Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On September 25, 2023, Cartica Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2), which requires the Company to maintain at least 400 total holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Minimum Total Holders Rule”). The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Global Market.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(A)(i), the Notice states that the Company has 45 calendar days, or until November 9, 2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Rule.

 

If the Company is unable to regain compliance by that date, the Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Rule within the required timeframe. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Rule. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “seeks,” or other similar expressions. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve such expectations, including regaining compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Rule during any compliance period or in the future, otherwise meeting Nasdaq compliance standards, being granted by Nasdaq any relief from delisting as necessary, or ultimately meeting applicable Nasdaq requirements for any such relief. The forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this report and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in information, events or circumstances after the date of this report, unless required by law.
