RE:OceanTech Acquisitions I Corp. (Symbol: OTEC)
  Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Hearings
  Docket No. NQ 6654C-23

 

Dear Ms. Weatherholtz:

 

This letter serves to confirm that OceanTech Acquisitions I Corp. (the “Company”) has regained compliance with the $35,000,000 minimum market value of listed securities requirement (MVLS) set forth under Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq” or the “Exchange”), as required by the Hearings Panel’s (“Panel”) decision dated October 9, 2023. See the attached compliance worksheet prepared by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff.

 

The Panel reminds the Company that although it has regained compliance with the MVLS Rule, it is also required to demonstrate compliance with the public shareholders requirement in Listing Rule 5550(a)(3). Therefore, this matter will remain open until the Company has demonstrated compliance with all of the Exchange’s continued listing requirements.

 

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (202) 912-3058.

 

Sincerely,  
   
   
Aravind Menon  
Hearings Advisor  
Nasdaq Office of General Counsel
