Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact net proceeds after deducting the 8.0% underwriting discount, 1.0% management fee, and reimbursable expenses.
- Confirm the total number of shares outstanding post-offering (1,571,255) and the potential dilution from the 196,497 public warrants and 32,750 representative warrants.
- Review the full text of the Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) and Warrant forms (Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2) for specific redemption rights or anti-dilution provisions.
- Check subsequent filings for the actual cash balance impact and any changes in the company's working capital strategy.
