Material Changes
On June 24, 2024, the company received notification from Nasdaq that its common stock bid price closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. Consequently, the company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

- Compliance Requirement: To cure the deficiency, the closing bid price must be $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before the deadline.
- Secondary Compliance Option: If the initial period is unsuccessful, the company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period if it meets market value and other initial listing standards, potentially requiring a reverse stock split.
- Delisting Risks: Failure to regain compliance could lead to delisting, which may reduce stock liquidity and market price, limit access to public capital markets, and impair the ability to provide equity incentives to employees.
- Forward-Looking Statements: Management states there is no assurance that compliance will be achieved or that Nasdaq will grant relief from delisting.
