Item 8.01

Other Events
|
Regarding the independence of the Company’s board of directors and the method(s) by which the Company intends to reestablish an independent board of directors, the Company is actively conducting a director search for a qualified candidate or candidates who could join the Company’s board of directors as soon as practicable following our annual meeting. The Company’s new director(s) will not only satisfy the independence requirements under Nasdaq’s listing standards but will have no material connection to our Company (that is, no material financial, personal, business, or other relationship that a reasonable person could conclude could potentially influence boardroom objectivity) prior to being appointed to the board of directors. A director could be a shareholder or affiliated with or introduced to the company by one. The Company is committed to having a new director or directors in place within no more than six months after the upcoming annual meeting.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
