Material Changes
- Nasdaq Non-Compliance Notice: On March 11, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company of non-compliance with continuing listing standards (Rules 5615(b)(1) and 5605(c)(2)(A)) because a majority of the Board was not independent and the Audit Committee lacked the required three independent directors.
- Board Appointment: On March 15, 2024, Brian Hartzband was appointed as a Class I independent director to restore compliance.
- Committee Assignments: Mr. Hartzband was appointed to both the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management Commentary: The Company believes that following the appointment of Mr. Hartzband, it is now compliant with the relevant Nasdaq listing rules regarding board independence and Audit Committee composition.
Compensation: No directors, including Mr. Hartzband, receive cash compensation for services rendered. There are no undisclosed relationships or arrangements requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Risks: The primary risk addressed was the potential delisting or failure to satisfy continued listing standards due to governance structure deficiencies, which management asserts has been remediated.
