On December 18, 2024, Global Star Acquisition Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the listing qualifications department staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that based upon Nasdaq’s review of the Company’s Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) for the last 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the letter, the Company no longer meets the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum MVPHS of $15,000,000 (the “MVPHS Requirement”). The Company intends to monitor the market value of the Company’s listed securities and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the MVPHS Requirement.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days (or until June 17, 2025) to regain compliance with the MVPHS Requirement. If at any time during this compliance period the Company’s MVPHS closes at $15,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the rule prior to the expiration of the compliance period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearing’s panel.

The Company is working diligently to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules. This notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq. This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notification.
