- Monitor future announcements regarding the reverse stock split, as the Board has discretion on the timing and exact ratio (1:2 to 1:250) within the next two years.
- Review the Broker Non-Votes (3,504,257 shares) which were significant for the director elections and the stock plan approval, indicating a portion of shares held by brokers did not vote on these specific matters.
- Confirm the Company's current financial status and cash runway in the most recent quarterly or annual report, as this 8-K contains no financial data.
