Special Shareholder Meeting

 

On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, the Company held its special meeting of stockholders. Set forth below are each of the three proposals that were voted on at the Special Meeting and the stockholder votes on each such proposal, as certified by the inspector of elections for the Special Meeting. These proposals are described in further detail in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A that the Company filed with the SEC on March 4, 2025.

 

Proposal One: Approval of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our capital stock that we may issue from 210,000,000 shares to 5,010,000,000 shares, of which 5,000,000,000 shares shall be classified as Common Stock. The proposal was not approved.

 

Proposal Two: Approval of a proposal to authorize the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), in its sole and absolute discretion, and without further action of the stockholders, to file an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding Common Stock at a ratio to be determined by the Board, ranging from one-for-five (1:5) to one-for-one hundred (1:100), with such reverse stock split to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, but no later than April 1, 2026, when the authority granted in this proposal to implement the reverse stock split would terminate. The proposal was approved.

 

Proposal Three: Authorization, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq listing rule 5635(d), of the issuance of Series A Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Series A Warrants”) and Series B Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Series B Warrants” and collectively with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”), shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants and certain provisions of the Warrants, issued in connection with an offering and sale of securities of the Company that was consummated on February 14, 2025. The proposal was approved

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On May 6, 2025, the Company, acting pursuant to authority received at an annual meeting of its stockholders on December 17, 2024, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada the Charter Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, which effected a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of all of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Charter Amendment, the Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on May 6, 2025. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every twenty (20) shares of Common Stock were exchanged for one (1) share of Common Stock. The Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis at the start of trading on May 7, 2025. The Reverse Stock Split did not affect the total number of shares of capital stock, including the Common Stock, that the Company is authorized to issue, which remain as set forth pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation. No fractional shares of Common Stock were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise were entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock were automatically entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of Common Stock to round up to the next whole share, at a participant level. The Reverse Stock Split also had a proportionate effect on all other options and warrants of the Company outstanding as of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split was effective as of the time of this filing.

 

Notices of Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule

 

Minimum Bid Price Requirement - December 20, 2024, the Company received a written notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), as the Company’s closing bid price for its Common Stock was below $1.00 per share for the prior thirty (30) consecutive business days. The Company has been granted a 180-calendar day compliance period, or until June 18, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If the Company is not in compliance by June 18, 2025, the Company may be afforded a second 180-calendar day compliance period. If the Company does not regain compliance within such compliance period, including any granted extensions, its Common Stock may be subject to delisting, which delisting may be appealed to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

 

Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Standard - On January 2, 2025, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq, which indicated that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”), as the Company’s stockholders’ equity of ($2,448,310), as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024, was below the required minimum of $2.5 million, and the Company did not meet either the alternative compliance standards relating to market value of listed securities of at least $35 million or net income from continuing operations of at least $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.

 

 

Under Nasdaq listing rules and as specified in the Notice, the Company has 45 calendar days from the date of the Notice to submit to the Staff a plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice for the Company to evidence compliance.

 

The Company submitted its plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement on February 17, 2025. There can be no assurance that the Company’s plan will be accepted or that if it is, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Common Stock will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. At that time, the Company may appeal any such delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

 

Minimum Bid Price Requirement - On March 6, 2025, the Company received notice (the “March 6 Letter”) from the Nasdaq Staff that the Staff had determined that as of March 5, 2025, the Company’s securities had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days triggering application of Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) which states in part: if during any compliance period specified in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), a company’s security has a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days, the Listing Qualifications Department shall issue a Staff Delisting Determination under Rule 5810 with respect to that security (the “Low Priced Stocks Rule”). As a result, the Staff determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq, unless the Company timely requests an appeal of the Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. The Company must request a hearing no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 13, 2025.

 

The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel to appeal the March 6 Letter and to address all outstanding matters, including compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Low Priced Stocks Rule and the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, which hearing date has not been set as of the date of this Form 10-K. While the appeal process is pending, the suspension of trading of the Company’s Common Stock, will be stayed and the Common Stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision. The Company held its hearing with the Panel as scheduled on April 17, 2025.

 

On May 1, 2025, the Panel rendered its decision which granted the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Exchange. Such decision is subject to the following conditions:

 

  On or before May 2, 2025, the Company shall file Form 10-K for 2024 in compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).
     
  On or before May 20, 2025, the Company must file a public disclosure describing any transactions undertaken by the Company to increase its equity and providing an indication of its equity following those transactions.
     
  In addition, on or before May 20, 2025, the Company must provide the Panel with an update on its fundraising plans, and updated income projections for the next 12 months, with all underlying assumptions clearly stated.
     
  On or before June 6, 2025, the Company shall demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
     
  If, prior to September 2, 2025, the Company becomes non-compliant with any Listing Rule, the Company will be delisted.

 

The Company continues to work diligently to regain and maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and Stockholders’ Equity Requirement as promptly as possible. In that regard, management believes that it has achieved compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement as reported in the accompanying Statement of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) as of March 31, 2025. There are no assurances however, that the Company will be able to meet and maintain all such conditions required by the Panel.

 

Series A and B warrants issued in connection with the February 2025 public equity offering

 

The Series A and B warrants issued in the February 2025 public equity offering (See Note 12 – Stockholders Equity) become issuable and exercisable on the date of Stockholder Approval. Stockholder approval was obtained on May 6, 2025 at the Special Meeting of Shareholders which activated both the Series A and B warrants. Both the Series A and Series B warrants also contain price and warrant reset provisions that were activated upon the date of Stockholder Approval. The reset provisions increased the number of common shares issuable under the Series A and B warrants as provided for in their respective agreements and the exercise price was reduced from $3.75 per share to $0.62 per share relative to the Series A warrants and $6.00 per share to $0.62 for the Series B warrants.

 

There have been no exercises of the Series A warrants to date and the Series B warrants contained cashless exercise provisions. The Series B warrant holders have exercised a total of 161,068,935 of the total 166,935,591 Series B warrants available to be exercised on a cashless basis.
