Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On June 14, 2024, Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation (the “Company” or “FLFV”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the period from March 19 through April 30, 2024, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum of $50 million required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “Market Value Standard”). The Staff also noted that the Company does not meet the requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(A) (the “Total Assets/Total Revenue Standard”). An indicator will be displayed with quotation information related to the Company’s securities on NASDAQ.com and NASDAQTrader.com and may be displayed by other third-party providers of market data information, however, the Notice does not impact the listing of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Global Market at this time.
The Notice provided that, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C) (the “Compliance Period Rule”), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until December 11, 2024 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Market Value Standard. During this period, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market. If at any time before the Compliance Date the Company’s MVLS closes at or above $50 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance with the Market Value Standard and will close the matter.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Market Value Standard by the Compliance Date, the Staff will provide a written notification to the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, such appeal would be successful.
The Company intends to monitor its MVLS between now and the Compliance Date, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency under the Market Value Standard and regain compliance with the Market Value Standard. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing criteria.

Forward-Looking Statements
As previously disclosed, on October 26, 2023, FLFV entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among FLFV, Feutune Light Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of FLFV (“Merger Sub”), and Thunder Power Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Thunder Power”), pursuant to which Thunder Power will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FLFV (the “Business Combination”). This Report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the pending transactions described herein, and the parties’ perspectives and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the proposed Business Combination, including the anticipated initial enterprise value and post-closing equity value, the benefits of the proposed Business Combination, integration plans, expected synergies and revenue opportunities, anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including estimates for growth, the expected management and governance of the combined company, and the expected timing of the transactions. The words “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions indicate forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, assumptions (including assumptions about general economic, market, industry and operational factors), known or unknown, which could cause the actual results to vary materially from those indicated or anticipated.
Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (i) risks related to the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the pending Business Combination, including the risk that the transaction may not close due to one or more closing conditions to the Business Combination not being satisfied or waived, such as regulatory approvals not being obtained, on a timely basis or otherwise, or that a governmental entity prohibited, delayed or refused to grant approval for the consummation of the Business Combination or required certain conditions, limitations or restrictions in connection with such approvals; (ii) risks related to the ability of FLFV and Thunder Power to successfully integrate the businesses; (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the applicable transaction agreements; (iv) the risk that there may be a material adverse change with respect to the financial position, performance, operations or prospects of FLFV or Thunder Power; (v) risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed Business Combination; (vi) the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed Business Combination could have adverse effects on the market price of FLFV’s securities; (vii) the risk that the proposed Business Combination and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of Thunder Power to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers and on their operating results and businesses generally; (viii) risks relating to the automotive industry, including but not limited to governmental regulatory and enforcement changes, market competitions, competitive product and pricing activity; and (ix) risks relating to the combined company’s ability to enhance its products and services, execute its business strategy, expand its customer base and maintain stable relationship with its business partners.
A further list and description of risks and uncertainties can be found in the prospectus filed on June 17, 2022 relating to FLFV’s initial public offering, the annual report of FLFV on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2023, filed on March 6, 2024, and the Form S-4, and other documents that the parties may file or furnish with the SEC, which you are encouraged to read. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate only to the date they were made, and FLFV, Thunder Power, and their subsidiaries undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made except as required by law or applicable regulation.
