  The company explicitly stated that, given its limited ability to raise capital, strategic alternatives include a wind-down, bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar outcome where shareholders are unlikely to receive any meaningful return on investment.

This 8-K is a critical update following the company's previously disclosed non-compliance with Nasdaq listing rules and the recent rejection by shareholders of proposals aimed at addressing these issues. The delisting determination, effective March 5, 2026, significantly increases the risk for investors. Most importantly, the company explicitly states that it is evaluating strategic alternatives, including a potential wind-down, bankruptcy, or liquidation, where shareholders are unlikely to receive any meaningful return. This filing signals an imminent and severe threat to shareholder value, indicating a high probability of total loss.
