support wireless broadband systems. Although we sell products to customers in many countries, approximately 96%97% of our sales are made to customers in the United States. We have operations and office facilities in Hunt Valley, Maryland, Reno, Nevada and San Antonio, Texas.

The Company evaluates itsOn December 2, 2020, we sold most of our Retail inventory and certain other retail-related assets to Voice Comm. In connection with this sale, we assigned or licensed certain Ventev®- related intellectual property to Voice Comm, including our Ventev® trademark for their use in connection with the sale of mobile device and accessory products. Together, this resulted in our exit from our Retail business. Cash proceeds of $9.5 million were received at the time of sale. As part of the sale agreement, we are entitled to royalty payments, up to $3.0 million in the aggregate, on the sale of Ventev® branded products by Voice Comm over a four-year period after closing. Additionally, some customer returns we receive may be resold to Voice Comm over a two-year period after closing. As a result of the disposal, the operating results of our former Retail segment have been included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for all periods presented.  We retain the Ventev® tradename for non-mobile device accessory products.

As a result of this sale and our exit from the Retail business during the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we now operate as one business segment.

We provide certain information within two segments: commercial and retail. The commercial segment consists of the following customerkey markets:  (1) public carriers, thatwhich are generally responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure system and provide airtime service to individual subscribers; and (2) value-added resellers and integrators,commercial, which includes value-added resellers, the government channel and private system operator markets. The retail segment consists of the retail market which includes retailers, independent dealer agents and carriers.

We offer a wide range of products that are classified into four productthree categories: base station infrastructure; network systems; and installation, test and maintenance; and mobile device accessories.maintenance. Base station infrastructure products are used to build, repair and upgrade wireless telecommunication systems.telecommunications. Sales of traditional base station infrastructure products, such as base station radios, cable and transmission lines and antennas are in part dependent on capital spending in the wireless communications industry. Network systems products are used to build and upgrade computing and internet networks. WeIn this category, we have also been growing our offering of wireless broadband, distributed antennas systems (DAS), network equipment, security and surveillance products, which are not as dependent on the overall capital spending of the industry. Installation, test and maintenance products are used to install, tune, and maintain wireless communications equipment. This category is made up of sophisticated analysis equipment and various frequency, voltagefrequency-, voltage- and power-measuring devices, replacement parts and components as well as an assortment of tools, hardware and supplies required by service technicians. Mobile device accessories products include cellular phone and data device accessories.  

Our ongoing ability to earn revenues and gross profits from customers and suppliers looking to us for product and supply chain solutions depends upon a number of factors. The terms, and accordingly the factors, applicable to each relationship often differ. Among these factors are the strength of the customer’s or supplier’s business, the supply and demand for the product or service, including price stability, changing customer or supplier requirements, and our ability to support the customer or supplier and to continually demonstrate that we can improve the way they do business. In addition, the agreements or arrangements on which our customer and supplier relationships are based are typically of limited duration, typically do not include any obligation in respect of any specific product purchase or sale and are terminable by either party upon several months or otherwise relatively short notice. Because of the nature of our business, we have been affected from time to time in the past by the loss and changes in the business habits of significant customers and suppliers, and expect that we will again be so affected from time to time in the future. Our customer and supplier relationships could also be affected by wireless carrier consolidation or the overall global economic environment, or other events beyond our control, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

The wireless communications distribution industry is competitive and fragmented, and is comprised of several national distributors. In addition, many manufacturers sell direct. Barriers to entry for distributors are relatively

low, particularly in the mobile devices and accessories market, and the risk of new competitors entering the marketplacemarket is high. Consolidation of larger wireless carriers has and will most likely continue to impact our current and potential customer base. In addition, the agreements or arrangements with our customers or suppliers looking to us for product and supply chain solutions are typically of limited duration and are terminable by either party upon several months or otherwise short notice. Our ability

We believe, however, that our strength in service, the breadth and depth of our product offering, our information technology system, industry experience and knowledge, and our large customer base and our purchasing relationships with approximately 350300 manufacturers provide us with a significant competitive advantage over new entrants to the marketplace.market.

As discussed above under the heading “Business Overview and Environment,” our ongoing ability to earn revenues and gross profits from customers and suppliers depends upon a number of factors that often differ for each relationship. Agreements or arrangements on which these relationships are based typically do not include any obligation in respect of any specific product purchase or sale, are of limited duration, and are terminable by either party upon relatively short notice.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2$2.2 million for the first three months of fiscal 2021,2022, compared to $1.9$3.2 million used in the first three months of fiscal 2020. Cash used in both periods was due2021. Both years are related to capital expenditures, largely comprised of investments in information technology.

During the first three months of fiscal 2020,2021, we utilized our asset based secured Revolving Credit Facility, leading to a cash inflowoutflow of $5.7$0.2 million during this period. This inflow was partially offset by a cash outflow of $1.7 million during the first three months of fiscal 2020 due to cash dividends paid to shareholders.

On October 19, 2017,29, 2020, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, and itsthe Company’s primary operating subsidiaries as co-borrowers, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with SunTrust Bank, as Administrative Agent,the Lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as a lender (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”(“Wells”), which amendedas Administrative Agent, swingline lender and restated the terms of a previously establishedan issuing bank, and terminated our previous secured Revolving Credit Facility and which resulted in, among other modifications, an increase in the Company’s borrowing limit toFacility. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured asset based revolving credit facility of up to $75 million from the previous borrowing limit of up to $35 million.  In addition to increasing the borrowing limit, and among other modifications, the Amended and Restated(the “2020 Revolving Credit Agreement extended the applicable maturity date to October 19, 2021.Facility”), which matures in forty-two months, on April 29, 2024. This new facility replaced a previously existing facility. As of June 28, 2020,27, 2021, borrowings under the secured 2020 Revolving Credit Facility totaled $25.3$39.7 million; therefore, we then had $49.7$35.3 million available, subject to the Borrowing Base limitations and compliance with the other applicable terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including the financial and other covenants discussed in Note 45 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement accrue interest at the rates, and the Company is required to pay a monthly commitment fee, as also discussed in Note 45 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In connection with the entering into of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company and the other Company affiliate borrowers under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and other subsidiaries, referred to collectively as the Loan Parties, executed and delivered to SunTrust Bank, as Administrative Agent, a Reaffirmation Agreement, pursuant to which the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Guaranty and Security Agreement previously delivered by the Loan Parties in connection with the secured Revolving Credit Facility as previously existing (including the previously existing guaranty by the Loan Parties not otherwise Borrowers and the previously existing grant by the Company and the other Loan Parties of a continuing first priority security interest in inventory, accounts receivable and deposit accounts, and on all documents, instruments, general intangibles, letter of credit rights, and all proceeds) were ratified and confirmed as respects the Obligations arising from time to time under the secured Revolving Credit Facility provided for pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  

We believe that our existing cash, payments from customers and availability under ourthe secured 2020 Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to support our operations for at least the next twelve months. To minimize interest expense, our policy is to apply excess available cash to reduce the balance outstanding from time to time on our secured Revolving Credit Facility.  Our increased focus over the past several quartersyears on business opportunities for sales to our public carrier customers led to the recent expansion of our borrowing limits, as now reflected in the 2020 secured Revolving

Credit Facility, and has at times resulted in increased borrowings and dependence on that facility. We expect this trend to continue, although at present we have no plans for any further expansion of the current facility.  If we were to undertake an acquisition or other major capital purchases that require funds in excess of existing sources of liquidity, we would look to sources of funding from additional credit facilities, debt and/or equity issuances. As of June 28, 2020,27, 2021, we do not have any material capital expenditure commitments.

In addition, our liquidity could be negatively impacted by decreasing revenues and profits resulting from a decrease in demand for our products or a reduction in capital expenditures by our customers, or by the weakened financial conditions of our customers or suppliers, in each case as a result of a downturn in the global economy, among other factors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a detailed discussion on our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020,28, 2021, filed with the SEC on June 5, 2020.11, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report,

Table of Contents

the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the period covered by this quarterly report, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Lawsuits and claims are filed against us from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any lawsuits or claims currently pending against the Company, individually or in the aggregate, are material, or will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, from time to time, we are also subject to review from federal and state taxing authorities in order to validate the amounts of income, sales and/or use taxes which have been claimed and remitted. Currently, our Florida sales tax returns for the period February 1, 2018 through July 31, 2018 and our California sales tax returns for the period January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 are under examination by applicable taxing authorities.

As we are routinely audited by state taxing authorities, we have estimated exposure and established reserves for our estimated sales tax audit liability.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our business involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should consider the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I “Item 1.A Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020. Information that we have disclosed or will disclose from time to time in our public filings (including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act) may provide additional data or information relative to our previously disclosed risk factors. We are not able to identify or control all circumstances that could occur in the future that may adversely affect our business and operating results. Additional risks and uncertainties that management is not aware of or focused on, or that management currently deems immaterial may also adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations. There have been no material changes in any of the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve internationally, nationally and locally, and we remain sensitive to the ongoing and changing risks that it presents, both known and unknown. As discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, we face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks and events beyond our control, and our business and results of operations have been, and may continue to be, adversely affected on account of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  These risks include continuing COVID-19 related restrictions on our activities, other actions taken or required to be taken by us in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and any localized impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, any, some or all of which could adversely affect our personnel or operations or our ability to fulfill orders, complete implementations, and recognize revenue. The COVID-19 pandemic also implicates workplace safety issues and concerns, and associated risks.

Table of Contents

Thus far, we have not suffered a widespread outbreak of COVID-19 among our employees or at our facilities, but the risk of future outbreaks persists, and our ongoing business operations and our financial results could be adversely affected should an outbreak occur among our personnel or at one of our facilities.

In addition, we have previously including among our Risk Factors a discussion of the concentration of our stock ownership among a select group, including Robert B. Barnhill Jr. who holds approximately 18% of our outstanding common stock. In March 2020, Mr. Barnhill filed an amendment to Schedule 13-D with the SEC, indicating among other things his intention to consider and possibly pursue various actions with respect to his investment in the Company, including a strategic transaction in which he alone or with others might acquire all of our outstanding common stock not already held by him.  Subsequently, Mr. Barnhill filed another amendment to Schedule 13-D in which he announced his intention to vote against the re-election of four of our incumbent directors at our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and then following the Annual Meeting another amendment to Schedule 13-D indicating an intention to pursue an agenda focused on board transition. In addition, another significant stockholder has filed a Schedule 13-D and amendments indicating, among other things, that it may engage in discussions with our Board and/or members of our management team concerning, without limitation, potential business combinations and strategic alternatives, our business, operations, capital structure, governance, management, strategy and other matters.
