Current report

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. For a further discussion of our Risk Factors, refer to Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Current report

There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq. If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of the Nasdaq Capital Markets, Nasdaq could delist our common stock.

Current report

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum market value, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements.

Current report

On October 9, 2024, we received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC, notifying us that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as the minimum bid price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, from August 26, 2024 to October 7, 2024.

Current report

We may not be in a position to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or remain in compliance with any other listing requirements or standards.

Current report

If Nasdaq delists our common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

Current report

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” To the extent our common stock are listed on Nasdaq, they are covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

Current report

Upon delisting from Nasdaq, our common stock may be traded, if at all, in the over-the-counter inter-dealer quotation system, more commonly known as the OTC. OTC transactions involve risks in addition to those associated with transactions in securities traded on securities exchanges such as Nasdaq. Many OTC stocks trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than exchange-listed stocks. Accordingly, our stock would be less liquid than it would be otherwise. Also, the values of OTC stocks are often more volatile than exchange-listed stocks. Additionally, institutional investors are often prohibited from investing in OTC stocks, and it might be more challenging to raise capital when needed.

Current report

In addition, if our common stock is delisted, your ability to transfer or sell your shares of our common stock may be limited and the value of those securities will be materially adversely affected.
