Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final closing date and confirmation of the $2,500,000 funding receipt.
- Review the filed Prospectus Supplement for the Registered Offering portion to confirm final terms.
- Assess the impact of the 8% interest rate and the $2.78M principal obligation on future cash flow requirements.
- Confirm the extent of assets pledged under the Security Agreement and IP Security Agreement.
- Monitor the Company's ability to register the Warrants within 180 days to ensure they remain exercisable on a cash basis rather than cashless.
