- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against us, our officers and directors and the foreign persons named in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in the United States or in foreign countries, or to assert U.S. securities laws claims in foreign countries or serve process on our officers and directors and these experts.
While we are incorporated in the State of Nevada, currently a majority of our directors and executive officers are not residents of the United States, and the foreign persons named in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are located outside of the United States. The majority of our assets are located outside the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to enforce a U.S. court judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us or any of these persons in a U.S. or foreign court, or to effect service of process upon these persons in the United States. Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in foreign countries in which we operate. Foreign courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws on the grounds that foreign countries are not necessary the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. Even if a foreign court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that foreign law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by foreign countries law. There is little binding case law in foreign countries addressing the matters described above.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2We may fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, such that our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.
Our common stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We must satisfy Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum closing bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). If a company trades for 30 consecutive business days below the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement, Nasdaq will send a deficiency notice to the company advising that it has been afforded a "compliance period" of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the applicable requirements. We received such a notice on September 27, 2023 and thus risk delisting unless we are able to regain compliance in a timely fashion. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, we were provided an initial period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The initial compliance period ended on March 25, 2024 and we did not evidence compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the initial compliance period. On March 26, 2024, we received a new letter from the Staff stating that it had determined to grant the Company an extension through September 23, 2024 to evidence compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before September 23, 2024, the closing bid price of our common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written notification that we have achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the common stock will continue to be eligible for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If, however, compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement cannot be demonstrated by September 23, 2024, the Staff will provide written notification that our common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, we may appeal the Staff's delisting determination to a Panel. There can be no assurance that, if we do appeal the Staff's delisting determination to the Panel, such appeal would be successful. There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, that we will maintain compliant with other Nasdaq listing requirements or that we will be granted a second compliance period. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, employees and fewer business development opportunities.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing stockholders.
Our articles of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 145,833,334 shares of our common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Our Board of Directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more companies or products and to fund our overhead and general operating requirements. The issuance of any such shares will reduce the book value per share and may contribute to a reduction in the market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current stockholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our company.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Our stock price and trading volume may be volatile, which could result in losses for our stockholders.
The equity trading markets have recently experienced high volatility resulting in highly variable and unpredictable pricing of equity securities. If the turmoil in the equity trading markets continues, the market for our common stock could change in ways that may not be related to our business, our industry or our operating performance and financial condition. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our common stock include: - actual or anticipated quarterly variations in our operating results; - changes in expectations as to our future financial performance or changes in financial estimates, if any; - announcements relating to our business; - conditions generally affecting the biotechnology industry; - the success of our operating strategy; and - the operating and stock performance of other comparable companies. Many of these factors are beyond our control, and we cannot predict their potential effects on the price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. During the 52 weeks ended December 31, 2023, our stock price has fluctuated from a low of $1.23 to a high of $3.74. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock. No assurance can be provided that a purchaser of our common stock will be able to resell their shares of common stock at or above the price that they acquired those shares. We can provide no assurances that the market price of common stock will increase or that the market price of common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly.
