Item 8.01. Other Events

On April 20, 2023 the Company submitted a delayed filings Extension ("Request Letter") to the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") regarding certain delayed financial statement filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), specifically the Company's 10-Q's for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 and Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The Company requested an extension to complete and file the delayed filings and any subsequent delayed filings pursuant to the NYSE's late filer rules outlined in Section 802.01E of the Listed Company Manual. As has been previously disclosed in the Company's prior 8-K filings, the Company has been monitored and is under review by the NYSE in light of these delays and remains on the NYSE "late filers" list.

On May 2, 2023 the Company received approval from the NYSE's Listings Operations Committee (the "Committee") to provide the Company with an additional trading period through August 22, 2023, subject to reassessment on an ongoing basis. NYSE Regulation senior management has approved the Committee's decision and additional request for information.

The NYSE have stated they are prepared to continue the listing of the Company at this time and will closely monitor the Company's progress with the milestones and timing outlined in its Request Letter. Failure to achieve these interim milestones could result in accelerated trading suspension prior to the end of the August 22, 2023, trading period. In addition, in the event that the Company does not complete its Delayed Filings and any subsequent delayed filings with the SEC by the end of the maximum 12-month cure period on August 22, 2023, the NYSE will move forward with the initiation of suspension and delisting procedures. The NYSE will also continue to monitor the Company's progress on its other delayed filings as part of our continued listing assessment. We will maintain the "LF" indicator on the Company's securities and include the Company on the "late filer" list on www.nyse.com until such time as the Company is current with all of its periodic SEC filings.
