The Company’s Board of Directors determined on March 3, 2025, that the split ratio would be one-for-fifty shares.

The March 2025 Reverse Split was effected as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on March 14, 2025 and combined each fifty shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share.

The Company’s Board of Directors determined on May 27, 2025 that the split ratio would be one -for- fifteen shares.

The June 2025 Reverse Split was effected as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on June 2, 2025 and combined each fifteen shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share.

Registered Direct Offering and Concurrent Private Placement

On October 31, 2024, the Company closed a registered direct offering (the “October Registered Direct Offering”) in which, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 30, 2024 (the “October Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and certain institutional investors (the “October Purchasers”), the Company issued and sold 25,663 shares of the Company’s common stock and pre-funded warrants (the “October Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,420 shares of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) in a concurrent private placement (the “October Private Placement”, and together with the October Registered Direct Offering the “October Offering”), unregistered Series C Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “October Series C Warrants”) to purchase up to 27,083 shares of common stock and unregistered Series D Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “October Series D Warrants”, and together with the October Series C Warrants, the “October Series Warrants”, and, together with the October Pre-Funded Warrants and the October Series C Warrants, the “October Warrants”) to purchase up to 27,083 shares of common stock.

In addition, the October Series D Warrants include a provision that resets their exercise price in the event of a reverse split of the Company’s common stock, to a price equal to the lesser of (i) the then exercise price and (ii) lowest volume weighted average price (VWAP) during the period commencing five trading days immediately preceding and the five trading days commencing on the date the Company effects a reverse stock split in the future with a proportionate adjustment to the number of shares underlying the October Series D Warrants, subject to a floor of $47.55.

As a result, the exercise price reset mechanism was triggered, which resulted in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the October Series D Warrants increasing from 27,083 to 136,698. The exercise price of the October Series D Warrants was adjusted from $240.00 per share to $47.55 per share.

The October Series Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The October Series Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants were issued, and the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise thereof will be issued (unless an effective registration statement is available), in reliance on the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, for transactions not involving a public offering.

Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement Deficiency Notifications

On November 12, 2024, the Company received written notice (the “Notification Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of thirty (30) consecutive business days (collectively, the “Bid Price Rule”). Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the thirty-one (31) consecutive business days from September 27, 2024 to November 11, 2024, the Company no longer met the requirements of the Bid Price Rule. The Notification Letter did not impact the Company’s listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market at that time. The Notification Letter stated that the Company had 180 calendar days, or until May 12, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

On April 7, 2025, the Company received written notice (the “Compliance Notice”) from Nasdaq informing the Company that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires that companies listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. Nasdaq notified the Company in the Compliance Notice that, from March 14, 2025 to April 4, 2025, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock had been at $1.00 per share or greater and, accordingly, the Company had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and that the matter was now closed.

The Company received written notice dated May 30, 2025 (the “May 2025 Notification Letter”) from Nasdaq that the Company no longer satisfied the Bid Price Rule. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, for the thirty-two (32) consecutive business days from April 14, 2025 to May 29, 2025, the Company did not comply with the Bid Price Rule.

The May 2025 Notification Letter further indicated that, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company was not eligible for a compliance period under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) due to the fact that the Company had effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period or had effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one; accordingly, the Company was informed that its securities were subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company timely requested a hearing, which request stayed any further suspension or delisting action by Nasdaq at least pending the ultimate conclusion of the hearing process.

On July 2, 2025, the Company received written notice (the “July 2025 Compliance Notice”) from Nasdaq informing the Company that it had regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule, and that the Company was therefore in compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements. Nasdaq also notified the Company in the July 2025 Compliance Notice that the hearing before the Panel previously scheduled to take place on July 15, 2025 was cancelled and the Company’s securities will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq.
