Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final net proceeds after deducting the 7% placement fee and legal expenses.
- Confirm the exact number of Ordinary Shares outstanding post-offering to assess dilution impact.
- Review the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 99.1) for specific redemption or cashless exercise conditions.
- Monitor the 120-day lock-up expiration date for potential selling pressure from insiders.
- Check subsequent filings for updates on how the $5 million in proceeds are being deployed for working capital.
