Explanatory Note:

 

As previously disclosed, on April 28, 2022, the Registrant received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Registrant that the minimum bid price per share of its common shares was below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days and that the Registrant did not meet the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”).

 

The Registrant was provided 180 calendar days, or until October 25, 2022, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. The Registrant was unable to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, and on October 28, 2022, Nasdaq issued a second notification letter and granted the Registrant an additional 180 calendar days, or until April 24, 2023, to regain compliance.

 

Since then, Nasdaq has determined that for 14 consecutive business days, from November 9, 2022 to November 29, 2022, the closing bid price of the Registrant’s common shares has been at $1.00 per share or greater. On November 30, 2022, Nasdaq notified the Registrant that it has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and the matter is now closed.

 

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 6-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
