Section 7 - Regulation FD
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Daktronics, Inc. (the “Company”) is providing the following overview and update of recent developments.
On December 12, 2022, the Company announced its financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2022 in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 12, 2022, including the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”).
In the Form 8-K, the Company disclosed that due to the conditions described in the Form 8-K, it was concluded during the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal quarter ended October 29, 2022 that these conditions raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Since the Form 8-K filing on December 12, 2022, and to increase liquidity and potentially remove the going concern qualification in the coming quarters, the Company has been meeting with potential financing partners and resources to seek alternative sources of financing; communicating with suppliers and customers; completing and fulfilling orders in its $463.1 million backlog; and collecting its accounts receivable.
The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 incorporated by reference, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section. Further, the information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing. Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in this Current Report on Form 8-K that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
