Material Changes and Listing Status
- Deficiency: The company received notice on July 7, 2022, of non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) due to its common stock closing bid price remaining below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days.
- Initial Compliance Period: The company was granted an initial 180-day period to regain compliance, which expired on January 3, 2023.
- Extension Granted: On January 4, 2023, Nasdaq approved the company's request for a second 180-day compliance period, extending the deadline to July 3, 2023.

The report includes a standard cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements, noting that actual results may differ materially due to risks, including the potential loss of the Nasdaq listing.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current trading price of DGLY to assess the likelihood of meeting the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement by July 3, 2023.
- Review subsequent filings to determine if the company has announced a reverse stock split or other corporate actions to address the price deficiency.
- Confirm whether the company has filed for an additional extension if the July 3, 2023 deadline is approached without compliance.
- Check for any announcements regarding the potential transfer of listing to an alternative exchange (e.g., OTC markets) if delisting occurs.
