Resumption of Trading

 

As previously reported, on April 29, 2025, the Nasdaq staff informed the Company that, pursuant to the staff’s authority under Listing Rule 4120(a)(5), trading in its common shares on Nasdaq has been halted pending the outcome of the Company’s appeal hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, currently scheduled for May 20, 2025, unless the staff determines to lift the halt prior to the hearing. To enable the Company’s common shares to trade on an alternative market, the Company has determined to forego its right to appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination. The Nasdaq staff has informed the Company that its common shares will resume trading on Nasdaq for one trading day, on May 19, 2025, prior to suspending the common shares as of the following trading day. The Company currently expects that its common shares will begin trading on the OTC Pink Current Market maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTC Markets”) beginning on May 20, 2025, in accordance with Rule 15c2-11(f)(1) under the Exchange Act. The OTC Pink Current Market will become the OTCID Basic Market effective as of July 1, 2025. The OTCID Basic Market is for companies that meet a minimal current information standard and provide management certification, without the qualitative standards of the OTCQX Best Market and OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”). As an SEC reporting company, the Company satisfies and exceeds the minimal current information standard of the OTCID. The Company will continue to pursue its application to trade on the OTCQB, though no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to satisfy the criteria for trading on the OTCQB or that the staff of OTC Markets will approve the Company’s application to trade on the OTCQB.
