Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
The approval enables the specified note conversions and warrant exercises on revised terms. Lower conversion and exercise prices and removal of the exchange cap could result in substantial additional common-stock issuance and dilution. The filing does not quantify the maximum number of shares issuable, the resulting ownership dilution, or the financial effect of these amendments.
No management guidance, operating outlook, contingency disclosure, or unusual operating item is provided in this filing. The definitive proxy statement filed June 26, 2023 contains additional descriptions of the proposals.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify that the filing relates to Volcon, Inc., not Empery Digital Inc.
- Review the definitive proxy statement and the amended note and warrant documents for the maximum potential share issuance.
- Assess dilution from the $0.75 conversion and exercise prices and the $0.22 floor prices.
- Confirm the precise conditions for conversion, exercise, further price amendments, and application of Nasdaq listing requirements.
- Review subsequent SEC filings for actual conversions, warrant exercises, share issuances, financing changes, and liquidity impacts.
