Filing language.
Direct excerpts from acquisition disclosures and strategy sections: the verbs the buyer chose, in the filings they signed.
“The Company has approximately $19.4 million intercompany payables due from Optilan (UK), which will increase the Company liabilities for any obligations not repaid.”
“The Company is an Unsecured creditor of Optilan (UK) Limited and is at risk of losing any repayment of obligations due from Optilan (UK) Limited because there are several intercompany relationships between the Company and Optilan (UK) Limited, the financial impact of any future claims and liabilities may not be known for several months.”
