Material Changes
On August 29, 2024, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market stating it is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The minimum bid price of the Company's common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days.

- Alternative Path: If compliance is not met by the deadline, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period if it transfers to The Nasdaq Capital Market, provided it meets other listing standards (excluding bid price) and notifies Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency, potentially via a reverse stock split.
- Delisting Risk: Failure to regain compliance or transfer markets may result in delisting. The Company may appeal such a determination, but there is no assurance of success.
