- Review the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific covenants and conditions.
- Confirm the filing and effectiveness of the Form S-1 registration statement for warrant shares within the required 45-day and 181-day windows.
- Monitor the Company's capital structure for any issuances of stock or equivalents during the 45-day post-closing blackout period.
- Check subsequent filings for the actual use of proceeds, as the filing only states the expected amount.
