The Company also paid cash finder’s fees of approximately $93,000 to certain arm’s length finders.
Akshay Dubey, CEO of the Company, stated “we are very pleased with our successful offering and I would like to extend my gratitude to our investors for their trust and support. We see the significant participation and closing of the offering as a vote of confidence for our royalty strategy, and we are confident that this strategy will deliver strong returns and cash flow generation.”
