The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until April 10, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.
Since then, Nasdaq has determined that for 10 consecutive business days, from March 1, 2024 through March 14, 2024, the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares has been at $1.00 per share or greater.
