The company states: “As previously disclosed, on February 23, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, after consultation with the Company’s management, concluded there were material errors in its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 and the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2024, and in its previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for each of the quarterly and year-to-date periods within fiscal year 2024 as well as the quarterly and year-to-date periods for the periods ended September 27, 2025, June 28, 2025 and March 29, 2025, and concluded that such financial statements should not be relied upon and required restatement. The Company is not yet able to provide additional details regarding its financial results for the impacted periods. As a result, the Company could not timely file its 2025 Form 10-K. As disclosed on March 11, 2026, the Company previously expected to file its 2025 Form 10-K by April 26, 2026; it no longer expects to meet this date. In accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, the Company has until June 15, 2026 to submit a plan to regain compliance with respect to its delinquent Form 10-K. The Company currently expects to file the 2025 Form 10-K on or before this deadline. Due to the delay in filing its 2025 Form 10-K, the Company does not currently expect to timely file its first quarter 2026 Form 10-Q. In connection with the restatement, the Company has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting and in its disclosure controls and procedures.”
