The material change reported is the receipt of a notification from the Nasdaq listing qualifications staff.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Compliance Period: SenesTech has an initial period of 180 calendar days (until February 21, 2024) to regain compliance.
- Compliance Requirement: To regain compliance, the closing bid price must be $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before the deadline.
- Secondary Compliance Option: If the initial period is unsuccessful, the company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period if it meets other listing standards (e.g., market value of publicly held shares) and provides notice of intent to cure, potentially via a reverse stock split.
- Risks: There is no assurance the company will regain compliance. Failure to do so could result in delisting. An appeal process exists but is not guaranteed to succeed.
- Management Action: Management intends to actively monitor the bid price and market value and will consider available options to achieve compliance.
