Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact terms of the "Replacement Debt" if the Company refinances its 9.000% Senior Notes.
- Confirm the status of the Public Debt (9.000% Senior Notes due April 15, 2021) to determine the effective maturity of the SBA loan.
- Review the full text of Amendment No. 11 to the Note and Amendment No. 12 to the Loan Agreement (Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1) for covenants or conditions not summarized in the 8-K.
- Monitor the Company's liquidity position to ensure it can service the $14.0 million SBA loan and the Public Debt by the applicable maturity dates.
