Key Financial Metrics and Liquidity
The filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, or margin figures. Key liquidity details include:
- SVB Deposits: The Company withdrew funds from SVB on March 9, 2023. Approximately $4 million in customer payments were deposited into SVB accounts after this withdrawal.
- Insurance Status: Remaining deposits with SVB are largely uninsured, though the FDIC has stated all insured depositors will have full access to funds.

Management Commentary: Ribbon does not expect the SVB closure to significantly impact its operations. The Company expects to recover its remaining cash on deposit at SVB based on FDIC statements.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers regarding uncertainties in recovering uninsured deposits and the ability of other lenders to fund the Credit Facility. The Company disclaims any obligation to update these statements except as required by law.
