(the "Company") received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, the Company did not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), requiring a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"), and was provided 180 calendar days, or until September 15, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Subsequently, on September 16, 2025, the Company was provided an additional 180-calendar day period, or until March 16, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (the "Second Grace Period"). On December 19, 2025, the Company received a notification letter (the "Letter") from the Staff that as of December 19, 2025, the Common Stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days and accordingly, the Company was subject to the provisions contemplated under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the "Low Priced Stocks Rule") and not eligible for the remainder of the Second Grace Period. The Letter advised that, since the Company did not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement within the Second Grace Period, the Common Stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market. Additionally, as previously disclosed, on December 11, 2025, the Staff notified the Company that it had failed to comply with Nasdaq's shareholder approval requirements set forth in Listing Rule 5635(d), which requires prior shareholder approval for transactions, other than public offerings, involving the issuance of 20% or more of the pre-transaction
