(the &#8220;Company&#8221;) received written notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (&#8220;Nasdaq&#8221;) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements <font style="Background-color:#FFFFFF;">set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the &#8220;Minimum Bid Price Requirement&#8221;). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum closing bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. On February 6, 2020, the Company received written notice that Nasdaq determined the Company was eligible for an additional 180-day extension, or until August 3, 2020, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. </font></p>

As a result, the new date by which the Company has to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement is October 19, 2020. </p>

To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company&#8217;s common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time prior to October 19, 2020. </font></p>
