Material Changes and Events
- Nasdaq Non-Compliance: On May 24, 2023, the company received a notification from Nasdaq indicating non-compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to the failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023, within the prescribed timeframe.
