Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final settlement date and total proceeds received by the Selling Stockholders (CDRS Acquisition LLC and CD&R Parallel Fund VII, L.P.).
- Confirm the dilution impact on existing shareholders resulting from the issuance of 20,700,000 shares.
- Review the full Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) for specific lock-up provisions or restrictions on the Selling Stockholders.
- Check subsequent filings to determine if the Company received any net proceeds from this transaction (typically, secondary offerings do not benefit the Company directly).
