Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a
Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed in
the Form 12b-25 filed on April 1, 2022 by Mallard Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), the Company required additional
time to finalize its financial statements to be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021 (“Form
10-K”), and did not timely file its Form 10-K.
On April 22, 2022 the Company
received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)
stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) because it had not timely
filed the Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Rule requires listed companies to timely
file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. The Company intends to file its Form 10-K with the SEC as soon as practicable.
However, as disclosed in Item 8.01 below, the Company plans to liquidate, and its securities will not continue to be listed on Nasdaq
subsequent to such liquidation.
Item 5.07. Submission
of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On
April 25, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s
stockholders approved the proposed amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date
by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from April 29, 2022 to July 29, 2022, with an option for the Company,
without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the date to consummate a business combination for an additional three months, from
July 29, 2022 to October 29, 2022 (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”).
The
final voting results for the Extension Amendment Proposal were as follows:
| For | | |
Against | | |
Abstain | | |
Broker Non-Votes | |
| | 10,456,816 | | |
| 757 | | |

Stockholders
holding 8,543,668 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the
funds in the Company’s trust account for approximately $86.3 million ($10.10 per share).
Notwithstanding
the stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the board of directors of the Company has determined that it is in the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment Proposal, in accordance with the Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
Due to the Company’s
inability to consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
the Company intends to dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the provisions of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
and will redeem all of the shares of outstanding common stock that were included in the units issued in its initial public offering (the
“Public Shares”), at a per-share redemption price of approximately $10.10.
As of the close of business
on April 29, 2022, the Public Shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the redemption amount.
In
order to provide for the disbursement of funds from the trust account, the Company has instructed the trustee of the trust account to
take all necessary actions to immediately liquidate the trust account. The proceeds of the trust account will be held in a non-interest
bearing account while awaiting disbursement to the holders of the Public Shares. Record holders may redeem their shares for their pro
rata portion of the proceeds of the trust account by delivering their Public Shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, the Company’s transfer agent. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in “street name,” however,
will not need to take any action in order to receive the redemption amount. The redemption of the Public Shares is expected to be completed
within ten business days after April 29, 2022.
The Company’s initial
stockholders have waived their redemption rights with respect to its outstanding common stock issued prior to the Company’s initial
public offering.
There
will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless.
On April 28, 2022, the Company
issued a press release announcing (1) its receipt of the Notice, and (2) that the Company intends to dissolve and liquidate in accordance
with the provisions of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and will redeem all of its Public Shares. A copy of the press
release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
