- Review the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 4.1) for specific anti-dilution adjustment mechanics.
- Monitor the Company's cash position to assess the likelihood of exercising the maturity extension options.
- Check subsequent filings for the registration statement required under the Registration Rights Agreement.
