The letter was pursuant to a previous letter received on September 26, 2024 from Nasdaq Staff indicating, as previously reported, that the Company was not then in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement because the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, had failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 or more for 30 consecutive business days.
