Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On October 9, 2023, Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp., (the “Company” or “WTMA”) received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department of Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company no longer complies with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Rule”) for continued listing on Nasdaq. Under the Rule, the Company is required to maintain at least 400 total holders (the “Total Holder Requirement”).
The Notice indicates that the Company has 45 calendar days (the “Deadline”) to submit a plan (the “Compliance Plan”) to regain compliance with the Rule. If Nasdaq accepts the Compliance Plan, Nasdaq can grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Compliance Plan, the Company may appeal the decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel. The Company intends to regain compliance with the Total Holder Requirement prior to the Deadline. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Rule.
