Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
The information under Item 8.01 regarding the delisting by the New York Stock Exchange American (“NYSE American”) is incorporated into this Item 3.01 by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On September 27, 2024, Ault Disruptive Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it will redeem all of its outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), effective as of the close of business on October 11, 2024, because the Company will not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company expects that the last day of trading of the Common Stock and units of the Company on the NYSE American will be October 10, 2024, following which the Company expects that the NYSE American will file a Form 25 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to delist its securities on or about October 11, 2024. The Company thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the Commission to terminate the registration of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

This communication may include, and oral statements made from time to time by representatives of the Company may include, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements regarding possible business combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included in this communication are forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company’s management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in the Company’s filings with the Commission. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Commission on April 11, 2024.
