NOTE 18 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Between January 9 and 12, 2023 Alpha Capital voluntarily converted $1,111,078 of its outstanding Senior Convertible Debenture principal into 841,726 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.32 per share.

 

On January 13, 2023, the Company’s board of directors, as part of certain cost-cutting measures, approved a temporary 20% reduction to the base salaries of all executive officers of the Company and a 20% reduction to the non-employee directors’ annual cash compensation. The Company also terminated the employment of certain employees, including its Senior Vice President/Chief Operating Officer and Vice President/Chief Scientific Officer.

 

The Company filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 on March 31, 2023, indicating that the filing of this Annual Report would be delayed on account of the Company and its registered public accounting firm requiring additional time to complete the accounting and disclosures related to the Company’s acquisition of a majority interest in NanoSynex, Ltd., which accounting and disclosures have been included in this Annual Report. On April 20, 2023, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that, as a result of the Company’s delay in filing this Annual Report, the Company was not in compliance with the timely filing requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The notification letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The notification letter stated that, under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar days, or until June 20, 2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. The Company may also regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements at any time before June 20, 2023, by filing this Annual Report with the SEC, as well as any subsequent periodic financial reports that may become due, and continuing to comply with Nasdaq’s other continued listing requirements. The filing of this Annual Report was the Company’s action to regain compliance.
