- Registration Timelines: The Company faces financial penalties if the registration statement for the new securities is not filed within 30 days of closing or declared effective within 30 to 60 days thereafter (depending on SEC review).
- Beneficial Ownership Limits: Warrant exercise is restricted if it would cause a holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of outstanding shares, unless the holder elects to increase this limit up to 19.99%.
