daq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Filing Rule”), as previously notified by the Staff on April 3, 2025, May 21, 2025 and August 20, 2025. The basis for the Staff Determination Letter was that the Company had not yet filed its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 (the “Q2 Delayed Report”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company filed its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”) on September 19, 2025 and is actively working towards the filing of the Q2 Delayed Report and the timely filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025 to ensure full compliance with the Listing Rules.

The Staff Determination Letter noted that, after the Staff’s review of the materials submitted by the Company on September 4, 2025 and September 19, 2025 (the “Updated Plan of Compliance”), it lacked the discretion within Nasdaq’s rules to grant the Company a further exception beyond the September 29, 2025 deadline that was previously granted to regain compliance with the Filing Rule. The Staff Determination Letter has no immediate effect and will not immediately result in the suspension of trading or delisting of the Company’s securities.

 The Staff Determination Letter notified the Company that it may request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (“Hearings Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. A request for a hearing regarding one or more delinquent filings will automatically stay the suspension of the Company’s securities for a period of at least 15 calendar days from the date of the hearing request. By Nasdaq rule, when a company requests a hearing for one or more late SEC periodic public filings, it must also request an extension of the stay through the hearing date and subsequently during any additional extension period granted by a Hearings Panel following the hearing. Hearings are typically scheduled to occur approximately 30-45 days after the date of the hearing request. The Company timely submitted a request for a hearing on October 8, 2025, including continued listing of its securities pending the hearing and the Hearings Panel’s decision. 

There can be no assurance that the Hearings Panel will grant
