- The release of funds was subject to the note’s conditions, and $2.833333 million remained restricted to satisfy the Minimum Cash Test.
- Authorization to issue shares, warrants, debentures, or other convertible instruments may increase the company’s share count and financing flexibility.
- No management earnings guidance, forecast, contingency, litigation update, or operating outlook is provided.
