In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(i), if the Company does not regain compliance by the Compliance Date, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify, the Company would need to transfer the listing of the Company’s common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market, provided the Company meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the Bid Price Requirement. To effect such a transfer, the Company would also need to pay an application fee to Nasdaq and provide written notice to the Staff of its intention to cure the deficiency during the additional compliance period. If the Company is not eligible or it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency during the additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide written notice to the Company that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist its securities. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination by the Staff, such appeal would be successful.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will take all reasonable measures available to the Company to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance for continued listing on Nasdaq.
