Share Consolidation

On October 28, 2022, the Company’s Board approved a share consolidation of the Company’s common shares at the ratio of one-for-twenty-four reverse split with the effective date of November 09, 2022. The objective of the share consolidation is to enable the company to regain compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) and maintain its listing on Nasdaq.

As a result of the share consolidation, each 24 common shares outstanding automatically combines and converts to one issued and outstanding common share without any action on the part of the shareholder. The share consolidation reduces the number of common shares issued and outstanding from 29,278,601 to 1,219,937. The authorized number of common shares will be reduced by the same one-for-twenty-four ratio from 60 million to 2.5 million.
