Nasdaq has now determined that, for the last 10 consecutive business days, from August 3, 2026 to August 14, 2026, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was at or above $1.00 per share, and accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and the prior minimum bid price deficiency matter is now closed.

Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements could include changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions.
If any of these risks materialize or the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.
