Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the effective date of the resale registration statement (Form S-1) for the Replacement Warrants to assess liquidity for holders.
- Confirm the exact net proceeds after deducting the 9% total cash fees and $35,000 in legal expenses.
- Review the Company's current cash position to determine if the $1.77 million gross proceeds are sufficient for stated working capital needs.
- Monitor compliance with the 15-day lock-up period regarding new equity issuances.
- Assess the impact of the 606,064 new shares and the warrant overhang on the current share price and earnings per share.
