() ("GBT” or the “Company”), announced that its Board of Directors has elected to not pursue the reverse stock split, which it was previously authorized to implement at any time prior to December 31, 2023 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors on July 21, 2022 and the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company dated June 28, 2022.
