New Rochelle-based FutureTech II Acquisition Corp. is confronting a potential delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market after failing to meet the required market value threshold.
The blank check company, which specializes in facilitating mergers and acquisitions, particularly in the real estate and construction sectors, was notified on October 23, 2024, that its Market Value of Listed Securities had fallen below the minimum $50 million standard for the past 30 consecutive business days.
The initial warning from Nasdaq came on April 23, 2024, providing the company with 180 days to regain compliance. However, as of October 21, 2024, FutureTech II had not met the criteria, leading to the delisting notice.
The company's securities, which include Class A Common Stock, Warrants, and Units, are at risk of being suspended from trading starting November 1, 2024, unless FutureTech II appeals the decision or applies to list its securities on The Nasdaq Capital Markets by October 30, 2024.
In response, FutureTech II has appealed the delisting determination and is scheduled for a hearing on December 17, 2024, with the deadline for submitting materials for review set for November 27, 2024. The company has been granted a stay on the delisting action pending the outcome of the hearing.
While FutureTech II plans to present information to the Hearings Panel to regain compliance, the company acknowledges that there is no guarantee of a successful appeal or maintaining the necessary listing criteria afterward. This development is based on a press release statement.
