- Registration Timing: The company must file a resale registration statement within 15 days and have it declared effective within 45 days (or 75 days if a full review is required).
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final closing amount and net proceeds after deducting the 8.0% total placement agent fees and offering expenses.
- Confirm the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement to determine the exact expiration dates for Series I and Series J warrants.
- Review the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific anti-dilution adjustment formulas.
- Monitor the company's cash burn rate to assess if the $5.0 million net proceeds are sufficient for the stated product development timeline.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants, which are immediately exercisable at a nominal price.
