Previous report
We may not be able to maintain our current listing for our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Failure to maintain the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq could adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock.
Previous report
Our inability to maintain our current listing on Nasdaq may limit the liquidity of our stock, increase its volatility, and hinder our ability to raise capital. If our common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, our common stock may be eligible for quotation on an over-the-counter quotation system or on the pink sheets. Upon any such delisting, our common stock would become subject to the regulations of the SEC relating to the market for penny stocks. A penny stock is any equity security not traded on a national securities exchange that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The regulations applicable to penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity for our common stock and could limit the ability of shareholders to sell securities in the secondary market. In such a case, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock, and there can be no assurance that our common stock will be eligible for trading or quotation on any alternative exchanges or markets.
Previous report
Delisting from Nasdaq could adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through public or private sales of equity securities, would significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and would negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock. Delisting could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of confidence by employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.
Previous report
As previously disclosed, during 2023 and 2024 we were not in compliance with (x) the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Bid Price Requirement”) and (y) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) which requires companies listed on Nasdaq to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing (the “Equity Rule”). In September 2024, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company had regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement and the Equity Rule. The Company will be subject to a one year Nasdaq Listing Panel Monitor. The Company intends to monitor its bid price and stockholders' equity to remain in compliance with the applicable listing requirements.
