For Immediate Release
ScanTech AI Systems Announces Regained Nasdaq Reporting Compliance and Continued Progress on Re-Compliance and Restructuring Initiatives
Atlanta, GA, January 12, 2026 - ScanTech AI Systems Inc. (the "Company" or "ScanTech AI") (Nasdaq: STAI), today announced that it has received written confirmation from Nasdaq that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), the periodic reporting requirement.
Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff determined that the Company satisfied the reporting requirement following the filing of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and that this matter has been deemed moot.
In addition to restoring reporting compliance, the Company has made continued progress across its broader re-compliance initiatives. These actions include the implementation of a reverse stock split to address bid-price mechanics, the timely submission of its written materials to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815, and ongoing engagement with advisors to address remaining listing compliance matters in an orderly and disciplined manner.
As previously disclosed, the Company continues to address the remaining Minimum Value of Listed Securities requirement before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, with a hearing currently scheduled for January 22, 2026. The Company’s securities remain listed on Nasdaq pending the outcome of the hearings process.
Separately, the Company continues to actively evaluate its capital structure and liquidity position and is engaged in constructive discussions with certain creditors regarding potential restructuring, amendment, or other resolution of outstanding obligations. These discussions form part of a broader effort to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and financial flexibility. While these discussions are ongoing and no definitive agreements have been reached, management believes they represent an important component of the Company’s overall restructuring strategy.
Management believes that the actions taken to date reflect meaningful progress in addressing legacy compliance matters, strengthening governance and reporting discipline, and positioning the Company for greater stability as it works through the remaining stages of the Nasdaq process.
There can be no assurance regarding the outcome of the Nasdaq hearings process or the Company’s ability to regain or maintain compliance with all Nasdaq listing standards.

Exhibit 99.2
For Immediate Release
ScanTech AI Systems Regains Bid Price Compliance, Resolves Multiple Nasdaq Deficiencies, and Advances Final Phase of Re-Compliance Plan
Atlanta, GA, January 14, 2026 - ScanTech AI Systems Inc. (the "Company" or "ScanTech AI") (Nasdaq: STAI) today provided a comprehensive update on its Nasdaq listing compliance progress and the execution of its broader remediation and re-compliance plan.
The Company announced that it has received written confirmation from Nasdaq that it has regained compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement. Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff confirmed that the Company’s common stock maintained a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for the required period, and that this matter has been closed.
This development follows earlier confirmation from Nasdaq that the Company regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), the periodic reporting requirement, following the filing of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and amended Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Additionally, the Company previously regained compliance with the minimum value of publicly held shares requirement. As a result, multiple Nasdaq listing deficiencies that arose during prior periods — including multiple periodic reporting deficiencies, the minimum value of publicly held shares requirement, and the minimum bid price requirement — have now been resolved.
The resolution of these matters reflects a series of corrective and procedural actions undertaken by the Company as part of a structured remediation plan designed to address legacy compliance issues and strengthen its regulatory, governance, and financial posture. These actions have included the implementation of a reverse stock split and continued engagement with professional advisors to support the orderly sequencing and execution of the Company’s compliance initiatives.
The Company previously announced that it has engaged FSR Group, through its capital markets division, FSR Capital, to provide strategic and capital markets advisory support to management. In this role, FSR Capital has supported the Company in coordinating elements of its remediation and re-compliance efforts, including capital structure review, sequencing of remediation actions, and engagement with professional advisors.
With the minimum bid price, periodic reporting, and market value of publicly held shares requirements resolved, the Company is now working to address a single remaining Nasdaq listing standard deficiency — the Minimum Value of Listed Securities requirement — at a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The hearing in connection with this matter is currently scheduled for January 22, 2026. The Company expects its securities to remain listed on Nasdaq pending the outcome of the hearings process.
In parallel, the Company continues to evaluate its capital structure and liquidity position and is engaged in ongoing, constructive discussions with certain creditors regarding potential restructuring, amendment, or other resolution of outstanding obligations. These discussions form part of the Company’s broader remediation plan aimed at strengthening its balance sheet, improving financial flexibility, and supporting long-term stability. No definitive agreements have been reached, and there can be no assurance as to the timing or outcome of these discussions.
Management believes that the actions taken to date demonstrate substantial progress in the Company’s re-compliance and remediation efforts, narrowing remaining Nasdaq matters to a single issue and positioning the Company to address that matter in an orderly and disciplined manner.
There can be no assurance regarding the outcome of the Nasdaq hearings process or the Company’s ability to regain or maintain compliance with all Nasdaq listing standards.
