Risk Factors\n\nExcept as described herein, there have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.\n\nRisks Related to Our Common Stock\n\nOur failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a delisting of our common stock.\n\nOur common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “JAGX.” In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other requirements, including, without limitation, the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement, the minimum bid price requirement, and the publicly held shares requirement. There can be no assurances that we will be successful in maintaining, or if we fall out of compliance, in regaining compliance with the continued listing requirements and maintaining the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Delisting from Nasdaq could adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities, and we would incur additional costs under requirements of state “blue sky” laws in connection with any sales of our securities. Delisting could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of confidence by employees, the loss of institutional investor interest, and fewer business development opportunities. If Nasdaq delists our common stock, the price of our common stock may decline, and our common stock may be eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system, or on the pink sheets, which would negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock and an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of their common stock or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock.\n\nOn May 23, 2024, we effected a 1-for-60 reverse stock split of our outstanding voting common stock. On March 24, 2025, we effected a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of our outstanding voting common stock.\n\nOn March 5, 2026, we received a written notification from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that because the bid price for our common stock for the previous 30 consecutive business days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share, we were no longer in compliance with the requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). Further, this notice stated that, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), we were not eligible for any compliance period specified in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) due to the fact that we effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period or effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one.\n\nThis notice stated that unless we timely request by March 12, 2026, an appeal before a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), our securities would be scheduled for delisting from Nasdaq. We requested an appeal before the Panel, and had a hearing before the Panel on April 7, 2026 regarding its non-compliance with the Bid Price Rule.\n\nOn April 24, 2026, we received a decision letter from the Panel granting the request to continue our listing on Nasdaq, subject to the condition that, on or before May 15, 2026, the Company shall demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Rule by evidencing a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days on or before May 15, 2026.\n\nOn April 20, 2026, we approved the eleventh amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-35 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, effective April 30, 2026.\n\nOn May 1, 2026, we received a written notification from the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department notifying the Company that, as a result of the 1-for-35 reverse stock split, we had a post reverse stock split number of publicly held shares of Common Stock of approximately 401,226. As a result, we did not comply with the minimum 500,000 Publicly Held Shares requirement for continued inclusion set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) (the “Publicly Held Shares Requirement”). Accordingly, this matter served as an additional basis for delisting our securities from Nasdaq.\n\n \n\n77\n\n[Table of Contents](#toc_page)\n\n \n\nThis notice was also a formal notification that the Panel would consider this matter in their decision regarding our continued listing on The Capital Market. In addition, Staff noted that under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we would remain non-compliant with both the minimum $1 bid price requirement and the Publicly Held Shares Requirement until the Publicly Held shares deficiency is cured and, thereafter, the Company evidences a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, unless Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 day period as discussed in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H).\n\nFollowing the exercise by certain third-party investors of existing pre-funded warrants to purchase Common Stock on May 4, 2026, we regained compliance with the Publicly Held Shares Requirement.\n\nOn May 6, 2026, we received a decision letter from the Panel granting our request for an extension to demonstrate compliance with the Listing Rules of Nasdaq.\n\nIn its letter, the Panel stated that our non-compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) reset the clock for the Company to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. Based upon our representations, the Panel was willing to grant an additional one-day extension to our deadline to demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Rule by evidencing a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, from May 15, 2026 to May 18, 2026.\n\nIn addition, while Listing Rule 5550(a)(5) currently requires the market value of publicly held shares of at least $1 million, Nasdaq has recently announced its intention to amend its rules to not only increase the market value of publicly held shares requirement to at least $5 million, but accelerate the suspension and delisting process for certain noncompliant companies. Specifically, assuming the proposed amendment to the rules as is adopted, if a company remains noncompliant with the $5 million market value of publicly held shares requirement for 30 consecutive trading days, it will be subject to immediate suspension and delisting without a compliance period.\n\nWe continue to actively monitor our performance with respect to the listing standards and will consider available options to resolve any deficiency and maintain compliance with the Nasdaq rules. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance or, if we fall out of compliance, regain compliance with any deficiency, or if we implement an option that regains our compliance, maintain compliance thereafter. In addition, even if we are successful in maintaining compliance with applicable Nasdaq continued listing requirements, our Board may decide, in its sole discretion, that the costs of compliance and the demands of management time and our resources required to maintain our Nasdaq listing are greater than the benefits received by the Company and our stockholders from being a Nasdaq-listed company and that, accordingly, consistent with other cash management and cost reduction measures that we have implemented, we should voluntarily delist from the Nasdaq Capital Market.\n\nIf our common stock were delisted from Nasdaq voluntarily or involuntarily, trading of our Common Stock most likely will be conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as OTCID, OTCQX, OTCBX or OTC Pink which will reduce the market liquidity of our Common Stock. Delisting may result in lower levels of ownership and trading by institutional investors, who are generally guided by quantitative and qualitative investment standards such as market capitalization, minimum share price and liquidity, which in turn often produces lower trading volumes and reduced liquidity. As a result, an investor would find it more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotations for the price of, our Common Stock. Also, many brokers will not allow customers to hold non-listed securities in managed accounts or place restrictions which inhibit holding or trading, and it is generally understood that brokers will not recommend non-listed securities to retail clients, perhaps not as official policy but rather as a practical reality. We cannot assure you that our Common Stock, if delisted from Nasdaq voluntarily, or if they would be delisted involuntarily by Nasdaq, will be listed on another national securities exchange or quoted on an over-the counter quotation system."}
