Material Changes and Listing Status
- Initial Notice: On May 2, 2024, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that its common stock bid price closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for 30 consecutive business days (March 20, 2024, to May 1, 2024).
- Extension Granted: On October 30, 2024, Nasdaq granted the Company a 180-day extension to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
- New Deadline: The Company must meet the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement by April 28, 2025.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Management stated that the extension has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the common stock. However, significant risks remain:
- Delisting Risk: If the Company fails to regain compliance by April 28, 2025, Nasdaq will issue a delisting notification.
- Appeal Uncertainty: While the Company may appeal a delisting determination to a hearings panel, there is no assurance such an appeal would be successful.
- Reverse Stock Split Risks: Regaining compliance via a reverse stock split is contingent on shareholder approval and the Company's ability to timely effectuate the split.
