Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the company's current "Qualified Cash" and asset levels to ensure compliance with the $55,000,000 liquidity covenant.
- Confirm the status of the convertible notes due April 2022, as the credit facility maturity is contingent on cash availability to repay them.
- Review the full text of the Credit Agreement (to be filed as an exhibit to the 2020 Form 10-K) for detailed covenant definitions and exceptions.
- Assess the impact of the reduced credit capacity ($50M vs. $250M) on the company's financial flexibility.
