Failure to Satisfy Listing Rule Form 8 K

On September 19, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the bid price for the Company's common stock had closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, and that the Company is therefore not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock.

The Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until March 18, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If, at any time before March 18, 2025, the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

The letter also disclosed that in the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by March 18, 2025, the Company may be eligible for additional time. To qualify for additional time, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the Staff would notify the Company that its securities would be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Company may appeal the Staff's determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance the Staff would grant the Company's request for continued listing.

The Company intends to continue actively monitoring the bid price for its common stock between now and March 18, 2025, and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
