Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously disclosed, on January 31, 2025, the Company received a delist determination letter from Nasdaq advising the Company that Nasdaq had determined that the Company did not meet the terms of the extension.

On February 7, 2025, the Company submitted an appeal to Nasdaq requesting a hearing before the Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set in the 5800 Series of the Rules. The Company intends to present to the Panel its plan to regain and thereafter maintain compliance with all applicable listing requirements. The hearing request stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. In connection with the hearing request, the Company submitted the payment of a fee in the amount of $20,000.00 payable to Nasdaq. Although the Company will use all reasonable efforts to regain compliance with the Rule, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with that rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
