On May 29, 2020, the Company submitted a request for a hearing before the Panel under Listing Rule 5815(a) to present its plan to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

The Company received a delisting determination letter on May 22, 2020 from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq which notified the Company that because it had not filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 (the "2019 20-F") by May 13, 2020, the deadline by which the Company was to file the 2019 20-F in order to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), the Company's common stock is subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.
