Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On February 28, 2023, Pivotal Investment Corporation III (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of NYSE Regulation (the “Staff”) of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) indicating that the Staff has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Class A Common Stock and units, each consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant (the “Units”), each warrant exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock of the Company (the “Warrants”), from the NYSE pursuant to Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual because the Company had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring a listed acquisition company to maintain an average aggregate global market capitalization attributable to its publicly-held shares over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $40,000,000.
The Company has a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the NYSE. Application to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Units is pending, subject to the completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the Staff’s decision. The Company intends to appeal the determination.
Trading in the Class A Common Stock and Units on the NYSE will be suspended immediately. Effective as of March 1, 2023, the Class A Common Stock and units may be quoted and traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market under the ticker symbols “PICC” and “PICCU,” respectively.
The Company issued a press release announcing the foregoing, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
