| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
As previously disclosed, on March 16, 2026, the Company received a letter (the "Minimum Bid Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC ( "Nasdaq") notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for its common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, it no longer complied with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement") and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Nasdaq provided the Company with 180 days, or until September 14, 2026, to regarding compliance (the "Compliance Deadline").
As of September 15, 2026, the Company had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. As such, on September 15, 2026, the Company received a new letter (the "Delisting Notice") from Nasdaq notifying the Company that, as a result of the Company's failure to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the Compliance Deadline, Nasdaq has determined to delist the Company's common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. Furthermore, Nasdaq informed the Company that it is not eligible for a second 180-day period to regain compliance because the Company lacks the stockholders' equity required to meet the initial listing standards.
The Delisting Notice stated that the common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") by September 22, 2026. Accordingly, the Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Panel, and at which point, such timely request will automatically stay any further suspension or delisting action by Nasdaq pending the Panel's decision. During the appeal process with the Panel, the common stock will continue to be listed and trade on Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing or that the Company will be able to regain compliance and thereafter maintain its listing on Nasdaq. In connection with the Delisting Notice, the Company has remitted the requisite hearing request fee and intends to formally request a hearing before the Panel to appeal the determination.
Further, as previously disclosed, on September 14, 2026 the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a one-for-ten (1-for-10) reverse split of its outstanding shares of common stock (the "Reverse Split"). The Reverse Split became effective as of 12:01 a.m. on September 14, 2026 (the "Effective Date"). Since the Effective Date, the Company's common stock has been trading above the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. There can be no assurance that the common stock will continue to trade above the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
