Item 8.01. Other Events
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on June 21, 2024, the Company received a deficiency notice (the "Notice") from the NYSE American LLC (the "NYSE American") advising the Company that it was not in compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the "Company Guide") requiring a company to have stockholders’ equity of at least $2.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years and Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide requiring a company to have stockholders’ equity of at least $4.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years.
The Company was required to submit a plan to the NYSE American by July 18, 2024 to the NYSE American outlining actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by December 18, 2025. The Company submitted a plan prior to the deadline.
On September 5, 2024, the Company received notice from the NYSE American that it had accepted the Company's plan and granted a plan period through December 18, 2025. During the plan period the Company will be subject to quarterly review to determine if it is making progress consistent with the plan. If the Company does not regain compliance with the NYSE American listing standards by December 18, 2025, or if the Company does not make sufficient progress consistent with its plan, then the NYSE American may initiate delisting proceedings.
On September 9, 2024 the Company issued a press release discussing the matter. A copy of the press release is included herewith as Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
