Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued
Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on December 27, 2023,
the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market
LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that since the Company has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023 (the
“Form 10-Q”), the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”), which requires
the Company to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5810-1(c)(2)(A)(v), the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance with the Rule (the “Plan”).
On May 20, 2024, the Company received a written
notice (the “Notice”) indicating that the Staff determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq, unless the
Company timely requests a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), based on the Staff’s determination that the
Staff only has discretion to grant an extension until May 20, 2024. The Staff noted that, in addition to the Company’s Form 10-Q
for the period ended September 30, 2023, its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023 and its Form 10-Q for the period ended March
31, 2024 were also delinquent pursuant to the Rule.
Accordingly, the Company
intends to timely request (the “Request”) a hearing before the Panel. The hearing request will stay the suspension of the
Company’s securities with Nasdaq only for a period of 15 days pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a)(1)(B) (the “Stay Rule”).
The Company, pursuant to the Stay Rule, intends to include in its Request a stay of the suspension pending the hearing. Nasdaq’s
notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, units or warrants on Nasdaq. The time and place of
any hearing before the Panel will be determined by the Panel. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s
request for continued stay or continued listing.
