Investor Verification Checklist

  • Verify the Company's current unrestricted cash balance to ensure compliance with the $15.0 million minimum liquidity covenant.
  • Confirm current quarterly CPaaS revenue figures to ensure they meet or exceed total indebtedness.
  • Review the full text of the Credit and Security Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific definitions of "indebtedness" and lien exceptions.
  • Monitor future borrowings against the $25.0 million facility limit and interest rate fluctuations tied to prime, federal funds, or LIBOR.
