Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the closing of the initial $198,000 tranche and the subsequent tranches over the 12-month period.
- Confirm the re-employment of the CFO, CTO, and R&D team as stated in the use of proceeds.
- Monitor the Company's cash runway post-closing to assess if additional capital raises will be required.
- Review the dilution impact of the 354,285 total potential new ADSs (warrants + direct issuance) relative to the current share count.
- Check for any updates on the Company's core business pipeline or clinical progress, as this filing focuses solely on financing.
