Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

As previously disclosed, on March 21, 2024, Mars Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “MVLS Deficiency Notice”) from the listing qualifications department staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, from February 5, 2024, to March 20, 2024, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum of $50 million required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”).

 

On August 19, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff granting the Company’s request for transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s securities will be transferred to The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on August 20, 2024.

 

In connection with the approval of the request, the Letter from Nasdaq indicated that the Company met the $35,000,000 MVLS standard for the Capital Market and it is still required to comply with the minimum 300 Public Holder Requirement for continued listing on the Capital Market, as required by Listing Rule 5550(a)(3).

 

Pursuant to the Letter, the Company has until September 30, 2024, to demonstrate compliance with the initial listing requirements upon closing of the business combination with Scantech Identification Beam Systems, LLC. If the Company does not regain compliance by closing the business combination or through an alternative method, Nasdaq will provide written notice to the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal any such delisting determination. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice from the Staff and appeals the delisting determination, such appeal will be successful.
