Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On January 12, 2023, Relativity Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) received a determination letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules set forth in (i) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), requiring a minimum of $50 million Market Value of Listed Securities, (ii) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(B), requiring a minimum 1,100,000 Publicly Held Shares, and (iii) Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C), requiring a minimum of $15 million in Market Value of Publicly Held Shares. In addition, the Letter stated that the Company does not comply with either of the alternative requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Listing Rules 5450(b)(1) or 5450(b)(3), or the requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Listing Rule 5550. The Letter also indicated that the Staff had concerns that the Company may no longer comply with the minimum 400 Total Holders requirement of Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) due to the substantial number of shareholder redemptions and low number of shares remaining outstanding. Additionally, the Letter indicated that, while companies are normally afforded compliance periods or the ability to submit a plan of compliance in order to be granted time to regain compliance, the Staff had determined to apply a more stringent criteria as permitted under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101 to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Global Market. As a result, the Letter indicated that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Global Market. The Staff’s determination was based on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 28, 2022, in which the Company disclosed that 14,221,705 shares of Class A common stock exercised their redemption rights in connection with a special meeting of stockholders held on December 21, 2022. In addition, on January 11, 2023, the Staff determined to halt trading in the Company’s securities.
The Company has requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. A hearing request stays any suspension or delisting of the Company’s securities, and the Company’s securities will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision following the hearing. At this juncture, the Company is unable to provide assurance as to if and when the trading halt will be released.
Finally there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq.
A copy of the press release announcing the receipt of the above determination letter is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
