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

 

On July 16, 2024, the Company received notification (the “Acceptance Letter”) from the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) that the Company’s previously-submitted plan to regain compliance with the NYSE American’s listing standards (the “Plan”) was accepted. In the Acceptance Letter, the NYSE American granted the Company until October 23, 2025 (the “Plan Period”) to regain compliance with the continued listing standards.

 

As previously disclosed, on April 23, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter from the NYSE American indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”).

 

During the Plan Period, the Company will be subject to periodic review by the NYSE American on its progress with the goals and initiatives outlined in the Plan. The Company intends to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide during the Plan Period. If the Company does not regain compliance with the NYSE American listing standards by October 25, 2025, or if the Company does not make sufficient progress consistent with the Plan during the Plan Period, then NYSE American may initiate delisting proceedings.

 

The Acceptance Letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE American during the Plan Period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of the NYSE American. The Acceptance Letter does not affect the Company’s ongoing business operations or its reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

The Company can provide no assurances that it will be able to make progress with respect to the Plan that the NYSE American will determine to be satisfactory, that it will regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide on or before the expiration of the Plan Period, or that developments and events occurring subsequent to the Company’s formulation of the Plan or its acceptance by the NYSE American will not adversely affect the Company’s ability to make sufficient progress and/or regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide on or before the expiration of the Plan Period or result in the Company’s failure to be in compliance with other NYSE American continued listing standards.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On July 18, 2024, in accordance with the NYSE American’s procedures, the Company issued a press release discussing the matters disclosed in Item 3.01 above. A copy of the press release is included herewith as Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
