Material Changes
On March 13, 2026, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that its common stock failed to comply with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The deficiency is due to the minimum bid price of the Company's common stock being less than $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Compliance Period: The Company has 180 calendar days, until September 9, 2026, to regain compliance.
- Requirements: To regain compliance, the minimum bid price must close at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the compliance period.
- Current Status: The notice has no present impact on the listing of the Company's securities.
- Contingencies: If the Company fails to regain compliance, it may apply to transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market. This requires a $5,000 application fee, meeting market value requirements, and potentially effecting a reverse stock split.
- Risks: There is no assurance the Company will successfully maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market. Failure to cure the deficiency could result in delisting.
- Management Action: The Company intends to actively monitor its bid price and consider available options, including a reverse stock split or transfer application.
