Material Changes
- Executive Leadership: The Board terminated the employment of CEO Steve Cooper and appointed independent Board member David Raun as Interim CEO on February 15, 2020.

- Cure Period: Nasdaq granted a cure period until the earlier of the next annual shareholders' meeting or February 15, 2021. If the meeting occurs before August 13, 2020, compliance must be evidenced by that date.
- Management Plan: The Company anticipates regaining compliance at its next annual shareholders' meeting, tentatively scheduled for May 20, 2020.
