Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final closing date of the offering (expected September 29, 2021) and actual net proceeds after deducting offering expenses.
- Review the full Securities Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific redemption rights or anti-dilution provisions not detailed in the summary.
- Confirm the impact of the 25,389,611 new shares and associated warrants on existing shareholder ownership percentages.
- Check subsequent filings for the actual use of proceeds, as the 8-K only states the gross amount raised.
