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

On October 27, 2023, we received notification from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff that it has determined that the bid price of our Common Stock has closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, does not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). Further, the staff also noted that we effected an 1:35 reverse stock split on March 24, 2023, and an 1:40 reverse stock split on June 28, 2023. Because we effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, we will not be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the Rule pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv).

As a result, our Common Stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market. In that regard, unless we request an appeal of such determination, trading of our Common Stock will be suspended at the opening of business on November 7, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which will remove our Common Stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. We intend to request an appeal for such determination. During such appeal, our Common Stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
