New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 13% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Announcement • Jul 24

Pliant Picks Coastal Financial as Sponsor Bank for US Commercial Card Market Entry Pliant has officially launched in the U.S. through a partnership with Coastal Financial, which will act as Pliant’s U.S. sponsor bank to support compliant market entry and long-term scalability in the commercial card market.
The arrangement is important for Coastal Financial because it plugs the bank into Pliant’s planned agent-based issuing structures and wider U.S. banking ecosystem footprint, tying Coastal to the company’s expansion in one of the world’s largest commercial card markets.
Coastal Financial shares trade at about $78.85, with the stock down 30.4% year to date, so this new sponsorship role comes against a backdrop of recent share price weakness.
The main read-through is that Coastal Financial is deepening its role as an infrastructure provider to fintechs, which could broaden revenue sources but also increases execution and compliance risk tied to Pliant’s U.S. rollout. Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • May 04

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$403k 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Recent Insider Transactions • May 21

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 12% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Dec 16
