Item 3.01 Failure to Comply with a Continued Listing Requirement.

 

On January 31, 2022, the Company received a deficiency notification from Nasdaq regarding the issuance of shares of its common stock to the sellers in closing of the January 10, 2022 Medigap acquisition, which Nasdaq determined to aggregate with its shares of common stock issued in the Company’s January 6, 2022 private placement in violation of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a). This rule requires an issuer to obtain shareholder approval with respect to an acquisition paid for from the proceeds of a sale of common stock of the issuer which equals or exceeds 20% of the shares of the issuer, issued and outstanding prior to the acquisition. The Company has 45 days from the date of the letter to submit a plan of compliance, and the Company is confident that it will submit a plan which will meet Nasdaq’s requirements as to meeting the aforesaid continued listing criteria.
