(~~ the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the period from November 25, 2025 to January 20, 2026, the Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) for the Company was below the $50 million minimum MVLS requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Rule”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company had a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until July 21, 2026, to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule.

In the event that the Company does not regain compliance with the MLVS Rule during the Compliance Period, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Nasdaq rules permit the Company an opportunity to appeal Nasdaq’s determination. Alternatively, the Company may be eligible to transfer the listing of its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Capital Market”), provided that the Company then satisfies the requirements for continued listing on the Capital Market.

The Company is currently evaluating options to regain compliance and intends to timely regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. Although the Company will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with the MVLS Rule, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq continued listing requirement.
