+Added: The transfer of our common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market would result in a fundamental change under the indenture governing the 2025 Notes, which could negatively impact our financial condition.
+Added: On September 16, 2024, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that, for the last 32 consecutive business days, the bid price of our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Select Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Rule”).
+Added: The deficiency letter does not result in the immediate delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

+Added: As a result, we may not be able to sustain compliance with the Bid Price Rule in the long term.
