Material Changes
- Reverse Share Split: A 1-for-7 reverse share split was executed, reducing outstanding ordinary shares from approximately 36 million to approximately 5 million.
- Trading Status: Shares began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-split basis on January 31, 2025, under the symbol "ZKIN" with a new CUSIP number (G9892K209).
- Security Adjustments: Outstanding warrants and convertible securities were adjusted by dividing the number of shares by seven and multiplying the exercise/conversion price by seven.
- Fractional Shares: No fractional shares were issued; shareholders entitled to fractions received one full post-split share.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Purpose: The reverse split is intended to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Requirement of $1.00 per share (Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)).
Compliance Timeline: Nasdaq granted the Company until February 10, 2025, to regain compliance. The closing bid price must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this period.
Risks: If the Company fails to regain compliance within the allotted period (including any extensions), Nasdaq will provide notice of suspension and delisting. The Company retains the right to appeal such a determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel.

- Confirm the adjusted exercise prices and share counts for any held warrants or convertible securities.
- Monitor for any subsequent Nasdaq notices regarding delisting or extensions of the compliance period.
