Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current Prime Rate to calculate the exact effective interest rate (Prime + 4.50%, with a 5.75% floor on Prime).
- Confirm the Company's current Total Liabilities to Total Tangible Assets ratio to ensure compliance with the 70% covenant threshold.
- Review the Company's cash position to ensure it can fund the required Cash Collateral Account (minimum $550,000 or 10% of loan balance).
- Assess the impact of the personal guarantee by the CEO on executive risk exposure.
- Monitor the "Accordion" feature to determine if the Company intends to draw the additional $5,000,000 capacity.
