Material Changes

- Reason for Deficiency: Failure to maintain a minimum of 300 public holders.
- Current Status: The notice is a notification of deficiency and does not result in immediate delisting or affect current trading.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
The Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance with the 300 public holder requirement by September 23, 2019. If Nasdaq accepts the plan, the Company may receive an extension of up to 180 calendar days to evidence compliance. If the plan is rejected, the Company retains the right to appeal the decision before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Management notes that actual results may vary due to the uncertainty of submitting a satisfactory compliance plan and achieving the required number of public holders.
