In a separate letter, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department recognized the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended April 1, 2023 on October 16, 2023, and notified the Company it had regained compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule with respect to the Form 10-Q for the period ended April 1, 2023.

The Company plans to request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which will automatically stay any trading suspension or delisting action for an additional 15 calendar days following the date of the request; however, Nasdaq has a procedure to request an extension of the stay through the hearing date and the expiration of any extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. In connection with the hearing request, the Company will request that the stay be extended through the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing.
