• 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split Announced

  The company will effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split, effective June 12, 2026, to regain compliance with NASDAQ Capital Market listing standards. This will reduce outstanding shares from approximately 10.3 million to 516,328.

• Inducement Warrant Exercise Price Corrected

  An amendment corrects the exercise price of newly issued Inducement Warrants from $0.4626 to $3.57. This significantly improves the terms for the company, as future exercises will bring in more capital at a higher price.

This filing announces a critical 1-for-20 reverse stock split, effective June 12, 2026, primarily to regain compliance with NASDAQ listing standards. This is a significant event for a company already facing 'going concern' doubts and trading near its 52-week low. Concurrently, an amendment corrects the exercise price of newly issued inducement warrants from $0.4626 to $3.57. While the company received $462,800 in net cash proceeds and redeemed $2.01 million in Series B Preferred Stock through a warrant inducement offering, the issuance of over 5.3 million new warrants at the corrected higher exercise price still represents substantial potential dilution. The reverse split, coupled with ongoing dilutive financing, underscores the company's precarious financial position.
