The Company reports that, as of October 15, 2025, it had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $133.3 million.

NASDAQ Compliance Letter
As previously disclosed on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 2, 2025, on April 30, 2025, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of the notice, the bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The notice received had no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until October 27, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
On October 15, 2025, the Company received a minimum bid price compliance letter from the Staff confirming the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and that the matter is now closed. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) in the future.
