Risk Change Over Time
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1If we are unable to maintain compliance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and could make it more difficult for you shareholders to sell your their shares.
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and we are therefore subject to its continued listing requirements, including requirements with respect to the market value of publicly-held shares, market value of listed shares, minimum bid price per share, and minimum stockholder's equity, among others, and requirements relating to board and committee independence. If we fail to satisfy one or more of the requirements, we may be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market. On September 12, 2024, we received a letter from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying us that for the previous 30 consecutive business days our common stock had not maintained a closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement") required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Normally, a company would be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), we were not eligible for any compliance period specified in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) because we effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one. We requested a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the "Panel"), but prior to such hearing, on October 30, 2024 the Panel provided us a temporary exception to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement until March 11, 2025. The Panel noted that it reserves the right to reconsider the terms of this exception based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the Panel, make continued listing of our securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted. The Panel notification advised us that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council may, on its own motion, determine to review any Panel decision within 45 calendar days after issuance of the written decision. If the Listing Council determines to review the Panel's decision in our matter, it may affirm, modify, reverse, dismiss or remand the decision to the Panel. We were previously not in compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b) (the "Equity Requirement"). On September 10, 2024, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Office of General Counsel that we had demonstrated compliance with the Equity Requirement and that the matter is closed. According to the letter, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), we are subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year from the date of the letter. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Staff finds us again out of compliance with the Equity Requirement, notwithstanding Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), we will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency and Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for us to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor will we be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter and we will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. We will have the opportunity to respond/present to the Hearings Panel as provided by Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C). Our common stock may be at that time delisted from Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that we will continue to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market and could be subject to delisting at a future time. Delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market would adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities, may significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and may negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock. Delisting also could have other negative results, including the potential loss of employee confidence, the loss of institutional investors or interest in business development opportunities.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 36
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Our current stockholders' ownership may be diluted if additional capital stock is issued to raise capital, to finance acquisitions or in connection with strategic transactions.
We intend to seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, which would reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Our board of directors has the authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, to issue all or any part of our authorized but unissued shares of common or preferred stock. Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Future issuances of common or preferred stock would reduce your influence over matters on which stockholders vote and would be dilutive to earnings per share. In addition, any newly issued preferred stock could have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of the common stock. Those rights, preferences, and privileges could include, among other things, the establishment of dividends that must be paid prior to declaring or paying dividends or other distributions to holders of our common stock or providing for preferential liquidation rights. These rights, preferences and privileges could negatively affect the rights of holders of our common stock, and the right to convert such preferred stock into shares of our common stock at a rate or price that would have a dilutive effect on the outstanding shares of our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2We have in the past been unable to maintain compliance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, and any future failure to maintain compliance could subject our common stock to be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and could make it more difficult for you to sell your shares.
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and we are therefore subject to its continued listing requirements, including requirements with respect to the market value of publicly-held shares, market value of listed shares, minimum bid price per share, and minimum stockholder's equity, among others, and requirements relating to board and committee independence. If we fail to satisfy one or more of the requirements, we may be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market. During 2024, we experienced compliance deficiencies with respect to the requirement to maintain a closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement") pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b) (the "Equity Requirement"). We have since remedied these deficiencies and, as of the date of this filing, we are in compliance with all applicable Nasdaq listing requirements. Although we are currently in compliance with all applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, there can be no assurance that we will continue to meet such requirements in the future, and we could be subject to delisting at a future time. Delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market would adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities, may significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and may negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock. Delisting also could have other negative results, including the potential loss of employee confidence, the loss of institutional investors or interest in business development opportunities.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3We may be required to repurchase certain of our warrants upon a fundamental transaction, which may prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us.
Certain of our warrants to purchase common stock provide that in the event of a "Fundamental Transaction" (as defined in the related warrant agreement, which generally includes any merger with another entity, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets to another entity, or the acquisition by a person of more than 50% of our common stock), each warrant holder will have the right at any time prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction to require us to repurchase the warrant for a purchase price in cash equal to the Black-Scholes value (as calculated under the warrant agreement) of the then remaining unexercised portion of such common warrant on the date of such Fundamental Transaction, which may materially adversely affect our financial condition and/or results of operations and may prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our common stock, then our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us, our industry and our market. If no analyst elects to cover us and publish research or reports about us, the market for our common stock could be severely limited and our stock price could be adversely affected. As a small-cap company, we are more likely than our larger competitors to lack coverage from securities analysts. In addition, even if we receive analyst coverage, if one or more analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. If one or more analysts who elect to cover us issue negative reports or adversely change their recommendations regarding our common stock, our stock price could decline.
