• For investors, the change documents formal cash compensation to the CEO and directors for search and advisory work related to business combinations; the amounts are modest ($4k–$6k quarterly).
• These payments will increase the company’s recurring operating cash outflows to board/management while the company pursues potential transactions and governance activities.
