Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
Management Commentary: The Company retains sole discretion over the timing and amount of any sales. There is no obligation to sell securities under this arrangement.

- Termination: The Company may terminate the agreement at any time with ten days' prior written notice and no penalty.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current trading price of ADIL to assess the potential dilution impact of the 95% VWAP pricing mechanism.
- Confirm the status of the SEC registration statement required for the resale of shares under the Purchase Agreement.
- Review the Company's cash runway and immediate capital needs to gauge the likelihood of utilizing the full $3,000,000 commitment.
- Monitor for any future filings regarding the exercise of the option to increase the Investment Amount to $10,000,000.
- Check for any stockholder approval filings if the Company intends to issue shares exceeding the 19.99% Exchange Cap.
