Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific interest rates, covenants, and conversion terms for the $470 million Senior Secured Notes and $55 million Convertible Notes in the preliminary offering memoranda.
- Review Exhibit 99.1 (Press Release) and Exhibit 99.4 (Investor Presentation) for the intended use of proceeds and updated liquidity position.
- Confirm the final closing date and any conditions precedent to the issuance of the notes.
- Assess the impact of the new debt load on the company's leverage ratios using the most recent 10-Q or 10-K, as this 8-K does not provide a pro-forma balance sheet.
