Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Use of Proceeds: SIGA intends to use the $5.5 million for general corporate purposes.
- Regulatory Status: The securities were sold unregistered under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D. They may not be offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an exemption.
- Registration Rights: The Purchase Agreement grants the investor registration rights regarding the shares and underlying warrant shares.
Investor Verification Checklist
