As previously disclosed, on September 1, 2022, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of the Company’s common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was granted a period of 180 calendar days, or until February 28, 2023, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

On March 1, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that it had not regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement as of February 28, 2023, and that it would need to request a hearing to seek a further extension of time.

Accordingly, the Company has a requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). As a result, all suspension and delisting action has been stayed pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. In that regard, the Panel has the discretion to grant the Company a further extension not to exceed September 5, 2023. Notwithstanding, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing.
