Material Changes
Nasdaq Non-Compliance Notice: On February 16, 2024, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq stating it no longer complies with the minimum bid price requirement (Listing Rule 5450(a)(1)).
- Deficiency: The closing bid price of Common Shares was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days.
- Immediate Effect: None; the shares remain listed.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Compliance Timeline: The Company has an initial 180-day compliance period to regain compliance. The closing bid price must be at least $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive trading days prior to August 14, 2024.
Extension Criteria: If compliance is not met by August 14, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period. However, to qualify, the Company must meet the market value of publicly held shares requirement, which it does not currently meet.
Risks:
- Failure to regain compliance within the allotted periods could result in delisting.
- There is no assurance that the Company will regain compliance or that Nasdaq will grant further extensions.
Management Action: The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price and consider available options to resolve the noncompliance.
