Investor Verification Checklist

- Review the company's most recent Form 10-K for existing debt levels and liquidity status to understand the necessity of this capital raise.
- Monitor future filings for actual sales activity, as the agreement does not guarantee any shares will be sold.
- Check the status of the Form S-3 registration statement (No. 333-271091) to ensure it remains effective for these sales.
