Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact amount drawn down under the $1.5 million promissory note, as the filing states the aggregate principal is "up to" this amount.
- Confirm the current cash balance and runway of the Company to assess the necessity of this working capital facility.
- Review the full text of the Promissory Note (Exhibit 10.1) for any covenants or default provisions not summarized in the 8-K.
- Monitor the status of the initial business combination search, as the note matures upon closing or liquidation.
- Assess the potential dilution impact if the Sponsor converts the full $1.5 million principal into units at $10.00 per unit.
