Material Changes
- Reverse Stock Split: The Board approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of outstanding common stock.
- Effective Date: The split is effective as of June 17, 2024, with trading on a split-adjusted basis commencing at the market open on that date.
- Share Consolidation: Every 20 pre-split shares will be combined into one post-split share. Fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
- Equity Adjustments: Outstanding stock options, warrants, restricted stock, and restricted stock units will be adjusted proportionately. The number of shares available under equity incentive plans will also be reduced proportionately.
- Listing Compliance: The action is intended to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management states there can be no assurance that the reverse split will successfully allow the Company to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Bid Price Requirement. Continued non-compliance or delisting would materially and adversely affect the Company's ability to raise capital and its financial condition. The filing includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers regarding risks related to Nasdaq listing rules and the diversion of personnel resources.
