New in FY2025

  • If we fail to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, our common stock may be delisted and the price and liquidity of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.
  • We are required to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, including, among other things, maintaining a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share, or the Minimum Bid Requirement, or shares of our common stock may be subject to delisting, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
  • On May 12, 2025, we received a deficiency letter, or the Notice, from the Listing Qualifications Department, or the Staff, of Nasdaq indicating that we failed to comply with the Minimum Bid Requirement.
  • The Notice had no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock.
  • In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had an initial period of 180 calendar days (which expired on November 10, 2025) to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.
  • Thereafter, on November 11, 2025, we received a written notice from the Staff granting us an additional 180 calendar day compliance period (until May 11, 2026), or the Second Compliance Period, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.
  • We are actively monitoring the closing bid price of our common stock and continue to evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.
  • These options include, but are not limited to, effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, to attempt to regain compliance.
  • If at any time during the Second Compliance Period the closing bid price of our common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide us with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H).
  • We have provided written notice to Nasdaq of our intention to cure the deficiency during the Second Compliance Period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
  • To that end, on March 4, 2026, our Board of Directors unanimously approved and declared advisable an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or our Certificate of Incorporation, to effect a reverse stock split, or the Reverse Stock Split, of our issued shares of common stock at a ratio within the range of not less than 1-for-30 and not greater than 1-for-50 with the exact ratio within such range and the implementation and timing of such Reverse Split to be determined at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors.
  • The amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation is subject to the approval of our stockholders at our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or the 2026 Annual Meeting, to be held at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on April 13, 2026.
  • If the proposal to approve the amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split is approved by our stockholders at the 2026 Annual Meeting and our Board of Directors determines that the Reverse Stock Split would be in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders, our Board of Directors may determine to effect the Reverse Stock Split promptly after the 2026 Annual Meeting if such stockholder approval is received.
  • However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, whether by effecting the Reverse Stock Split or otherwise, or maintain compliance with other Nasdaq listing requirements.
  • If we fail to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, by effecting the Reverse Stock Split or otherwise, our common stock may be delisted.
  • This potential delisting, and any other potential delisting, of our common stock could have a material adverse effect on the market for, and liquidity and price of, our common stock and would adversely affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
  • Until such time as we are no longer a "smaller reporting company" with less than $100 million in annual revenue, and thereafter qualify as an accelerated filer or a large accelerated filer, our auditors will not be required to attest as to our internal control over financial reporting.

Sentence-level comparison of Item 1A in the two most recent 10-Ks (FY2024 ↗, FY2025 ↗). A reworded sentence counts as one dropped and one added, so heavy edits read as low “kept”. Headings and page furniture are stripped; nothing is summarised by a model.
