Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final closing date and actual net proceeds after deducting all fees and expenses.
- Confirm the exact percentage of outstanding Common Stock held by the Investor post-closing to assess dilution impact.
- Review the attached Securities Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific covenants and representations.
- Monitor the filing of the resale registration statement for the Common Warrants within the required 60-90 day window.
- Check subsequent filings for any updates on the use of proceeds, as this 8-K does not specify the allocation of funds.
