Material Changes
The primary material event is the receipt of a notification from Nasdaq on February 21, 2025, stating that the Company's ordinary shares traded below the minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. This constitutes a deficiency under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

- Remediation Requirement: To close the matter, the closing bid price must be at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the compliance period.
- Delisting Risk: If compliance is not achieved by August 20, 2025, the Company may face delisting unless it qualifies for an additional 180-day grace period.
- Grace Period Conditions: To qualify for an extension, the Company must meet the market value of publicly held shares requirement and all other initial listing standards, potentially requiring a reverse stock split.
- Trading Status: Shares will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol "BTOG" during this process.
