Material Changes and Listing Status

- Deadline: The new deadline to meet the requirement is May 6, 2024.
- Deficiency: The Company failed to meet Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.

- Conditions Met: The extension was granted because the Company met the continued listing requirement for the market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable initial listing requirements, with the exception of the bid price.
