Also as previously disclosed, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) issued its decision granting the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market subject to the Company’s filing all of the Periodic Reports with the SEC by no later than February 28, 2020. The Company timely updated the Panel with respect to its compliance plan as requested by the Staff.

On November 20, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the delinquency notification letter. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
