| Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On August 20, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the periodic financial report filing requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of the Company's delay in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, by the applicable due date.
As previously disclosed, the Company has determined that it is necessary to re-evaluate the Company’s accounting treatment for the warrants that it issued as part of a financing it completed in October 2022 and expects to restate its previously issued (i) audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, contained in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K and (ii) unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ending March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, and March 31, 2024, contained in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (the “Previously Issued Statements”). Restating and filing the Previously Issued Statements must be completed prior to filing the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The Company expects the process of restating and filing the Previously Issued Statements will require approximately six weeks to complete, immediately after which it expects to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the continued listing status of the Company’s common stock, which remains listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
| Item 7.01. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
On August 23, 2024, we issued a press release announcing that we will be restating certain historical financial statements and that we received the Notice from the Nasdaq. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
