- Confirm the volume of limited partnership units tendered for redemption to assess the actual dilution from the 4,769,549 share cap.
- Review the full text of the Distribution Agreement dated May 31, 2023, for specific terms regarding the sales agents and pricing mechanisms.
- Monitor future 10-Q or 10-K filings for the impact of these equity issuances on the Company's debt-to-equity ratio and liquidity position.
