Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard from the NYSE American
On November 5, 2024, the Company received notice from NYSE American that NYSE American had halted trading in the shares of the Common Stock until the effectiveness of the reverse stock split the Company intended to effect because its common stock was consistently selling at a low selling price per share in violation of Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide. NYSE American informed the Company that it would attempt to reopen trading in the Common Stock on November 15, 2024, which is when the common stock is expected to begin trading on a post-split basis, provided that NYSE American no longer deems the selling price of the Common Stock to be too low.
Reverse Stock Split
On November 14, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a Reverse Stock Split; once effective, every twenty (20) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will automatically be converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. In addition, (i) a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, to the extent that the exercise price of such warrants is not based solely on the market price of the common stock at the time of exercise, (ii) a proportionate adjustment will be made to any fixed conversion prices for other convertible securities of the Company, including any conversion floor prices and (iii) the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans will also be reduced proportionately. Any fraction of a share of common stock that would be created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 14, 2024, and the Company’s common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on November 15, 2024.
