Key Financial Metrics and Capital Structure Changes

Material Changes and Listing Status
On June 30, 2025, the Company received notice from Nasdaq regarding non-compliance with two listing standards based on trading activity between May 14, 2025, and June 27, 2025:
- Minimum Bid Price: Failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (Rule 5450(a)(1)).
- Market Value: Failed to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities of $50 million (Rule 5450(b)(2)(A)).
The Company has been granted an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, expiring on December 29, 2025, to regain compliance. Failure to comply may result in delisting.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management intends to actively monitor share price and market value and is evaluating options to regain compliance, which may include a reverse stock split. The filing explicitly states there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance or remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. The notices have no immediate effect on trading, but delisting is a risk if compliance is not achieved by the deadline.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current closing bid price and market capitalization to assess the likelihood of meeting the $1.00 bid price and $50 million market value thresholds by December 29, 2025.
- Review the impact of the recent issuance of approximately 30.5 million shares (from debt, warrants, and notes) on existing shareholder dilution.
- Monitor for any subsequent filings regarding a potential reverse stock split or additional compliance extensions.
- Confirm the status of the $12.17 million debt extinguishment and its effect on the Company's balance sheet leverage.
