Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On March 23, 2026, the Company effectuated a 1-for-100 reverse stock split. On April 6, 2026, in connection with the round lot share rounding associated with the reverse stock split, the Company issued 3,218,299 shares of common stock to CEDE & Co. for distribution to stockholders effected by the rounding.

 

The Company currently has 3,451,665 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

 

All of the above-described issuances (if any) were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2), and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering. With respect to each transaction listed above, no general solicitation was made by either the Company or any person acting on its behalf. All such securities issued pursuant to such exemptions are restricted securities as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) promulgated under the Securities Act, appropriate legends have been placed on the documents evidencing the securities, and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

As previously disclosed, on March 23, 2026, the Company received an additional deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, as a result of the March 23, 2026 1-for-100 reverse stock split, the Company has a post reverse stock split publicly shares number of approximately 247,279. As a result, the Company did not comply with the minimum 500,000 Publicly Held Shares requirement for continued inclusion set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(4). In addition, Staff noted that under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company will remain non-compliant with both the minimum $1 bid price requirement until the Publicly Held shares deficiency is cured and, thereafter, the Company meets the bid price standard for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, unless Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 day period as discussed in Rule 5810(c)(3)(H).

 

Nasdaq further stated in the same March 23, 2026 Additional Staff Determination Letter that, in addition to the Additional Staff Delist Determination, Nasdaq placed trading in the Company’s securities in a Qualification Halt under Listing Rule 4120(i) effective March 23, 2026, and that Nasdaq determined the Qualification Halt will remain in place at least until the Company regains compliance with the Publicly Held Shares requirement for continued inclusion set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(4).

 

As disclosed in Item 3.02 above, on April 6, 2026, in connection with the round lot share rounding associated with the March 23, 2026 reverse stock split, the Company issued 3,218,299 shares of common stock to CEDE & Co. for distribution to stockholders effected by the rounding. The Company believes this issuance cures the Nasdaq deficiency for the Publicly Held Shares requirement for continued inclusion set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(4).

 

The information contained in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and it shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing to this Item 7.01 of this Current Report.
