If the Company needs to submit a compliance plan and Nasdaq accepts the plan, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the filing's due date, or until November 14, 2016 to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept our plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
