Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On February 11, 2025, byNordic Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “BYNO”), received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the staff of Nasdaq (“Staff”) has determined that: the Company’s securities will be delisted from Nasdaq, trading of the Company’s Class A common stock, warrants, and units will be suspended at the opening of business on February 18, 2025, 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 Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2 (“Rule IM-5101-2”). Under Rule IM-5101-2, a special purpose acquisition company must complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its initial public offering (“IPO”) registration statement. Since the Company failed to complete its initial business combination by February 8, 2025, the Company did not comply with Rule IM-5101-2, and its securities are now subject to delisting.
The Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. However, the Staff noted that pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(c)(1)(H), in the case of a Company whose business plan is to complete one or more acquisitions, as described in Rule IM-5101-2, where the Staff’s delisting determination letter issued is based on a failure to satisfy the requirement set forth in Rule IM-5101-2(b) to complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement, the Panel may only reverse a delisting decision where the Panel determines that the Staff delisting determination letter was in error and that the Company never failed to satisfy the requirement.
The Company will not appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist the Company securities and accordingly, the Company’s securities will be suspended from trading on Nasdaq at the opening of business on February 18, 2025. However, the Company expects its securities will commence trading on the over-the-counter market on February 18, 2025.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Extension of Business Combination Period to March 12, 2025
As previously disclosed, on August 7, 2024, BYNO held a special meeting of stockholders to consider, among other things, proposals to amend BYNO’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation in order to extend the time BYNO has to complete its initial business combination from August 12, 2024 to August 12, 2025, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), in its sole discretion, and to allow BYNO, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the termination date by one additional month, for a total of twelve additional months, until August 12, 2025, unless the closing of BYNO’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior thereto.
On February 10, 2025, the Company funded the extension that had previously been approved by the Board by depositing $40,312 into the Trust Account, thereby extending the time available to the Company to consummate its initial business combination from February 12, 2025 to March 12, 2025 (the “February 2025 Extension”).
BYNO issued the press release distributed herewith on February 14, 2025. The materials attached as Exhibit 99.1 are incorporated by reference herein.
