Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not contain financial statements, revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, or liquidity data. The report focuses exclusively on a regulatory compliance matter regarding the Company's stock listing status.
Material Changes and Listing Status
On October 28, 2022, the Company received a written notice from Nasdaq stating that the closing bid price of its common stock had been below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. Consequently, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Requirement").
- Current Status: The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock.
- Compliance Period: The Company has 180 calendar days from the date of the notice to regain compliance, with a deadline of April 26, 2023.
- Requirement to Cure: To regain compliance, the closing bid price must be at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days prior to the Compliance Date.
- Secondary Compliance Period: If the Company fails to regain compliance by April 26, 2023, it may be eligible for an additional 180-day period. Qualification requires meeting the market value of publicly held shares requirement and all other initial listing standards, potentially necessitating a reverse stock split.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
