Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the full financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, in the Company's Form 20-F filed on April 30, 2025, as this proxy statement does not contain revenue or profit data.
- Confirm the impact of the 2025 equity plan amendment (cancellation of options vs. issuance of restricted shares) on dilution and future compensation costs.
- Review the specific terms of the auditor transition from Smythe LLP to AOGB CPA Limited for any undisclosed disagreements or qualifications.
- Assess the potential liability exposure related to the change-of-control severance agreement for CEO Samuel Morrow.
- Monitor the voting results for the election of the five director nominees, particularly given the significant ownership stakes held by the Kellogg and MILFAM groups.
