- Sales are restricted in jurisdictions where the offer or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final number of shares sold and actual gross proceeds raised, as the 2,400,000 share figure is a maximum capacity.
- Review the full text of the Placement Agency Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) for specific indemnification obligations and termination clauses.
- Confirm the use of proceeds as detailed in the related Prospectus and Registration Statement.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the completion or termination of the offering.
- Verify the Company's current financial position (cash, debt, and liquidity) in the most recent 10-K or 10-Q, as this 8-K does not contain those figures.
