Current report

The Company has received notification from the NYSE American LLC that the Company is no longer in compliance with NYSE American’s continued listing standards and has submitted a Plan to the NYSE American to regain compliance; in the event the NYSE American does not accept the Plan or we do not ultimately regain compliance, our securities could ultimately be delisted from the NYSE American.

Current report

On June 5, 2024, we received notification (the “Notice”) from the NYSE American that the Company is no longer in compliance with NYSE American’s continued listing standards. Specifically, the letter states that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide. Section 1003(a)(ii) requires a listed company to have stockholders’ equity of $4 million or more if the listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. The Company reported stockholders equity of $3.1 million as of March 31, 2024, and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years ended September 30, 2023. The Company submitted a plan of compliance (the “Plan”) on July 5, 2024 addressing how it intends to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by December 5, 2025 and we expect a response from the NYSE American in mid August 2024. If the NYSE American accepts the Company’s Plan, the Company will be able to continue its listing during the Plan period and will be subject to continued periodic review by the NYSE American staff. If the Plan is not accepted, or is accepted but the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by December 5, 2025 or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the Plan period, the Company will be subject to delisting procedures as set forth in the NYSE American Company Guide. The Company is committed to undertaking a transaction or transactions in the future to achieve compliance with the NYSE American’s requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards within the required timeframe.

Current report

While the Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE American during this period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of the NYSE American, if the Common Stock and Preferred Stock ultimately were to be delisted for any reason, it could negatively impact the Company by (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of the Company’s Common Stock and Preferred Stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Common Stock and Preferred Stock, which could negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting the Company’s ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing the Company from accessing the public capital markets; and (iv) triggering an event of default under the Company’s outstanding Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes.
