Material Changes

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the actual closing date of the Registered Offering to confirm if proceeds were received as expected.
- Review the full text of the Placement Agent Agreement (Exhibit 1) and Securities Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 2) for lock-up periods or specific investor rights.
- Check subsequent filings to determine the net proceeds after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses.
