Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we fail to meet applicable continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), our common stock may be delisted. On September 3, 2024, we received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying us that, because the closing bid price for our common stock was below $1.00 for the prior 30 consecutive business days, we no longer met the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), requiring a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had a period of 180 calendar days from September 3, 2024, or until March 3, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On December 24, 2025, we announced that we had received written from the Nasdaq informing the us that we had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Even though we regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, we cannot assure that we will not, in the future, fail to comply with Nasdaq's requirements to maintain the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq, or that we will be able to regain compliance in the event of any such non-compliance. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may materially impair our stockholders' ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. The delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended ("JOBS Act"). As such, we are eligible to take, have taken, and intend to take, advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, including the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies, which may make our common stock less attractive to investors. In addition, if we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will no longer be able to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of at least $1.235 billion, (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (iii) the date on which we have, during the preceding three year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt, or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under the Exchange Act, which could occur if the market value of our common shares that are held by non-affiliates is $700 million or more as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. We are also a "smaller reporting company" as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies until the fiscal year following the determination that our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is $250 million or more as measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenues are less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is $700 million or more measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.
