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

 

On March 10, 2025, Patria Latin American Opportunity Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s securities would be subject to suspension and delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market at the opening of business on March 17, 2025 due to the Company’s non-compliance with IM-5101-2, which requires the company to complete a business combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement. Accordingly, Nasdaq informed us that a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
