The Company also announced that it expects general and administrative (G&A) operating expenses for 2024
to be higher than original estimates, driven by external auditor fees and outside services related to the completion of the 2023 Form 10-K. These fees incurred by the Company, while transitory in nature, are
expected to total over $9 million, approximately $7.5 million higher than anticipated in the original operating expense guidance provided for the full year. From a timing standpoint, the Company expects approximately 65% of these cost
overruns occurred in Q1, approximately 25% in Q2, with the balance anticipated in Q3. It is important to note that, with the transition of audit responsibilities to a new firm, the Company expects a substantial improvement in operating expenses
beginning in Q4.
The Company plans to release its financial results for the first quarter 2024 on or about August 19, 2024 in conjunction with the
filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 with the SEC. In addition, the Company expects to release financial results for the second quarter 2024 during the week of
August 26, 2024. Following its second quarter earnings release, the Company will host a conference call and simultaneous webcast to discuss its results for first half 2024 and outlook for the remainder of year.
