As a result, the Company intends to restate its financial statements for the Affected Period in a Form 10-K/A (the “2022 Form 10-K/A”).
Based on the circumstances described above, the Company’s management has concluded that a material weakness exists. and a remediation plan with respect to such material weakness will be described in more detail in the 2022 Form 10-K/A.
