Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
Management commentary is limited to the terms of the transaction. Key risks and contingencies include:
- Stockholder Approval: The Company must obtain stockholder approval by December 12, 2023, to issue shares below the Nasdaq "Minimum Price." Approximately 61% of voting power has already agreed to vote in favor.
- Liquidity: No established trading market exists for the Series A Preferred Stock, limiting its liquidity.
- Registration Delay Payments: If the Company fails to file or have declared effective a registration statement for the Warrant Shares by specific deadlines, it must pay the investor 2% of the purchase price every 30 days until cured, accruing interest at 1.5% per month.
- Restrictive Period: The Company is prohibited from issuing additional equity or entering into variable rate transactions for 90 days post-closing and until the registration statement is effective.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Confirm the outcome of the stockholder vote required by December 12, 2023, for Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) compliance.
- Monitor the filing and effectiveness of the Form S-1 registration statement for the Warrant Shares to avoid Registration Delay Payments.
- Review the impact of the "full ratchet" anti-dilution provision on existing common shareholders in future capital raises.
- Assess the dilution impact of the 19,700,552 shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and the concurrent warrants.
