Item 3.01.

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously disclosed, on December 30, 2025, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) providing notification that the bid price of our common stock had closed below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days, and our common stock no longer met the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had 180 calendar days, or until June 29, 2026, to regain compliance.

On June 30, 2026, the Staff notified us that we are eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until December 28, 2026, to regain compliance. The Staff’s determination was based on our meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and our written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If at any time during this second 180-day compliance period, the closing bid price of our common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance. If we choose to implement a reverse stock split, we must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to the expiration date in order to timely regain compliance. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by December 28, 2026, Staff will provide written notification that the common stock will be delisted. At that time, we may appeal Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel.

The letter has no immediate impact on the listing of our common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to our compliance with the other listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market. Although we will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2), there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with that rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other listing criteria of The Nasdaq Capital Market.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information contained in this report consists of forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Words such as “will,” “would,” “may,” “intends,” “potential,” and similar expressions, or the use of future tense, identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and actual actions or events could differ materially from those contained in such statements. For example, there can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement within the applicable compliance period, or at all; that we will continue to satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements; that Nasdaq will grant any additional relief from delisting, if needed; that any reverse stock split or other actions we may take will be approved, implemented or effective in regaining compliance; or that any compliance regained will be maintained. The forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this report and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in information, events or circumstances after the date of this report, unless required by law.
