| Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On November 9, 2021, Angel Pond Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of NYSE Regulation of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) indicating that the Company is not currently in compliance with Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “Manual”), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of 300 public shareholders on a continuous basis.
In accordance with Sections 801 and 802 of the Manual, the Company has been provided with a period of 45 days to respond with a business plan that demonstrates how the Company expects to return to compliance with the minimum public shareholders requirement within 18 months of receipt of the Notice. The Company anticipates that it will satisfy this listing requirement within such time period once it consummates an initial business combination.
The Company intends to submit a business plan to return to compliance with the minimum public shareholders requirement within the required timeframe. The Listings Operations Committee (the “Committee”) of the NYSE will review the business plan. If the Committee accepts the business plan, the Company’s securities will remain listed on the NYSE and will be subject to quarterly monitoring for compliance with such plan. If the Committee does not accept the business plan, the Company will be subject to suspension and delisting procedures.
The Company’s ordinary shares, warrants and units, which trade under the symbols “POND,” “POND WS” and “POND.U,” respectively, will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the cure period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the NYSE’s other applicable continued listing standards, and will bear the indicator “.BC” on the consolidated tape to indicate noncompliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards.

These forward-looking statements are based on information available to the Company as of the date of this report and involve substantial risks and uncertainties.
