As previously disclosed, on May 18, 2023, Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp. V, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), stating that the Company no longer satisfies the requirement to maintain a minimum of 1,100,000 publicly held shares (the “PHS Requirement”) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, according to the number of publicly held shares reported on its Form 8-K for May 12, 2023. The Company was provided 45 calendar days, or until July 3, 2023, to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the PHS Requirement. The Company submitted such plan on June 30, 2023. On July 18, 2023, the Company received a determination letter from Nasdaq advising it that the Nasdaq Staff has accepted the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the PHS Requirement provided that, on or before November 14, 2023, the Company must file with the SEC and Nasdaq a public document containing its current total shares outstanding and a beneficial ownership table in accordance with the SEC Proxy Rules. If the Company fails to file such public document by November 14, 2023, the Company may receive a notice that its securities will be delisted. In that case, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Listing Qualifications Panel.
