Minimum Bid Price Deficiency

The company received a written notice from the listing qualifications department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that the company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share under the Nasdaq listing rules. Based on the closing bid price of the company's common shares for the last 30 consecutive business days, the company has failed to meet the minimum bid requirement set forth in listing rule 5550(a)(2) during that period.

The notice is only a notification of deficiency, it is not a notice of imminent delisting, and it has no current immediate effect on the listing or trading of the company's common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Under Nasdaq listing rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the company has 180 calendar days from the date of the notice, or December 12, 2022, to regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement, during which time the common shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If at any time before December 12, 2022, the bid price of the common shares closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the company will regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement. If the company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement by December 12, 2022, the company may be eligible for an additional period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance or may be subject to delisting of the common shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The company's common shares are also listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Notice does not affect the company's compliance status with such listing.
