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

 

On December 11, 2023, Aura FAT Projects Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares, with company registration number 384483 (the “Company”), received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that since the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities was less than $50 million, the Company was no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing criteria set forth in Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), which requires the Company to maintain a Market Value of Listed Securities of at least $50 million (the “MVLS Notice”). The MVLS Notice additionally indicates that the Company, pursuant to the Listing Rules, has a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which it can regain compliance. Further, the MVLS Notice states that, if at any time during the compliance period the Company closes at $50 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

 

The MVLS Notice serves only as a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities. The MVLS Notice does not have a current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Company intends to take action to regain compliance with Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) within the 180 calendar day compliance period. While the Company is exercising diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its ordinary shares on Nasdaq Global Market, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq Global Market MVLS requirement.

This Extension is permitted under the Company’s governing documents.
