Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the pro forma financial impact of the $40.65 million acquisition once the amendment is filed.
- Confirm the specific terms of the development obligation for the adjacent land and potential capital expenditure requirements.
- Review the full lease agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for detailed covenants and termination clauses.
- Monitor the utilization of the new $50 million accordion commitment and the total debt service coverage ratio given the increased leverage.
