Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Delisting Risk: If the Company fails to regain compliance by October 6, 2025, and is not eligible for an additional 180-day extension, its ordinary shares may be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. Currently, shares continue to trade under the symbol "CHEK."
Management Commentary: The filing indicates no immediate effect on trading status during the compliance period but highlights the necessity of meeting the bid price threshold to avoid potential delisting proceedings.
