Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
Management Commentary and Outlook: The Company expects to use the proceeds to support growth and liquidity. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Closing Risk: The transaction is expected to close on June 1, 2026, but is subject to satisfaction of conditions; failure to meet these may prevent closing.
- Liquidity Risk: No established trading market exists for the New Warrants, and the Company does not expect one to develop, resulting in extremely limited liquidity.
- Registration Risk: The Company must file a Resale Registration Statement within 15 days and have it declared effective within 60-90 days. Until effective, holders may only exercise warrants via a cashless formula.
- Lock-up Restrictions: The Company agreed not to issue new ADSs or file other registration statements for 15 days post-closing and is restricted from Variable Rate Transactions for one year.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Assess the impact of the 1,785,708 new warrant shares on future dilution and earnings per share.
- Review the Company's current cash position to ensure the $1.1 million proceeds are sufficient for stated working capital needs.
