Material Changes and Transaction Terms

- Participation Rights: The Investor has the right to participate in 50% of any subsequent financing of Common Stock or equivalents through December 31, 2020, on the same terms.
- Beneficial Ownership Limitation: Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants cannot be exercised if the holder would own more than 9.99% of outstanding Common Stock.
- Adjustments: Exercise prices and share counts are subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends, or recapitalizations.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The Company intends to use the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. A press release was issued on June 24, 2020, and corrected on June 25, 2020.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Dilution: The issuance of shares and warrants will increase the number of outstanding shares, potentially diluting existing shareholders.
- Market Conditions: The ability to issue additional securities during the 75-day lock-up is contingent on the stock price exceeding $1.90.
- Registration Status: Warrants may only be exercised on a "cashless" basis if no effective registration statement is available for the underlying shares.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final closing date and actual cash received versus the projected $7 million gross proceeds.
- Review the corrected press release (Exhibit 99.2) for any material discrepancies from the initial announcement.
- Monitor the stock price relative to the $1.90 threshold to assess the Company's ability to raise additional capital during the 75-day restriction period.
- Check the Company's latest 10-Q or 10-K for current liquidity and debt levels, as this 8-K does not contain operational financial statements.
- Confirm the identity of the "Investor" and their current beneficial ownership percentage post-transaction.
