- Verify the final aggregate purchase price of shares sold to calculate the actual success fees payable to KBW.
- Confirm whether a syndicated community offering is conducted, which would trigger the higher 5.0% fee tier.
- Review the full Agency Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) for additional terms, termination clauses, or indemnification provisions not summarized here.
- Monitor the status of the charitable foundation and the allocation of shares contributed to it, as these are excluded from fee calculations.
