- Confirm the exact amount of underwriting discounts and commissions to calculate net proceeds.
- Review the full Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) for specific termination provisions and indemnification obligations.
- Monitor the exercise of the remaining underwriter option for additional shares of Common Stock (if not fully exercised).
- Check subsequent filings for the impact of this dilution on the company's cash runway and capital structure.
