Monitor the compliance plan submission by July 6, 2026. If the plan is rejected or the company fails to regain compliance within the extension period, warrants will likely be delisted from Nasdaq and trade over-the-counter with minimal liquidity. Given the small market cap and early-stage nature, a capital raise or reverse split may be attempted to restore equity — watch for related filings.
