Expanded Equity Line of Credit Approved

Reverse Stock Split Authorized
The Board was authorized to implement a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-3 to 1-for-6 within one year. This action is primarily aimed at meeting Nasdaq's minimum $1.00 bid price requirement to avoid delisting.

The company, facing persistent going concern issues and a Nasdaq delisting threat, has secured shareholder approval for two critical actions. The approval to issue shares beyond the 19.99% cap under the $20 million equity line of credit provides a vital, albeit highly dilutive, source of capital. Concurrently, authorizing a reverse stock split is a necessary measure to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement, preventing a potential delisting. While these actions address immediate survival needs, they signal significant financial distress and will likely result in substantial dilution for existing shareholders.
