Material Changes
- Reverse Stock Split: The Company intends to file a Certificate of Amendment to effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split. This action was approved by stockholders on August 15, 2024, and the Board of Directors on October 23, 2024.
- Effective Date: The split is scheduled to become effective at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on November 14, 2024.
- Trading Halt: On November 5, 2024, NYSE American halted trading in the Company's Common Stock due to the share price consistently violating Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide (low selling price).
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Resumption of Trading: NYSE American indicated it will attempt to reopen trading on November 15, 2024, contingent upon the stock trading on a post-split basis and no longer being deemed too low in price.
- Listing Risk: The primary risk identified is the failure to satisfy continued listing standards due to low share price, which necessitated the reverse split and trading halt.
