Item3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On September 3, 2024, Concord Acquisition Corp II (the “Company”) received a letter from the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American” or the “Exchange”) stating that the staff of NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Class A Common Stock, Units and Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”) pursuant to Sections 119(b) and 119(f) of the NYSE American Company Guide because the Company failed to consummate a business combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of its initial public offering registration statement, or such shorter period that the Company specified in its registration statement. As a result of the determination, trading of the Company’s Securities on the NYSE American has been suspended.

As indicated in the letter, the Company has a right to a review of the delisting determination by the Listings Qualifications Panel of the Committee for Review of the Board of Directors of the Exchange. The Company intends to make such a request, and seek to list the Securities on the OTC Markets for trading while the trading of the Securities on NYSE American is suspended. If the Company’s Securities are delisted from the NYSE American, the Company intends to seek a listing of its Securities on the Nasdaq Stock Market in connection with the consummation of the Company’s proposed initial business combination.

Exhibit 99.1

Concord Acquisition Corp II Navigates TransitionFollowing NYSE American Delisting Notice

Alternative Listing with Nasdaq Considered

New York, NY – September 3, 2024 – Concord Acquisition Corp II (NYSE: CNDA) (the “Company”) today announced that it has received notification from NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American” or the “Exchange”) indicating that the staff of NYSE has determined to initiate proceedings which may delist the Company’s Class A Common Stock, Units, and Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”). This step, anticipated as part of the Company’s strategic journey to the public markets, is due to the Company not completing a business combination within 36 months as required by Sections 119(b) and 119(f) of the NYSE American Listed Company Guide.

The Company has the right to request a review of this delisting determination by the Listings Qualifications Panel of the Committee for Review of the Board of Directors of the Exchange. In line with its strategic plans, the Company intends to pursue this review and will seek to list its Securities on the OTC Markets for trading during the suspension on NYSE American. This transition is expected to be temporary as the Company remains hopeful that its appeal for an extension will be granted by the NYSE American. Simultaneously, the Company and its sponsor are actively exploring a listing on the Nasdaq.

Concord remains focused on the public process, continuing to work diligently to achieve its listing goals and enhance shareholder value.
