reputation in the reinsurance industry; our inability to obtain or
maintain the necessary approvals to operate reinsurance
subsidiaries; risks associated with operating in the reinsurance
industry, including inadequately priced insured risks, credit risk
associated with brokers we may do business with, and inadequate
retrocessional coverage; our inability to execute on our investment
and investment management strategy, including our strategy to
invest in the risk capital of special purpose acquisition companies
(SPACs); our ability to maintain and expand our revenue streams to
compensate for the lower demand for our digital cinema products and
installation services; potential interruptions of supplier
relationships or higher prices charged by suppliers in connection
with our Strong Global business; our ability to successfully
compete and introduce enhancements and new features that achieve
market acceptance and that keep pace with technological
developments; our ability to maintain Strong Global’s brand and
reputation and retain or replace its significant customers;

systems, data breaches and cyber-attacks; our ability to establish
and maintain an effective system of internal controls; our limited
operating history as a public company; the requirements of being a
public company and losing our status as a smaller reporting company
or becoming an accelerated filer; any potential conflicts of
interest between us and our controlling stockholders and different
interests of controlling stockholders; potential conflicts of
interest between us and our directors and executive officers; risks
associated with our related party transactions and investments; and
risks associated with our investments in SPACs, including the
