Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of the "definitive agreement" regarding post-closing possessory rights, as this is a special condition for closing.
- Monitor whether the Purchaser exercises the option to extend the closing date beyond May 29, 2006, and if the required payments ($200,000 or $250,000) are made.
- Review the full text of the Seventh Amendment (Exhibit 10.1) for detailed terms not summarized in the 8-K.
- Confirm if the sale of the Cincinnati facilities impacts CECO's operational capacity or future real estate strategy.
