Funding Source: The cash portion was funded through borrowings under the Company's line of credit with First American Corporation.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the terms of the $9,000,000 in subordinated promissory notes (interest rates, maturity, covenants) in the attached Stock Purchase Agreement.
- Review the impact of the $5,000,000 cash outflow on the Company's remaining liquidity and line of credit capacity with First American Corporation.
- Monitor the upcoming amendment to this 8-K (due within 71 days) for pro forma financial information to assess the acquisition's impact on earnings and balance sheet strength.
- Confirm the valuation of the $4,000,000 Class A common stock issuance relative to the market price at the time of the transaction.
