NASDAQ has informed the Company that it has until May 8, 2023 to submit a plan to regain compliance with respect to this delinquent report.

The Company is working diligently to complete the Form 10-Q. If the Company is unable to file the Form 10-Q by May 8, 2023, it intends to file a plan to regain compliance with NASDAQ. This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's securities on NASDAQ.
