As previously disclosed in the Form 12b-25 filed on May 17, 2021 by Industrial Tech Acquisitions, Inc. (the “Company”), on April 12, 2021, the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” (the “Staff Statement”). The Staff Statement, among other things, highlighted the potential accounting implications of certain terms that are common in warrants issued in connection with the initial public offerings of special purpose acquisition companies such as the Company. As a result of the Staff Statement, the Company required additional time to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”).

On May 28, 2021, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) because it had not timely filed the Form 10-Q with the SEC. The Rule requires Nasdaq-listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. On June 4, 2021, the Company filed the Form 10-Q and the Company believes it is now in compliance with the Rule.

No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 4, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
