Explanation of Solution

It is required by SEC that the major risks are to be identified by the companies with Item 1A of Form 10-K. Around fifty risks are identified by Company F. Most of its business aspects are covered by these risks. The difficulties of running a business are highlighted by these risks. The risk disclosures of Company F have high visibility around the world, and so, they are extensive in part.

As a result of Company F’s CEO’s control on majority of the voting stock, he has control over key decision making. This is one of the intriguing risk factors.  Issues in connection with benefits of management ownership of firms are raised by the risk factor. In extreme cases, the costs of such ownership possibly outweigh these issues.
