13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On October 26, 2023, Nasdaq sent a notification letter (the “Delisting Letter”) notifying the Company that it has scheduled the Company’s securities for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s securities will be suspended at the opening of business on November 6, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Nasdaq’s Delisting Letter cited the Company’s continued non-compliance with its minimum bid price and stockholders’ equity rules as the reason for delisting the Company’s stock. However, the Delisting Letter clarified that pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 series, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). A hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. Upon paying the non-refundable $20,000 fee, the Company will have an opportunity to present a plan to regain compliance to the Panel. 

 

To that end, the Company has paid the $20,000 fee and has formally requested an oral hearing with Nasdaq. The hearing is scheduled for January 18, 2024. At the hearing the Company intends to present a compliance plan designed to bring its bid price and stockholders’ equity in compliance with the minimum amounts mandated by Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will approve of its compliance plan, or otherwise reverse its determination that the Company’s securities ought to be delisted.

 

Board Appointments

 

On October 12, 2023, the Board increased its size from five members to six members. It also appointed Ms. Jennifer Tan to serve as the sixth member of the Board on the same day. Ms. Tan will serve on the Board until the Company’s next annual stockholder meeting or until her successor has been duly appointed and qualified or until her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause. She will not serve on any of the committees of the Board. Ms. Tan brings over 30 years’ experience to the Board and has served as an executive leader for several countries within and outside the United States. Ms. Tan will not be compensated for her service on the Board.

 

There are no family relationships between Ms. Tan and any director or executive officer of the Company and she was not selected by the Board to serve as a director pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any person. Ms. Tan has not engaged in any transaction that would be reportable as a related party transaction under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

On October 18, 2023, the Company registered with the SEC a Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement (the “Form S-3”) from which it intends to offer and sell, from time to time, an aggregate amount of $20,000,000 of any combination of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, rights, warrants or units in one or more offerings. The Form S-3 was declared effective by the SEC on October 26, 2023 at 4:00 P.M. EST.
