Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final net proceeds after deducting offering expenses, as only gross proceeds ($7.522 million) are stated.
- Review the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific covenants and restrictions.
- Confirm the current cash position and burn rate by reviewing the Form 10-Q filed on May 13, 2019, as this 8-K does not provide current cash balances.
- Monitor the timeline for PTC's director designation rights and potential future financing participation.
