Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Risks/Contingencies: The filing references a Warrant Agreement with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The description of the warrants is qualified by the full text of the agreement filed as Exhibit 4.1.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact number of shares outstanding post-offering to assess dilution impact.
- Review the full Warrant Agreement (Exhibit 4.1) for specific redemption rights and exercise conditions.
- Confirm the use of the $83.1 million in net proceeds as outlined in the accompanying press release (Exhibit 99.1).
- Monitor the trading status of the warrants (HYMCW and HYMCZ) given the company's statement that they will not be listed on an exchange.
