(the "Company") notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that the Company is currently not in compliance with Nasdaq's annual meeting requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) requires that each company listing common stock or preferred stock, and their equivalents, hold an annual meeting of stockholders within one year of the end of each fiscal year. As such, the Company was required to hold its 2024 annual meeting of the stockholders (the "2024 Annual Meeting") on or before December 31, 2024. The Company did not hold the 2024 Annual Meeting on or before December 31, 2024 and therefore, is not currently in compliance with Nasdaq's annual meeting requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a). The 2024 Annual Meeting is currently scheduled for February 7, 2025. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 On January 4, 2025, Ray Balestri, a current named director of the Company, passed away unexpectedly. Prior to his passing, Mr. Balestri also served as a member of the Company's Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee. On January 7, 2025, the Company notified Nasdaq that, as a result of Mr. Balestri's passing, the Company is no longer in compliance with certain Corporate Governance Requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), a majority of the board of directors of a listed company must be comprised of Independent Directors as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). With Mr. Balestri's passing, the Company's board of directors is currently comprised of only four members, Gust Kepler, Robert Winspear, Keller Reid and Dalya Sulaiman. Only two of the four, Mr. Reid and Ms. Sulaiman, qualify as Independent Directors as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 560
