On May 29, 2020, the Company submitted a request for a hearing before the Panel under Listing Rule 5815(a) to present its plan to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). This request automatically stayed the delisting of the Company's securities until June 15, 2020. The Panel notified the Company that it has extended the stay until it fully reviews the facts of the matter and makes a final determination regarding the Company's listing status following the July 2, 2020 hearing.
The Company received a delisting determination letter on May 22, 2020 from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq which notified the Company that because it had not filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 (the "2019 20-F") by May 13, 2020, the deadline by which the Company was to file the 2019 20-F in order to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), the Company's common stock is subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.
As disclosed previously, the Company is working assiduously to complete its delayed SEC filings of its financial statements and to regain compliance with the NASDAQ rules as soon as possible.
