Paragraphs with nothing like them in last year's 10-K
17 paragraphs in Risk Factors of the 10-K filed Feb 26, 2026 with nothing like them in the 10-K filed Feb 27, 2025. Quoted exactly. Paragraphs that were only edited are under 10-K change.
economic conditions and global events, such as geopolitical conflicts, natural disasters, or public health crises, may disrupt our supply chain, potentially preventing us from procuring timely deliveries or securing comparable alternatives at acceptable prices.
Our use of artificial intelligence may result in operational disruptions, reputational harm, competitive challenges, regulatory scrutiny, liability, or security risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to expand our services and grow our business in response to changing technologies, customer demands, and competitive pressures. We have and may continue to expand our services and grow our business by entering into partnerships or alliances with third parties. For example, we have recently partnered with Target Corporation to open shop-in-shop stores within select Target locations, and we are partnering with Google and Samsung to develop AI-powered smart glasses. Certain of our partnerships are, and may in the future be, with partners that have significant size, scale, geographic, and other advantages over us. As a result, certain of the terms in such partnerships may be less favorable to us compared to partnerships with other parties. Any of our partnerships may not lead to the business, growth, and financial outcomes that we expect, may raise new obligations and challenges, may divert the attention of management, and may also result in higher costs for us or other negative impacts to our business, operations, regulatory posture, or strategy, which we may not anticipate or currently project, that result in a material adverse effect to our business, financial condition, and results of operations. These partnerships can require several agreements to be entered into over time following the initial partnership agreement. In addition, these partnerships may span multiple years and may require significant upfront costs. As a result, we may not be able to accurately assess the success of these partnerships for several periods and only after we have made substantial
investments and expenditures. If any partnership results in future material adverse effects to our business, financial condition, and results of operations, we may not be able to terminate such partnership on a timely or cost-effective basis and termination may result in loss of certain rights related to the partnership and the products or services subject to the partnership. If any such partnerships are terminated or any of our partners refuse to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, we may not be able to secure similar terms or replace such partners in an acceptable time frame. Additionally, certain of our partnerships depend or may in the future depend on the achievement of certain milestones. We may not achieve such milestones, which would impact our ability to realize some or all of the benefits of such partnerships.

example, we have registrations in a number of foreign countries in which we are not currently offering products or services, and those registrations could be subject to invalidation proceedings if we cannot demonstrate use of the marks by the applicable use deadlines in those countries.
We use third-party open-source software in connection with the development and deployment of our software applications. From time to time, companies that use third-party open-source software have faced claims challenging the use of such open-source software and their compliance with the terms of the applicable open-
All of the components that go into the manufacturing of our products and services are sourced from a limited number of third-party suppliers predominantly in the U.S., China, Italy, Vietnam, and Japan, and, in particular, around half of the cellulose acetate used to produce many of our frames is provided by a single supplier. Our contract manufacturers purchase many of these components on our behalf. For our business to be successful, our suppliers must be willing and able to provide us with inputs in substantial quantities, in compliance with
lengthy interruptions to our business. All of the aforementioned risks may be exacerbated if our business continuity and disaster recovery plans prove to be inadequate.

trading and register shares of Class C common stock for sale in the future. In addition, if we issue shares of Class C common stock in the future, such issuances would have a dilutive effect on the economic interests of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock.
We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase program will be fully implemented or that such program will enhance the long-term value of the share price of our Class A common stock.
In February 2026, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to purchase up to $100.0 million of our Class A common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at the Company’s discretion, depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. The Share Repurchase Program does not have a fixed expiration date, does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Class A common stock, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.
The existence of the Share Repurchase Program could affect the price of our stock and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for our stock. Although the Share Repurchase Program is intended to enhance long-term stockholder value, there is no assurance that it will do so because the market price of our Class A common stock may decline below the levels at which we repurchase shares, and short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the effectiveness of the program. Repurchasing our Class A common stock reduces the amount of cash we have available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions or investments, other business opportunities, and other general corporate projects, and we may fail to realize the anticipated long-term stockholder value of any share repurchase program.
