The company immediately issued 1,000,000 Class A shares for a nominal price of $0.0001 per share, representing a significant transfer of value to the investor. Additionally, if the company fails to make monthly cash payments, the investor can force the issuance of more shares at a deep discount (85% of VWAP), leading to substantial future dilution.
