software to provide monitoring, controls and optimization of customer critical assets in oil and natural gas production and distribution. In addition, certain of our customer offerings include digital components, such as remote monitoring of certain customer operations. We also provide services to maintain these systems. Additionally, our operations rely upon partners, suppliers and other third-party providers of information technology and other products and services. If any of these information technologies, products or services are damaged, cease to properly function, are breached due to employee error, malfeasance, system errors, or other vulnerabilities, or are subject to cybersecurity attacks, such as those involving unauthorized access, malicious software and/or other intrusions, we and our partners, suppliers or other third parties could experience: (i) production downtimes, (ii) operational delays, (iii) the compromising of confidential, proprietary or otherwise protected information, including personal and customer data, (iv) destruction, corruption, or theft of data, (v) security breaches, (vi) other manipulation, disruption, misappropriation or improper use of our systems or networks, (vii) hydrocarbon pollution from loss of containment, (viii) financial losses from remedial actions, (ix) loss of business or potential liability, (x) adverse media coverage, and (xi) legal claims or legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations and actions, and/or damage to our reputation. Increased risks of such attacks and disruptions also exist as a result of geopolitical conflicts, such as the continuing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Middle East. While we have not experienced a material breach of our information technologies and we attempt to mitigate these risks by employing a number of measures, including employee training, technical security controls and maintenance of backup and protective systems, the Company’s and our customers’, partners’, vendors’ and other third- parties’ systems, networks, products and services remain potentially vulnerable to known or unknown cybersecurity attacks and other threats, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
While we currently maintain cybersecurity insurance, such insurance may not be sufficient in type or amount to cover us against claims related to cybersecurity breaches or attacks, failures or other data security-related incidents, and we cannot be certain that cyber insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that an insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
Our failure to successfully integrate the businesses of Estis, FPS and Flogistix from the 2024 Business Combination may adversely affect the value of our Class A common stock.
We completed the 2024 Business Combination on June 20, 2024, and we are continuing to integrate combined operations. Estis, FPS and Flogistix, including their respective subsidiaries, were operated independently prior to the completion of the business combination. The success of the 2024 Business Combination will depend, in part, on our ability of to realize anticipated benefits from combining the separate businesses of Estis, FPS and Flogistix. If we are unable to achieve our objectives successfully, the anticipated benefits of the business combination may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.
We have also incurred, and will continue to incur, fees and expenses related to formulating and implementing integration plans, including facilities and systems consolidation costs and employment-related costs. In addition, the actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, which could reduce the anticipated benefits of the business combination. Ongoing integration efforts for the three companies will divert management attention and resources. The integration process could also result in difficulties, including (i) the disruption of each prior company’s ongoing businesses, (ii) the loss of key employees, (iii) inconsistencies in each company’s standards, controls, procedures and policies; and (iv) identifying material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in the internal controls over financial reporting of the other businesses.
