Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On September 12, 2023, Northern Star Investment Corp. IV (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of NYSE Regulation (the “Staff”) of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) indicating that the Staff has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Class A Common Stock and units, each consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-sixth of one redeemable warrant (the “Units”), each warrant exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock of the Company (the “Warrants”), from the NYSE. The Notice indicated that the Staff reached its decision to delist the Company’s securities pursuant to Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual because the Staff determined that the Company had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring a listed acquisition company to maintain an average aggregate global market capitalization attributable to its publicly-held shares over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $40,000,000.
The Company has a right to a review of the Staff’s determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of the NYSE. The Company has until September 26, 2023 to determine whether or not to request such a review of the determination. Application to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Units is pending, subject to the completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the Staff’s decision.
Trading in the Class A Common Stock and Units on the NYSE has been suspended as of the date of the Notice. Effective as of September 13, 2023, the Class A Common Stock and Units may be quoted and traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market under the ticker symbols “NSTD” and “NSTD.U,” respectively.
