Material Changes
The material event reported is the receipt of a written notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC. The notice states that the Company's common stock closing bid price remained below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for 30 consecutive business days, resulting in non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

- Regain Compliance Criteria: The closing bid price must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days within the 180-day period.
