NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCES

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as set forth below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 
On October 25, 2024, Arena Special Opportunities Fund, LP and other related entities (“Arena”) filed a lawsuit in New York State Court (the “Action”). The complaint for the lawsuit alleges, among other things, a purported breach of contract based on an alleged equity conditions failure. The Company believes that the Action lacks merit. In the event this Action is not summarily dismissed, the Company intends to vigorously defend against it.

As previously reported by (‘‘the Company’’), on September 13, 2024, the Company received written notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Listing Qualification Department (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), as the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Notice indicated that the Company has 180 calendar days, or until March 12, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

On March 13, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that although the Company has not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Company is eligible to receive an additional 180 calendar day period or until September 8, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(a)(3)(A).

Nasdaq’s determination to grant the Company an additional 180 calendar day period was based on the Company’s satisfaction of the continued listing requirements for the market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Additionally, the Company has provided Nasdaq with written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, potentially by implementing a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If, at any time during this additional compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance, and this matter will be closed. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by September 8, 2025, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

The Company is currently monitoring the closing bid price of its common stock and will consider available options, including a reverse stock split, if appropriate, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by September 8, 2025. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, even if it maintains compliance with other listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
