Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current market capitalization of PMGC Holdings Inc. to assess the likelihood of triggering the $50M and $100M valuation milestones.
- Review the full text of Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 for complete definitions of "Market Valuation" and "Trading Days."
- Monitor upcoming shareholder meetings for potential votes required to approve preferred stock issuances related to these bonuses.
- Assess the Company's current cash position to determine its ability to fund potential $600,000 milestone payments if valuation targets are met.
- Confirm whether any intellectual property licensing agreements are currently in negotiation that could trigger the discretionary licensing bonuses.
