Material Changes
- Delisting Notice: On July 19, 2024, the Company received a final notice from Nasdaq stating it failed to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement ($1.00 per share) by the July 16, 2024 deadline.
- Equity Deficiency: Nasdaq determined the Company is not eligible for a second 180-day compliance period because it also fails to meet the minimum stockholders' equity requirements for initial listing under Listing Rule 5505.
- Scheduled Suspension: Unless an appeal is granted, the Company's securities are scheduled to be suspended at the opening of business on July 30, 2024, and removed from the NASDAQ Capital Market.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management intends to request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel by July 26, 2024. This request will stay the delisting action pending the Panel's decision. The Company plans to present a strategy to regain compliance and request additional time. However, management explicitly states there is no assurance that the Panel will grant the request or that the Company will successfully maintain its listing.
