Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”), the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1)
(the “Rule”), which requires the timely filing of all required periodic reports with the SEC.
The Company received a delinquency notification
letter (the “Notice”) from Nasdaq on May 20, 2024 due to the Company’s non-compliance with the Rule as a result of the
Company’s failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form
10-Q”). The Notice states that the Company has until June 18, 2024 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq
Listing Rules. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, then Nasdaq may grant the Company up to October 14, 2024, or 180 days from
the due date of the Initial Delinquent Filing, for filing the Form 10-K and the Form 10-Q to regain compliance. If the Company fails to
timely regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), the Company’s ordinary shares will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq.
The Company continues to work diligently to complete
the 2023 Form 10-K and the Form 10-Q.
