Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the net proceeds after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, as only gross proceeds ($9.0 million) are stated.
- Review the Prospectus filed under Rule 424(b)(4) on December 11, 2025, for the full "Description of Securities We Are Offering" to understand dilution risks.
- Monitor the "Adjustment Price" calculation 10 trading days post-closing to determine the reset exercise price for Class D Warrants.
- Confirm the current Nasdaq Minimum Price to assess the "Floor Price" floor for warrant adjustments.
- Check the company's latest Form 20-F or 10-K for baseline financial health (revenue, debt, liquidity) as this 6-K does not contain operational financial statements.
