Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
The risk factors under
Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 are
hereby supplemented with the following additional risk factor:
Our common stock trades at
prices less than $1.00 which is the minimum bid price requirement under
Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, as such our common stock may be subject
to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
On June 20, 2024, we received a
letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”)
of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) informing us that because the closing bid
price for the Company’s common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive
trading days, we are not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement
for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq
Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The last
reported closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August
13, 2024 was $0.6411 per share and has been below the $1.00 closing bid price
since May 6, 2024. In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we
have a period of 180 calendar days from June 20, 2024, or until December 17,
2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any
time before December 17, 2024, the closing bid price of our common stock closes
at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days (which
number days may be extended by Nasdaq), Nasdaq will provide written
notification that we have achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price
Requirement, and the matter would be resolved. If compliance is not achieved
within the 180-day period, Nasdaq would provide written notification to us that
our common stock is subject to delisting. In the event that we fail to regain
compliance with Nasdaq continued listing standards by the expiration of the
applicable cure period or any extension period, Nasdaq will commence suspension
and delisting procedures with respect to our common stock, which could impair
the value of your investment.
If our common stock is delisted
from Nasdaq Capital Market in the future, such securities may be traded on the
over-the-counter markets. Such alternative markets, however, are generally
considered to be less efficient than, and not as broad as, Nasdaq. Accordingly,
delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could have a significant negative
effect on the trading volume, liquidity and market price of our common stock.
In addition, the delisting of our common stock could adversely affect our
ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all and could reduce
the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock.
