Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (18% average weekly change). Negative equity (-US$131m). Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (3.0% increase in shares outstanding). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (US$9.4m sold).
