- Review the Promissory Note (Exhibit 99.2) to confirm the exact drawdown amount and repayment mechanics upon liquidation.
- Confirm the current status of the initial business combination search, as this dictates the maturity of the $1.5M note.
- Assess the impact of the 12% interest rate and 5% OID on the company's net asset value (NAV) per share.
