Material changes and unusual items
- The material event was the closure and receivership of SVB and the Company’s disclosure of its related banking and custodial exposure.
- The FDIC, Treasury Department and Federal Reserve subsequently announced actions intended to protect all SVB depositors and provide access to their funds beginning March 13, 2023.
- The filing does not present a prior-period comparison or quantify any realized loss, impairment, or impact on operating results.
Outlook, risks and contingencies
- Management represented that available liquidity and alternative banking relationships were sufficient to meet obligations, but this is a forward-looking statement subject to risks and uncertainties.
- Potential risks included access to deposits and money market securities, the resolution of SVB, banking-counterparty risk, and the Company’s ability to maintain sufficient liquidity.
- The Company stated that it had no obligation to update the forward-looking statements except as required by law.
Investor verification points
- Verify the ultimate availability and recovery of the approximately $20 million in SVB deposit accounts and the status of the approximately $264 million in money market securities held with SVB as custodian.
- Confirm whether the approximately $6 million in SVB-related letters of credit created any subsequent lease, collateral, or restricted-cash issues.
- Review subsequent SEC filings for any impairment, loss, liquidity change, banking relationship change, or impact on financial results.
- Reconcile the disclosed percentages to the Company’s total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments reported in subsequent filings.
