Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific terms of the Convertible Debenture (interest rate, conversion price, maturity date) in Exhibit 4.1, as the text only states terms are identical to the November 2, 2020 filing.
- Confirm the total outstanding debt and liquidity position of the Company by reviewing the most recent 10-K or 10-Q, as this 8-K does not provide aggregate financial data.
- Review the November 2, 2020 Form 8-K to understand the full context of the initial agreement with YA II PN, LTD.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the conversion of these debentures or additional issuances to the same purchaser.
