Statement of Stockholders’ Equity/(Deficit), page F-5
Options and warrants to consultants are issued to attract these individuals to the company. They are not related to any future service requirements. The portion vested upon signing on with the company belongs to the consultant, even if the consultant should leave the company the next day. Additional options and warrants to be issued in the future are to entice the consultant to stay with the company. If the consultant leaves the company before they vest, the consultant loses them. The “weighted average remaining term in months” solely relates to the remaining exercise term of the option or warrant. It does not apply to any remaining or ongoing service requirement, as the consultant may leave the company at any time. We will add similar language to future financial notes to make this clear.
Sincerely,
/s/Paul V. Gonzales,
Chief Financial Officer
