General
4.Given the nature of your offering, including the size of the transaction relative to the
number of outstanding shares held by non-affiliates, it appears that the transaction
may be an indirect primary offering on behalf of the registrant. Please provide us with
a detailed legal analysis of your basis for determining that it is appropriate to
characterize the transaction as a secondary offering under Securities Act Rule
415(a)(1)(i). For guidance, please see Securities Act Rules Compliance and
Disclosure Interpretations Question 612.09.
5.We note your disclosure that on September 9, 2024, you received a written notice
from the listing qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that you
are not in compliance with the minimum 500,000 publicly held shares requirement
pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4), and that you have until October 24, 2024
to provide Nasdaq with a specific plan to regain compliance with this minimum float
requirement. Please revise your registration statement to disclose your noncompliance
with the minimum float requirement, as well as any noncompliance with any other
Nasdaq continued listing requirements, and the risk to investors stemming from your
noncompliance, and discuss any updates regarding your specific plan to regain
compliance, including whether such plan was provided to Nasdaq on or prior to
October 24, 2024.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence
of action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration
statement.
