Nasdaq Developments

 

As previously disclosed, on June 26, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “June 26, 2024 Letter”) from the staff at the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Staff had determined that it did not meet the terms of the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of at least $2,500,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

 

On April 7, 2025, the Company received a second letter from the Staff (the “April 7, 2025 Letter”) stating that in addition to the failure to meet the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, the Staff made additional determinations (the “Additional Deficiencies”) that the Company (1) failed to comply with the Nasdaq’s shareholder approval requirements pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 (b), (c) and (d), in connection with the closing of transactions under that certain Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, dated February 18, 2025, attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2025, and (2) does not currently comply with the Nasdaq’s majority independent board, independent audit committee, compensation committee and nomination committee requirements as set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), 5605(c)(2), 5605(d)(2) and 5605(e), respectively.

The Company has 180 calendar days, or by October 6, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) but could be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period.
