| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On April 27, 2023, Atlantic Coastal Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) received notice (“Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules (the “Listing Rules”) as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) given the Company’s failure to maintain a sufficient number of publicly held shares. Citing the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2022, Nasdaq calculated the Company’s publicly held shares as 461,370 (which amount excludes shares held by officers, directors, or beneficial owners of 10 percent or more). To satisfy the requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company must maintain a minimum of 500,000 publicly held shares.
Consistent with the Listing Rules, the Company has until June 12, 2023 to provide Nasdaq with a specific plan to achieve and sustain compliance with the Listing Rules.
The Company anticipates that any deficiency in its number of publicly held shares will be resolved when certain entities who were included as 10% holders of the Company’s Class A common stock in the Company’s 10-K (based on information in schedule 13G filings) file Form 13Fs with the Securities and Exchange Commission reflecting their holdings of the Company’s stock as of March 31, 2023.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
