Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 11, 2023, the Company timely submitted its plan (“Compliance Plan”) to the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). As previously disclosed, on March 27, 2023, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Staff notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

The Compliance Plan is currently under review by the Nasdaq Staff. If the Compliance Plan is acceptable to Nasdaq, they may grant an extension of 180 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq notification to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. If Nasdaq does not accept the Compliance Plan, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written notification that the Compliance Plan has been rejected. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
