Current report
Our common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must maintain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements and standards. The Company timely requested a hearing, which hearing took place as scheduled on July 15, 2025. On July 22, 2025, the Panel issued the July 2025 Decision granting the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with (1) the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement pursuant to Listing Rule 5550 (b)(1) by August 14, 2025 by filing a timely public disclosure describing the transactions undertaken by the Company to achieve compliance and demonstrate long-term compliance of the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, and by providing an indication of its equity following those transactions, with the option by including in the public filing a balance sheet not older than 60 days with pro forma adjustments for any significant transactions or events occurring on or before the report date; and (2) the Minimum Bid Requirement by September 8, 2025.
Current report
On June 3, 2025, the Staff notified the Company that it was not in compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. The Company reported stockholders’ equity (deficit) of ($23,641,000) in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025, and, as a result, did not satisfy the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement pursuant to Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). As a result, the Staff determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq, unless the Company timely requests an appeal of the Staff’s determination to a hearings panel, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. The Company timely requested a hearing, which hearing took place as scheduled on July 15, 2025.

Previous report
The March 2025 Private Placement may result in an immediate trading halt or delisting of our shares of Common Stock from Nasdaq due to public interest concerns.
Previous report
Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101, Nasdaq has broad discretionary authority to terminate the listing of securities, subject to a timely-requested hearing, if it determines that continued listing is not in the public interest, even if the issuer is in compliance with Nasdaq’s enumerated listing criteria. The March 2025 Series A Warrants contain certain anti-dilution protection whereby, subject to certain exceptions, if the Company sells any shares of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable into common stock) at a price per share (or conversion or exercise price, as applicable) less than the exercise price of the March 2025 Series A Warrants then in effect, then the exercise price of the March 2025 Series A Warrants will be reduced to such lower price, but no lower than the Floor Price, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise will be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate exercise price will remain unchanged. The March 2025 Series A Warrants and March 2025 Series B Warrants contain exercise price reset and share combination event provisions that may result in a downward adjustment to the exercise price, subject to the Floor Price, and a corresponding increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise therefor, such that the aggregate exercise price would remain unchanged. The March 2025 Series B Warrants contain an alternative cashless exercise provision, pursuant to which the March 2025 Series B Warrants can be exercised without cash payment to the Company and for three (3) times the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise for cash of the March 2025 Series B Warrants. As a result of such features, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the March 2025 Series A Warrants and Series B warrants may increase significantly. As of the date of filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the 28,042,138 March 2025 Series A Warrants issued in the March 2025 Private Placement is exercisable for an aggregate of up to 84,645,187 shares of Common Stock. In addition, of the 28,042,138 March 2025 Series B Warrants issued in the March 2025 Private Placement, 2,248,080 warrants have been exercised into 16,257,428 shares of Common Stock, and the remaining March 2025 Series B Warrants is exercisable into 350,371,013 shares of Common Stock.
Previous report
If Nasdaq determines the terms of the March 2025 Private Placement raised public interest concerns due to the dilutive nature of the transaction, or any other reason, Nasdaq may issue a determination letter to delist our shares of Common Stock pursuant to its discretionary authority under Listing Rule 5101. In that event, even if we were to timely request a hearing with respect to Nasdaq’s determination to delist our shares of Common Stock, Nasdaq may still impose an immediate halt on the trading of our shares of Common Stock pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 4120(a)(5) pending the outcome of such hearing. If trading in our shares of Common Stock were to be halted or if Nasdaq were to determine to delist our shares of Common Stock, investors in our securities could lose all or part of their investment and our ability to raise additional capital through the public or private sale of equity securities would be adversely affected.

Previous wording
On September 5, 2024, Nasdaq notified us that we had not regained compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement and that, as a result, unless we timely requested an appeal of this determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), Nasdaq would move to suspend trading of our common stock and to have our shares of common stock delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel, and the hearing was held on October 22, 2024. On October 30, 2024, Nasdaq provided us until March 4, 2025, to notify Nasdaq that we were in compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. On March 7, 2025, the Company received notification from Nasdaq that it had regained compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

Previous wording
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), we will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor until March 7, 2026. If the Staff finds we are again out of compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement before that date, we will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency and the Staff would not be permitted to grant additional time for us to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor would we be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period. Instead, the Staff would issue a “Delist Determination Letter” and we would have an opportunity to request a Nasdaq hearing panel regarding our continued listing. As disclosed in this Quarterly Report, our stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2025 was below the Minimum

Accordingly, we expect the Staff will issue a “Delist Determination Letter” and, once issued, we intend to request a hearing before a Nasdaq hearing panel regarding our continued listing with respect to the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
Previous wording
If we do not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by November 12, 2025, we may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other Nasdaq initial listing standards, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Requirement, and provide written notice of our intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Nasdaq staff determines that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible for such additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that our common stock will be subject to delisting. In the event we receive notice that our common stock is being delisted, Nasdaq rules permit us to appeal any delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff. Furthermore, any efforts we take to meet the Minimum Bid Requirement, including pursuing a reverse stock split, may not be sufficient.
