Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current outstanding share count to assess the potential impact of a 1,000,000 share repurchase on ownership dilution.
- Review the subsidiary QXTEL's dividend history and current cash position to confirm the availability of funds for the repurchase program.
- Monitor future Form 10-Q and 10-K filings for actual repurchase activity, as no immediate purchases are guaranteed.
- Check for the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) for any additional details on the program's strategic rationale.
