Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the timely filing of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as this is a condition precedent for the $20 million First Closing.
- Confirm the status of stockholder approval required for the Second Closing and issuances exceeding the Nasdaq Exchange Cap.
- Review the specific monthly principal repayment schedule ($1M-$3M) to assess immediate liquidity impact post-closing.
- Monitor the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the resale of Conversion Shares, required for the Second Closing.
- Check for any events of default that would trigger the 18% interest rate on the debentures.
