Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact amount of "existing indebtedness" to be repaid with the $4.75 million proceeds.
- Confirm the total number of shares outstanding post-offering to assess the immediate dilution impact of the 4.75 million new shares/warrants plus the 9.2 million Lead Investor warrants.
- Review the "Nasdaq Minimum Price" calculation to understand the floor price for the anti-dilution adjustment on warrants.
- Monitor the filing of the registration statement (S-1 or S-3) required within 30 days to enable resale of the securities.
- Check the Company's cash balance and debt schedule to determine if the proceeds are sufficient to cover all targeted debt repayments.
