Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On July 11, 2025, Bowen Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) because the Company has failed to maintain a minimum of 400 total shareholders for continued listing.
On July 15, 2025, the Company received a delisting determination letter (the “Delisting Determination Letter”) notifying the Company that its securities are now subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market.
The Delisting Determination Letter stated that the Company was not in compliance with (A) Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(b)(2)(A), which requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Market to have Market Value of Listed Securities of at least $50,000,000 for a period of 30 consecutive trading days, (B) Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(b)(2)(B), which requires that companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Market maintain a minimum 1,100,000 Publicly Held Shares, (C) Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(b)(2)(C), which requires that companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Market to have Market Value of Publicly Held Shares to be at least $15,000,000 for a period of 30 consecutive trading days and (4) Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(a)(2), which requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Market to have at least 400 total shareholders. As such, the Staff was applying more stringent criteria as permitted under Listing Rule 5101 to delist the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq Global Market. Additionally, on July 15, 2025, Nasdaq determined to halt trading in the Company’s securities.
The Company appealed the Delisting Determination Letter and a hearing on the matter was held on August 21, 2025. As a result of such hearing, on September 4, 2025, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) granted the Company’s request to continue its listing on Nasdaq provided that the Company consummate its previously announced business combination by October 15, 2025.
On October 30, 2025, the Company received a Nasdaq listing qualifications hearing decision letter (the “Hearing Decision Letter”) notifying the Company that the Panel had determined to delist the securities of the Company at the open of trading on November 3, 2025 due to the Company’s failure to complete its business combination by the October 15, 2025 deadline.
The Hearing Decision Letter indicated that the Company could request a review of the Panel’s decision by the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Council”) pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5820(a). Accordingly, the Company timely made the request for the hearing before the Council to review the decision made by the Panel. There can be no assurance that the Council will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or a stay of the suspension of the Company’s securities.
