Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the effective date of the shelf registration statement filed for the resale of the new shares and warrants.
- Confirm the total number of outstanding shares post-transaction to assess dilution impact.
- Review the definitive Conversion Agreement (Exhibit 10.3) and Securities Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific covenants or conditions.
- Check subsequent filings for the status of the $5.17 million additional paid-in capital contribution.
- Monitor the company's cash burn rate to determine if the $5 million net proceeds are sufficient for the stated working capital needs.
