Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On August 14, 2024, the Company received an additional staff determination letter (the “Letter”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it has not regained compliance with the minimum $35 million market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Requirement”), and that the additional delinquency may serve as a separate basis for the delisting of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq.

As previously reported, on February 15, 2024, the Company was notified by the Staff that for the previous 32 consecutive trading days the Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS) had been below the minimum of $35 million required. Therefore, in accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until August 13, 2024, to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement.

Accordingly, and as described in the Letter, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), the Company’s securities would be subject to suspension/delisting. Accordingly, the Company has timely requested a hearing before the Panel. The hearing request automatically stays any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company an additional extension period or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
