Material Changes and Events
- Nasdaq Listing Extension: The Company received notice from Nasdaq granting a 180-day extension until April 12, 2021, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement of $1.00 per share (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)).
- Compliance History: The Company previously failed to meet the $1.00 bid price requirement for 30 consecutive business days. An initial 180-day cure period was extended to October 12, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Company did not regain compliance by that date.
- Current Status: The Company's listing remains fully effective during the extension period. If compliance is not achieved by April 12, 2021, the stock may be subject to delisting, at which point the Company may appeal to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel.
- Corporate Presentation: The Company began utilizing a new corporate presentation on October 13, 2020, attached as Exhibit 99.1.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company's intent to cure the bid price deficiency. There is no assurance that the Company will successfully regain compliance or that an appeal to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel would be successful if delisting is initiated. The new corporate presentation is furnished but not deemed "filed" for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
