Investor Verification Checklist

- Stockholder Approval Status: Confirm that BTC has obtained the requisite 80% written consent from its stockholders within the five-day window.
- Related Party Conflicts: Review the specific holdings of CEO Bailey, CIO Evans, and CCO Creighton in BTC and UTXO to assess the magnitude of the related-party benefit.
- Holdback Mechanics: Examine the specific terms of the Holdback Shares to understand the potential reduction in immediate consideration for sellers.
- Regulatory Clearance: Monitor the status of the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) antitrust review and any other governmental approvals required for closing.
