The Notification stated that the Company must complete the disposition of its specialty chemical business on or before April 15, 2019, and demonstrate compliance through the filing of its Form 6-K.

If the Company fails to evidence compliance in its Form 20-F for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019 with the SEC, the Company may be subject to delisting. In the event the Company does not satisfy these terms, Nasdaq will provide written notification that its securities will be delisted.
