Material Changes
The primary material event is the receipt of a deficiency notification from Nasdaq on November 20, 2024. The company is in non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to the failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
