Accordingly, unless the Company timely requests an appeal, trading of the Company's common stock and warrants will be suspended at the opening of business on October 25, 2024 and a Form 25 Notification of Delisting will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company's securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.
