What the changes say
- A rights offering left the largest stockholder and affiliates with approximately 60% ownership and control over key shareholder votes.
- The company committed approximately $14 million for bulbs while seeking financing and has a history of covenant breaches.
- Dutch bulb costs face poor yields, a 15% U.S. tariff, euro appreciation, and limited ability to pass increases to customers.
- Credit restrictions, floating-rate debt, and agricultural production issues remain central operating risks.

About this page
Item 1A of the 10-K on EDGAR was split into its risk factors and, where the company's previous 10-K is on file, each heading was matched to last year's and the text compared word for word. The headings are the filing's own. The one-line readings and the overview were written by a language model from the text of the new, dropped, and rewritten risks; they refer to risks by position and cannot misquote a heading.
