Material Changes
The primary material event is the failure of SIGA's common stock to meet the minimum bid price requirement for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Specifically:

- This violates Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4).
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

To satisfy the requirement, the bid price must close at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before the deadline. Management intends to monitor the bid price and consider available options if the stock does not trade at a level likely to result in compliance.
