Material Changes

- Contingencies: If compliance is not met by October 9, 2024, the company may be eligible for an additional 180-day grace period. Qualification requires meeting the market value of publicly held shares and other initial listing standards.
- Reverse Stock Split: The company may effect a reverse stock split to cure the deficiency, which must be completed no later than ten business days prior to the expiration of the second compliance period.
