Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the Company's current cash position to assess ability to service the 15% interest or prepay the note at a premium.
- Review the full text of the Convertible Promissory Note (Exhibit 10.139) for specific default triggers.
- Assess the potential dilution impact of 9,375,000 warrant shares and the note conversion at the $0.025 price.
- Confirm the status of any planned "Up List Offering" or IPO, as this triggers price adjustments.
- Check for any existing convertible debt excluded from the anti-dilution provisions mentioned in the filing.
