Material Changes
The primary event reported is the Company's failure to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement ($1.00 per share) by the initial deadline of January 9, 2023. Consequently, the Company received notification of an additional 180-day compliance period extending to July 10, 2023.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

- Appeal Rights: In the event of delisting, the Company may appeal the determination to a Hearings Panel.
