Material Changes and Corporate Actions
Significant changes to capital structure and listing status were reported:
- Nasdaq Non-Compliance: Received notice on November 21, 2022, of failure to meet the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. The company has 180 days (until May 22, 2023) to regain compliance or face potential delisting.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management intends to monitor the stock price to regain Nasdaq compliance by May 22, 2023. The establishment of Series B Preferred Stock indicates an active effort to facilitate a reverse stock split to address the listing deficiency.
