Material Changes Versus the Prior Comparable Period
- Effective at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time on October 18, 2022, the company implemented a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock.

- The approved warrant issuance and potential exercise-price reductions could materially dilute existing stockholders by increasing the number of shares outstanding.
- The filing does not state whether Nasdaq compliance was ultimately restored or whether additional compliance risks remain.
- Approval of the reverse split and warrant-related proposal does not provide information about the company’s operating outlook, liquidity, or ability to service its senior secured note.
