As previously disclosed on March 26, 2026, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq dated March 26, 2026, notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement, because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was below $1 per share for the last 30 consecutive business days.
Nasdaq has now determined that, for the last 10 consecutive business days, from August 3, 2026 to August 14, 2026, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was at or above $1.00 per share, and accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and the prior minimum bid price deficiency matter is now closed.

Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements could include changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions.
If any of these risks materialize or the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know, or that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
