New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: US$9.39m This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$7.4m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (25% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$10m (US$9.39m market cap). Board Change • Jul 21

Aterian Seeks Approval for $18 Million Brand Portfolio Sale and $7 Million Financing Aterian is asking shareholders to vote in favor of an $18 million sale of its marquee brand portfolio and a related $7 million financing at a special meeting scheduled for July 10, 2026. The board has indicated an intended cash return of $0.85 to $1.14 per share if the transactions proceed.
The board frames the proposals as a way to monetize assets and support future growth opportunities, which would represent a possible reshaping of Aterian’s business mix and capital structure if shareholders approve the deal.
Aterian’s stock trades at $1.26, with the share price up 75.7% year to date, which indicates that the market has already been reacting to recent developments and expectations around the company.
The key question for shareholders is whether the proposed asset sale and cash return justify the reduction in Aterian’s brand portfolio and what the remaining business will look like after the transaction. Reported Earnings • May 18

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 27% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$11m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (22% average weekly change). Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (27% increase in shares outstanding).

Aterian, Inc. Receives Notice of Non-Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Listing Rule On December 9, 2025, Aterian, Inc. (the Company") received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq") indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Common Stock"), for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company is not currently in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the Bid Price Notice"). The Bid Price Notice has no immediate effect on the continued listing status of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and, therefore, the Company's listing remains fully effective. The Company is provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Bid Price Notice, or until June 8, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid requirement, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). If at any time before June 8, 2026, the closing bid price of the Common Stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, subject to Nasdaq's discretion to extend this period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H) to 20 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, and the matter would be resolved. If the Company does not regain compliance during the compliance period ending June 8, 2026, then Nasdaq may grant the Company a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance, provided the Company meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly-held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the minimum closing bid price requirement, and notifies Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and seek to regain compliance with all applicable Nasdaq requirements within the allotted compliance periods. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance periods, including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Common Stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 days to regain compliance or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 4.8% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (US$24m net loss in 2 years). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (4.8% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (US$28.5m market cap). Annonce • Mar 14

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: US$65k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (US$22m net loss in 2 years).
