Item 3.01. |
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On November 14, 2023, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based on the Company’s stockholders’ equity of $332,000 as of September 30, 2023, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, it is no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million. The Company has until December 29, 2023 to provide Nasdaq with a specific plan to achieve and sustain compliance with the foregoing listing requirement. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the letter for the Company to evidence compliance.
The Company is presently evaluating various courses of action to regain compliance and intends to timely submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s plan will be accepted or that if it is, the Company will be able to regain compliance and maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is not accepted or if Nasdaq does not grant an extension and the Company does not regain compliance within the requisite time period, or if the Company fails to satisfy another Nasdaq requirement for continued listing, Nasdaq could provide notice that the Company’s securities will become subject to delisting.
