- Additional Deposit Deadline: The deadline for the Purchaser to deposit an additional $400,000 into escrow is extended from March 15, 2007, to July 2, 2007.
- Parcel B Closing Date: Extended to the later of March 25, 2008, or 30 days after K&B vacates Parcel B, with a cap of 10 months following the Parcel A closing.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Conditions to Closing: The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and special conditions, including the negotiation of a definitive agreement regarding K&B's post-closing possessory rights.
Risks and Forward-Looking Statements: The filing includes standard disclaimers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual events may differ materially due to risks and uncertainties outside CECO's control.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Monitor the negotiation progress of the definitive agreement regarding K&B's post-closing possessory rights, a specific condition for closing.
- Confirm the timeline for K&B vacating Parcel B to determine the final closing date for that parcel.
