Item 3.01
|
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
|
As previously reported on Form 8-K filed on June 26, 2023, on June 20, 2023, RMG Acquisition Corp. III (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the Listing
Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market (the “Staff”), notifying the Company that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the Company's minimum Market Value of Listed Securities ("MVLS") was below the minimum of US$35 million
required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the "Market Value Standard").
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company was given 180 calendar days, or until December 18, 2023, to regain compliance with the Market Value
Standard. To regain compliance with the Market Value Standard, the MVLS for the Company's listed securities must have been at least US$35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time during this 180-day period.
On December 20, 2023, the Company received a determination letter (the "Letter") from the Staff stating that the Company has not regained compliance with the Market
Value Standard. The Letter stated that, unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination no later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on December 27, 2023, the Staff has determined that the Company's ordinary shares will be scheduled for
delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market and will be suspended at the opening of business on December 29, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which will remove the Company's securities from listing and
registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
The Company intends to request a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Letter. While the appeal process is pending, the suspension of trading of
the Company's securities is stayed, and the Company's ordinary shares will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision. On December 26, 2023, RMG Sponsor III, LLC (the
“Sponsor”) converted 3,500,000 of its Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares, which the Company believes will allow it to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement. Based on a closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on December
22, 2023 of $10.47, this conversion would increase the MVLS by approximately $36.6 million. In order for the Company to regain compliance with the MVLS rule, the Company’s MVLS must equal or exceed $35.0 million for at least 10 consecutive trading
days, and the Staff must provide written confirmation to the Company to close the matter. Upon receipt of such letter, the Company will file a subsequent Form 8-K to report receipt of the letter.
The Company is diligently working to satisfy Nasdaq's requirements in a timely manner. However, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request
for a suspension of delisting or continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
