Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the Company's current ability to meet the 1.25:1 fixed charge coverage ratio and 3.00:1 leverage ratio covenants.
- Confirm the status of the remaining $1.85 million+ required for the coating system and the likelihood of securing additional funding from Texas Capital Bank.
