Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule.

On December 19, 2023, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the minimum closing bid price per share for its common stock was below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days and that the Company did not meet the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). The letter does not have any immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until June 17, 2024 (the “Bid Price Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the Bid Price Compliance Period, the closing bid price per share of the Company's common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company a written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance by June 17, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company will 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 will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to the expiration of the second compliance period.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule within the Bid Price Compliance Period and is not eligible for an additional compliance period at that time, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal the Staff’s determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. There can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, that such appeal would be successful.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, which could include effecting a reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
