Other Events.
On July
12, 2018, the Company received notice from the NYSE American (the
“Exchange”) indicating that the Company was not in
compliance with Section 1003(a) of the Exchange's continued listing
standards in the Company Guide. The Company was afforded the
opportunity to submit a plan to regain compliance, and on July 30,
2018 the Company submitted its plan to the Exchange.
On
August 16, 2018 the Exchange notified the Company that it accepted
the Company's plan of compliance and granted the Company an
extension until January 14, 2019 to regain compliance with the
continued listing standards. The Company will be subject to
periodic review during the extension period. Failure to make
progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the
continued listing standards by the end of the extension period
could result in the Company being delisted from the NYSE
American.
On
August 17, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing its
receipt from the Exchange of its acceptance of the Company’s
plan of compliance. The full text of this press release is attached
as Exhibit 99.
