Investor Verification Checklist

- Confirm whether Steven Urvan will surrender the 2,857,143 shares for cancellation or elect to make the cash payment, as this affects share count and ownership structure.
- Review the full text of the Confidential Settlement Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for any undisclosed indemnification obligations or future liabilities.
- Monitor the 45-day window for the tender of funds to the escrow agent to ensure timely dismissal of the litigation.
