Item 8.01 – Other Events.

On August 29, 2023, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Amendment to effect a one-time reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio of 1-for-25 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, after the close of trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, on August 29, 2024 (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, every 25 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. Any stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of common stock created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split was entitled to rounding up of the fractional share to the nearest whole number. On September 10, 2024, Computershare, Inc., the Company's exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split, informed the Company that it has a total of 1,248,266 shares outstanding following the Reverse Stock Split.
