Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 17, 2025, AlphaTime Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Minimum Value of Listed Securities, as defined by Nasdaq (“MVLS”), of the Company’s ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), has been below the minimum $50 million requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “Minimum Market Value of Listed Securities Requirement”). An indicator will be displayed with quotation information related to the Company’s securities on listingcenter.nasdaq.com and may be displayed by other third-party providers of market data information, however, the Notice does not impact the listing of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Global Market at this time.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) and 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has been provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from receipt of letters, or until October 14, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”) to regain compliance with the Minimum Market Value of Listed Securities Requirement. To regain compliance with the Minimum Market Value of Listed Securities Requirement, the Company’s MVLS must close at $50 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the Compliance Period.
If the Company does not regain compliance with these listing requirements within the Compliance Period, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that the Ordinary Shares will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. There can be no assurance that, if the Company decides to appeal the delisting determination, such appeal would be successful. Alternatively, if the Company does not regain compliance within the Compliance Period, the Company may submit an application to transfer the listing of the Ordinary Shares to The Nasdaq Capital Market, provided the Company meets the continued listing requirement for The Nasdaq Capital Market and pays an application fee to Nasdaq.
The Company intends to actively monitor the Company’s MVLS and evaluate available options to regain compliance with such requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the requirements or will otherwise be in compliance with other applicable Nasdaq listing rules.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Company’s ability to successfully appeal a delisting determination, the Company’s ability to resolve the deficiency under the Minimum Market Value of Listed Securities Requirement and regain compliance with the Minimum Market Value of Listed Securities Requirement. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2025, and other documents of the Company filed, or to be filed, with the SEC, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for revisions or changes after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, except as required by law.
