Material Changes and Delisting Notice
- Delisting Notice: On April 24, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that it no longer complies with Listing Rule 5250(c) due to the failure to file the 2024 Form 10-K.
- Previous Action: A Nasdaq Hearings Panel decision on December 2, 2024, imposed a Discretionary Panel Monitor, warning of a delist determination if compliance was not maintained within a year.
- Consequences: If the Company does not appeal by May 1, 2025, trading will be suspended on May 5, 2025, followed by formal removal from listing via Form 25-NSE.
- Reason for Delay: The delay in filing the 2024 Form 10-K is attributed to the need for additional time to complete customary accounting and internal control processes.
Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
Management intends to appeal the delisting decision to Nasdaq on May 1, 2025, and is working diligently to file the 2024 Form 10-K as soon as practicable. However, the Company explicitly states there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant a further extension or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance. The filing includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers regarding the timing of the 10-K filing and the success of the appeal process.
