Filing receipts

These anticipated shortages, driven by factors such as the reallocation of manufacturing capacity to support artificial intelligence infrastructure and increased demand from hyperscale data center operators, and other shortages or similar supply constraints in the future may disrupt and increase the cost of our expected purchases of network equipment and servers.

ments may limit public sector contracts to companies headquartered in the governments' respective jurisdictions or require partnerships with companies based in the governments’ respective jurisdictions in order for us to sell any of our products to those governments, which could result in a loss of revenue we otherwise would receive for such sales; • governments may demand better pricing terms and public disclosure of such pricing terms, which may harm our ability to negotiate pricing terms with our non-government customers; and • governments may demand the use of local data centers, labor, or subcontractors which may require significant upfront increase in headcount and other expenses.

Utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes, such as research and development tax credits, may be subject to annual limitations, or could be subject to other limitations on utilization or benefit due to the ownership change limitations provided by Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and other similar provisions.
