Material Changes and Delisting Notice

Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
Management intends to timely request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. This action will automatically stay any suspension or delisting pending the Panel's decision. The Company plans to present a strategy to regain compliance with both the Bid Price Requirement and the Stockholders' Equity Rule. The Panel has the authority to grant an extension for compliance up to November 11, 2024. The filing explicitly states there is no assurance that the Panel will grant the request or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance.
