Risks and Contingencies:
- Dilution: The issuance of new shares and warrants will dilute existing shareholders.
- Warrant Terms: Warrants are exercisable after six months for a period of five and a half years. They may be exercised on a cashless basis if no effective registration statement exists for the underlying ADSs six months post-issuance.
- Resale Restrictions: The warrants and underlying ADSs are unregistered and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. except pursuant to an effective registration statement or applicable exemption.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact number of shares outstanding post-offering to assess dilution impact.
- Confirm the use of proceeds from the $9,000,002 raised.
- Review the full Placement Agent Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for additional fee structures or conditions.
- Monitor the status of the registration statement for the warrant underlying ADSs to determine if cashless exercise provisions may be triggered.
