Material Changes
- Delisting Notice: On January 31, 2023, the company received a written notice from Nasdaq stating that its common stock failed to maintain the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (December 15, 2022, through January 30, 2023).
- Listing Status: The stock is not immediately delisted, but a non-compliance indicator will be displayed on Nasdaq trading platforms.
- Corporate Updates: On February 2, 2023, the company issued a press release regarding corporate and clinical updates (furnished as Exhibit 99.1), though the specific details of these updates are not contained within the body of this 8-K text.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Compliance Period: The company has 180 calendar days (until July 31, 2023) to regain compliance by maintaining a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days.
- Contingency Plan: If compliance is not met by the deadline, the company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period, contingent upon transferring its listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market and meeting other listing standards. The company may consider a reverse stock split to cure the deficiency.
- Risks: There is no assurance the company will regain compliance. If the Nasdaq staff determines the deficiency cannot be cured, the stock may be subject to delisting. Any appeal to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel is not guaranteed to be successful.
