Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement
On April 19, 2024, the Registrant entered into a Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement”) with an individual accredited investor, pursuant to which the investor purchased a revenue interest from the Registrant for $500,000.
As consideration for such payment, commencing on June 1, 2024 and continuing thereafter until all amounts are repurchased by the Registrant pursuant to the terms of the Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement, the investor has a right to receive $50,000 per month from the Registrant generated from its operating subsidiaries (the “Revenue Interest”).
Under the Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement, the Company has an option (the “Call Option”) to repurchase the Revenue Interest at any time upon two days advance written notice. Additionally, the Purchasers have an option (the “Put Option”) to terminate the Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement and to require the Registrant to repurchase future Revenue Interest upon the Registrant consummating a public offering pursuant to Regulation A. The repurchase price to be paid by the Registrant will be, if the Call Option or the Put Option is exercised (i) $770,000 if repurchased on or before May 31, 2024; and (ii) $700,000 after June 1, 2024; in each case of (i) or (ii), minus all Revenue Interest or other payments made by the Registrant to the investor prior to such date.
In addition, the Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement contains various representations and warranties, covenants and other obligations and other provisions that are customary for a transaction of this nature.
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 herewith and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information contained in Item 1.01 under the heading “Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement” is incorporated by reference under this Item 2.03.
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 27, 2023, on October 23, 2023, the Registrant received a written notification (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Registrant was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”), as the Registrant’s closing bid price for its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, was below $1.00 per share for the thirty-three (33) consecutive business days prior to the date of the Notice from Nasdaq.

On April 23, 2024, the Registrant received notice from Nasdaq indicating that, while the Registrant has not regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq has determined that the Registrant is eligible for an additional 180-day period, or until October 21, 2024, to regain compliance. According to the notification from Nasdaq, the staff’s determination was based on (i) the Registrant meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of its publicly held shares and all other applicable Nasdaq initial listing standards, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and (ii) the Registrant’s written notice to Nasdaq of its 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 the common stock is at least $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Registrant with written confirmation of compliance. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by October 21, 2024, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Registrant may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel.
