Item 8.01			Other Events.

On June 22, 2023, the Company filed its monthly operating report with the Bankruptcy Court for the month ending May 31, 2023 (the “Monthly Operating Report”). The Monthly Operating Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Note Regarding the Monthly Operating Report

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any Company securities. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Report was not reviewed by independent accountants, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment. The financial information in the Monthly Operating Report is not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and, therefore, may exclude items required by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications, eliminations, accruals, valuations and disclosures. The Monthly Operating Report also relates to a period that is different from the historical periods required in the Company’s reports pursuant to the Exchange Act.

Cautionary Note Regarding Trading in the Company’s Securities

The Company cautions that trading in the Company’s securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company’s securities in the Chapter 11 Case. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its securities.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the Chapter 11 Case and the Company’s ability to continue operating in the ordinary course while the Chapter 11 Case is pending, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “potential,” “projects,” “target,” “will,” “would” and “future” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based upon the current expectations and beliefs of management and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, (i) potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 Case on the Company’s liquidity and results of operations; (ii) the Company’s ability to obtain timely approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the motions filed in the Chapter 11 Case; (iii) uncertainties associated with the Company’s ability to complete the sale of its remaining assets in the Chapter 11 Case, including pursuant to the bidding procedures in connection therewith, or other pleadings filed that could protract the Chapter 11 Case; (iv) employee attrition and the Company’s ability to retain senior management and other key personnel due to the distractions and uncertainties; (v) the Company’s ability to maintain relationships with suppliers, customers, employees and other third parties and regulatory authorities as a result of the Chapter 11 Case; (vi) the effects of the Chapter 11 Case on the Company and on the interests of various constituents, including holders of the Company’s common stock; (vii) the Bankruptcy Court’s rulings in the Chapter 11 Case and the outcome of the Chapter 11 Case generally; (viii) the length of time that the Company will operate under Chapter 11 protection and the continued availability of operating capital during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case; (ix) risks associated with third party motions in the Chapter 11 Case; (x) increased administrative and legal costs related to the Chapter 11 process; (xi) exposure to potential litigation and inherent risks involved in a bankruptcy process; (xii) diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; (xiii) potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the bankruptcy proceedings of the Company; (xiv) risks arising from the delisting of the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; (xv) the outcome of the Company’s contesting of the break-up fee under the Purchase Agreement, and (xvi) other risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual or quarterly report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other filings the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. The forward-looking statements herein do not constitute guarantees of future performance, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to update the information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law.
