To regain compliance, the Company's securities must have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180-day period or prior to November 4, 2024. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by November 4, 2024, the Company may be eligible for additional time.

The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its securities between now and November 4, 2024.
