The Company entered into Subscription Agreements to raise capital. A material change involves the immediate obligation to redeem convertible notes issued to Petrichor Opportunities Fund I LP and Petrichor Opportunities Fund I Intermediate LP.

Outlook, Risks, and Use of Proceeds
Use of Proceeds: The primary use of the US$5,025,000 raised is to partially fund the repurchase of the Petrichor Notes. The Company intends to use remaining net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing highlights a critical contingency: the Company must secure an additional approximately US$16.7 million to fully satisfy the US$21.7 million debt redemption obligation by November 19, 2025. The text does not explicitly state the source of these additional funds, presenting a potential liquidity risk if the full redemption cannot be met.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the source of the remaining ~US$16.7 million required to fully redeem the Petrichor Notes by the November 19, 2025 deadline.
- Confirm the total outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Petrichor Notes to validate the US$21,729,455 redemption figure.
- Review the Subscription Agreements (Exhibit 10.1) for any covenants or conditions related to the debt repayment.
- Assess the Company's current cash balance and working capital position to determine if the partial proceeds are sufficient to maintain operations pending further financing.
