Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The Company intends to monitor its stock price and may consider options, including a reverse stock split, to regain compliance. However, the filing explicitly states there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement or other Nasdaq Listing Rules. If the Company fails to regain compliance by the December 5, 2022 deadline, it may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period, contingent on meeting other listing standards and providing written notice of intent to cure the deficiency.
