Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current status of the resale registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
- Confirm whether any liquidated damages fees were incurred due to delays in the registration effectiveness.
- Review the total share count post-transaction to assess dilution from the 2,053,218 shares issued (2 per unit) plus potential warrant exercises.
- Check subsequent filings for the conversion of the $123,287 in unpaid obligations and its impact on the company's balance sheet.
