Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final closing date and whether all regulatory consents were obtained by January 15, 2027.
- Monitor the quarterly EBITDA performance of the FWA Business to determine if Nokia's reimbursement obligations or Inseego's profit-sharing payments are triggered.
- Review the full Asset Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 2.1) for specific definitions of "negative EBITDA" and the limitations on reimbursements/profit sharing.
- Assess the dilution impact of the 1,939,488 total shares issued (1,163,693 acquisition + 775,795 investment) and the potential dilution from 781,708 warrants.
- Confirm the integration progress of the FWA Business and any retention of key Nokia personnel.
