Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On December 11, 2023, A SPAC II Acquisition Corp. (“ASCB” or the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), stating that the Company’s listed securities failed to comply with the $50,000,000 market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) based upon the Company’s market value of listed securities for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Notice.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq and the Company has been provided a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until June 10, 2024, in which to regain compliance (the “Compliance Period”). In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), the market value of listed securities of the Company must close at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period.
In the event that the Company does not regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) within the Compliance Period, Nasdaq will provide notice to the Company that its listed securities will be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Company may either apply for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, provided it meets the continued listing requirements of that market, or appeal the decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. In the event of an appeal, the Company’s securities would remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Market pending a decision by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The Company may also appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance that Nasdaq would grant the Company’s request for continued listing.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement between the Company and A SPAC II (Holdings) Corp. (the “Sponsor”), dated December 7, 2023, the Sponsor has transferred and delivered to the Company 4,900,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company (the “Class B Shares”) in exchange for 4,900,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “Class A Shares”) (the “Share Exchange”). The 4,900,000 Class A Shares issued in connection with the Share Exchange are subject to the same restricted as applied to the Class B Shares before the Share Exchange, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for the Company’s initial public offering.
Following the Share Exchange, there are 7,196,395 Class A Shares and 100,000 Class B Shares issued and outstanding. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Sponsor holds approximately 68.1% of the Company’s outstanding Class A Shares. The issuance of the 4,900,000 Class A Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereof.
