Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current trading price of FLUX to assess the likelihood of meeting the $0.50 Threshold Price for sales.
- Review the Company's most recent 10-K or 10-Q to confirm the total number of outstanding shares and calculate the exact share count under the 19.999% Exchange Cap.
- Monitor the effectiveness of the registration statement filed by the Company, as the facility cannot commence until the SEC declares it effective.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the payment of the $800,000 commitment fee from initial proceeds.
- Assess the impact of the 3.0% to 5.25% discount on potential shareholder dilution if the full $40,000,000 is utilized.
