The notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Common Stock.
With regards to the average closing stock price deficiency, the Company can regain compliance at any time within the six-month period following receipt of the NYSE's non-compliance notice if, on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period, the Company has (i) a closing share price of at least $1.00 and (ii) an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. Under the NYSE’s listing rules, the price condition will be deemed cured if the price promptly exceeds $1.00 per share and the price remains above that level for at least the following 30 consecutive trading days.
The Company will notify the NYSE by January 23, 2025, that it intends to submit a plan by February 21, 2025, to cure the market capitalization, stockholder’s equity and average closing stock price deficiencies and to return to compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards.

The Common Stock will continue to be listed and trade on the NYSE, subject to the Company’s ongoing compliance with the NYSE's other continued listing standards.
