- Debt Acceleration: Potential acceleration of the maturity of the uncommitted senior secured revolving credit facility via Standard Chartered Bank's demand right.
- Market and Operational Risks: Macroeconomic impacts, global events (including the Russia-Ukraine conflict), supply chain disruptions, raw material shortages, rising interest rates, and inflation.
- Listing Status: Risks associated with the potential delisting of common stock from NASDAQ and challenges in obtaining re-listing.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total outstanding debt load across all shareholder loans and the senior credit facility to assess leverage.
- Confirm the current status of the NASDAQ listing and any ongoing efforts to maintain or regain compliance.
- Review the terms of the uncommitted senior secured revolving credit facility to understand the risk of immediate demand for repayment.
- Monitor the company's ability to service the interest on the shareholder loans, particularly given the variable SOFR-based rates.
- Check subsequent filings for updates on the "going concern" status and liquidity position.
