Material Changes and Listing Status
- Bid Price Deficiency: The company failed to meet Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) due to a closing bid price below $1.00 per share.
- Reverse Stock Splits: The company executed a 1-for-110 reverse split on October 2, 2024, and a 1-for-10 reverse split on April 4, 2025, resulting in a cumulative ratio of 1-for-1100.
