This is formal notification that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) will consider this matter in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, which is scheduled for Pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(d), the Company should present its views with respect to this additional deficiency at its Panel hearing to be held on March 12, 2024, as disclosed in Form 8-K Filed on December 19, 2024. If the Company fails to address the aforementioned issue, the Panel will consider the record as presented at the hearing and will make its determination based upon that information.
