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

 

As previously disclosed, on April 23, 2024, FutureTech II Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities was below the minimum of $50 million required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market (the “Market Value Standard”) pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “Rule”). The Notice provided that, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until October 21, 2024, to regain compliance with the Market Value Standard.

 

On October 23, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Staff (the “Staff’s Determination”) stating that the Company has not regained compliance with the Rule and the Company’s securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Markets unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination by October 30, 2024 or apply to list its securities on The Nasdaq Capital Markets. If the Company does not appeal the Staff’s delisting determination or does not apply to list its securities on The Nasdaq Capital Markets by October 30, 2024, trading of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, Warrants and Units will be suspended at the opening of business on November 1, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

On October 29, 2024, the Company appealed the Staff’s Determination and requested for a hearing (the “Hearing”) to the Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). On October 30, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that the delisting action has been stayed, pending a final written decision by the Panel, and that the date of the Hearing will be December 17, 2024. The deadline for submission of materials to the Panel for review is November 27, 2024. The letter also contained hearing instructions.

 

To address the deficiency related to the Rule, the Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on November 18, 2024 as set forth on a Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on October 31, 2024 (as amended and supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”). As disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 22, 2024, in order to authorize the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq, the stockholders approved the Founder Share Amendment Proposal to provide for the right of the holders of the Company’s Class B common stock to convert such shares into shares of Class A common stock on a one-to-one basis at the election of such holders at any time rather than upon the closing of an initial business combination.

 

On November 21, 2024, the Company promptly adopted and filed an Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company with the Secretary of the State of the State of Delaware and the holders of the Class B common stock unanimously elected to convert 2,875,000 shares of Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock. As a result, as of November 21, 2024, the Company has about 4,261,485 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, including 754,886 shares of public shares issued and outstanding,

 

On November 27, 2024, the Company submitted a Transfer of Listing application to Nasdaq to list its securities on The Nasdaq Capital Markets.

 

 

The Company believes that it will meet the listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market. However, there is no guarantee that such transfer application will be approved by Nasdaq.

 

At the Hearing on December 17, 2024, the Company plans to use its best efforts to provide the Panel the information needed to regain compliance with Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq at the Hearing or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing criteria.
