- Review Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 for the complete terms, vesting provisions, and termination conditions of the agreements.
- Verify the number of shares outstanding and potential dilution from the 1,000,000 initial options, annual director options, and revenue-based additional options.
- Review the Exhibit 99.1 press release for management’s stated strategy and outlook.
- Confirm the applicable event and filing dates, because the report cites March 7 as the earliest event date but describes actions and was signed on March 13.
