Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the identity of the "Selling Shareholder" to determine if the sale represents a significant reduction in ownership by a major stakeholder.
- Confirm whether the company received any portion of the proceeds or if the transaction was purely a secondary sale.
- Review the full Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) for details on lock-up periods, over-allotment options, or other covenants.
- Check subsequent filings to see if the offering was fully completed and the final number of shares sold.
