in filing could impact investor confidence and the company's stock performance. The situation underscores the importance of timely and transparent financial reporting, which is crucial for maintaining market integrity and investor trust. The outcome of this situation could influence Horizon's operational and financial strategies, as well as its reputation in the industry.
