However, consistent with Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4), Nasdaq will provide the Company a cure period in order to regain compliance 1) until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or January 25, 2017; or 2) if the next shareholders’ meeting is held before July 25, 2016, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than July 25, 2016. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by this date, Nasdaq rules require Staff to provide written notification to the Company that its securities will be delisted.
