Material Changes
On July 1, 2025, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff determined that the Company's common stock bid price had closed below the $1.00 minimum required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for the prior 30 consecutive business days. Based on this determination, the staff notified the Company of its intent to delist the securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

- Management Plan: The Company intends to present a comprehensive plan to the Panel to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and is committed to maintaining its Nasdaq listing.
- Risks and Uncertainties: The filing includes forward-looking statements regarding the ability to regain compliance. These are subject to risks, including the trading price of the Common Stock and other factors disclosed in the Company's most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. There is no guarantee the Company will successfully regain compliance in a timely manner or at all.
