Holders As of December 31, 2023, there were 114 holders of record of our common stock and 10 holders of record of our warrants.
Added
On September 11, 2024, the Staff notified the Company that the bid price of its common stock had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(1).
Removed
In addition to holders of record of our securities we believe, based on Company records, that there are over 6,000 brokerage accounts representing “street name” holders or beneficial holders whose shares and warrants are held of record by banks, brokers and other financial institutions.
Added
Therefore, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days to regain compliance with such rule.
Removed
Dividends We have not paid any cash dividends on our shares of common stock to date and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition as well as general business conditions.
Added
As reported on form 8-K filed on November 1, 2024, on October 28, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that based upon its review of the Company’s Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer met the minimum requirement of $5,000,000 in MVPHS set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C).
Removed
The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion of the Board at such time.

However, under the Listing Rules, the Company was provided a 180-calendar day grace period to regain compliance. If at any time during the compliance period the Company’s MVPHS closed at $5,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq would provide written confirmation of compliance and the matter would be closed.

If the Company’s securities are delisted from Nasdaq, it could be more difficult to buy and sell the Company’s common stock and warrants or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of the Company’s common stock and warrants could suffer a material decline.

Further, there is no guarantee that we will be able to maintain our listing for any period of time. Delisting from Nasdaq could also result in negative publicity.
Added
Further, if we are delisted, we would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities.

Added
If our common stock or warrants are delisted by Nasdaq, our common stock or warrants may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB Market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock or warrants.

Added
Each Woodford Warrant has an exercise price equal to the average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock for each of the ten days prior to the first amount being debited from the bank account of Woodford, which equates to an exercise price of $5.60 per share.
Added
In the event the Company fails to repay the amounts borrowed when due or Woodford fails to convert the amount owed into shares, the exercise price of the warrants may be offset by amounts owed to Woodford, and in such case, the exercise price of the warrants will be subject to a further 25% discount. 61 In connection with our entry into the Woodford Loan Agreement, the Company also entered into a Loan Agreement Deed, Debenture Deed and Securitization, with Woodford (the “Security Agreement”), which provides Woodford with a first floating charge security interest over all present and future assets of the Company in order to secure the repayment of amounts owed under the Loan Agreement.

Nasdaq Listing On March 23, 2023, the Company requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal a determination by the Listing Qualifications department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq dated February 23, 2023, to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq.
Removed
At the hearing before the Panel on April 24, 2023, the Company presented its plan to complete the restatement of its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and the subsequent quarter ended March 31, 2022, and to file the amended periodic reports and all subsequent required filings with the SEC.
Removed
The Company requested the continued listing of its securities on Nasdaq pending the completion of its compliance plan.
Removed
By letter dated May 8, 2023, the Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing, on an interim basis, subject to the Company submitting financial projections for fiscal 2023 and filing the restated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and quarter ended March 31, 2022, with the SEC by May 15, 2023.

Removed
By letter dated May 24, 2023, the Panel notified the Company that it had determined to suspend trading and otherwise move to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq effective with the open of the market on May 26, 2023.
Removed
The Company’s securities were suspended from trading on that date but the securities were not delisted because the Company thereafter requested that the Panel reconsider its determination to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq based upon what the Company believed to be mistakes of material fact upon which the Panel had based its decision.
Removed
On June 8, 2023, the Panel notified the Company that it had determined to reverse its prior decision and grant the Company’s request for continued listing subject to the Company’s timely compliance with a number of conditions ultimately expiring on August 17, 2023, on which date the Company must satisfy all applicable criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq (the “June 8 th Decision”).

Moreover, there are other requirements to be met in order to maintain our continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market.
Removed
These requirements include requiring that the Company maintain at least $10 million in stockholders’ equity, $50 million of market value of listed securities (which requirement is not currently met), or $50 million in total assets and total revenue over the prior two years or two of the prior three years (which requirement is not currently met) and having a majority of independent directors.

As reported on form 8-K filed on December 7, 2023, on November 29, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that based upon its review of the Company’s Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer met the minimum requirement of $5,000,000 set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C).
Removed
However, under the Listing Rules, the Company was provided a 180-calendar day grace period to regain compliance, through May 28, 2024. If at any time during the compliance period the Company’s MVPHS closes at $5,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.
Removed
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the rule prior to the expiration of the compliance period, the Company will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting.
Removed
As of the date of this Report, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet the MVPHS requirements for a minimum period of ten consecutive business days through May 28, 2024, or be able to remain in full compliance with all applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.

If the Company’s securities are delisted from Nasdaq, it could be more difficult to buy and sell the Company’s common stock and warrants or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of the Company’s common stock and warrants could suffer a material decline.
Removed
Delisting could also impair the Company’s ability to raise capital and/or trigger defaults and penalties under its outstanding agreements or securities. Further, even if we regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, there is no guarantee that we will be able to maintain our listing for any period of time. Delisting from Nasdaq could also result in negative publicity.
Removed
Further, if we are delisted, we would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and/or warrants and the ability of our stockholders to sell our common stock and/or warrants in the secondary market.
Removed
If our common stock and/or warrants are delisted by Nasdaq, our common stock and/or warrants may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB Market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock and/or warrants.
Removed
In the event our common stock and/or warrants are delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market, we may not be able to list our common stock and/or warrants on another national securities exchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system.

Each Woodford Warrant has an exercise price equal to the average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock for each of the ten days prior to the first amount being debited from the bank account of Woodford, which equates to an exercise price of $5.60 per share.
Removed
In the event the Company fails to repay the amounts borrowed when due or Woodford fails to convert the amount owed into shares, the exercise price of the warrants may be offset by amounts owed to Woodford, and in such case, the exercise price of the warrants will be subject to a further 25% discount. 56 In connection with our entry into the Woodford Loan Agreement, the Company also entered into a Loan Agreement Deed, Debenture Deed and Securitization, with Woodford (the “Security Agreement”), which provides Woodford with a first floating charge security interest over all present and future assets of the Company in order to secure the repayment of amounts owed under the Loan Agreement.
Removed
The floating charge may be converted into a fixed charge upon the occurrence of certain events including: an event of default; if Woodford reasonably believes that any secured property may be in jeopardy or danger of being seized or sold; or if Woodford reasonably considers that it is desirable to protect its security interest.
