As previously disclosed, on May 9, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq notifying the Company that it no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(a)(1) for continued listing as the closing bid price for the Company’s ADSs was below US$1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. The Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until November 5, 2025, to regain compliance. If at any time before November 5, 2025, the bid price of the Company’s ADSs closes at or above US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, and the matter will be closed.

The Company's ADSs begins trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market effective at the opening of business on May 19, 2025.
