The Company is subject to unpredictable order flows. The Company operates in a highly competitive industry. The Company may not realize expected benefits from its technology enhancement, cost reduction and capacity utilization initiatives. The Company may encounter difficulties arising from future acquisitions or consolidation efforts, which may adversely impact its business. The Company is dependent on certain key clients. The Company s clients could shift a significant portion of their marketing dollars from print to online at a level that exceeds Schawk s current ability to deliver the online services they need at the volumes they require. The Company remains susceptible to risks associated with technological and industry change, including risks based on the services it provides and may seek to provide in the future as a result of technological and industry changes. If the Company fails to maintain an effective system of disclosure and internal controls, it may not be able to accurately report its financial results and may incur substantial costs related to remediation of its internal controls. The Company s operating results fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which may cause the value of its stock to decline. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC ) investigation may result in significant costs and expenses, may divert resources and could have a material adverse effect on the Company s business and results of operations. Impairment charges have had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on the Company s financial results. Currency exchange rate fluctuations could have an adverse effect on the Company s revenue, cash flows and financial results. The Company s foreign operations are subject to political, investment, currency, regulatory and other risks that could hinder it from transferring funds out of a foreign country, delay its debt service payments, cause its operating costs to increase and adversely affect its results of operations. Certain Schawk family members and affiliated trusts collectively own a significant interest in the Company and may collectively exercise their control in a manner that may be adverse to your interests. The Company is subject to debt covenants under its debt arrangements that may restrict its operational flexibility and limit the Company s ability to take advantage of opportunities for growth. In the event the Company fails to comply with the debt covenants under its debt arrangements, it may not be able to obtain the necessary amendments or waivers, and its lenders could accelerate the payment of all outstanding amounts due under those arrangements. The loss of key personnel could adversely affect the Company s current operations and its ability to achieve continued growth. Work stoppages and other labor relations matters, such as multi-employer pension withdrawal obligations, may make it substantially more difficult or expensive for the Company to produce its products and services, which could result in decreased sales or increased costs, either of which would negatively impact the Company s financial condition and results of operations. The price for the Company s common stock can be volatile and unpredictable.
