The primary risk disclosed is that the share sale is entirely conditional on a future corporate transaction (merger or asset sale) that Ruthigen is under no obligation to execute.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current status of any potential "Ruthigen Transaction" (merger or asset sale) as the share sale is contingent upon it.
- Confirm the identity of the "Buyers" and the specific terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1).
- Assess the impact of the potential 2 million share sale on existing shareholder dilution, should a Ruthigen Transaction occur.
- Review the Amended Separation Agreement between Oculus and Ruthigen dated January 31, 2014, to understand the full context of the consent requirement.
