Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current market price of TIVC common stock to assess the potential dilution impact of selling up to $1,767,913 in shares.
- Review the full text of the Equity Distribution Agreement (Exhibit 10.1 in the original September 2024 filing) for specific terms regarding sales methods and termination rights.
- Confirm the Company's current cash position in the most recent 10-Q or 10-K, as this filing does not disclose liquidity status.
- Check for any subsequent filings indicating if the $1,767,913 limit has been reached or if the Company has filed for a larger shelf registration.
