Qualifications Department (the “Nasdaq Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company

has regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum

The information included in this Item 7.01, including

(the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated
