On January 10, 2024, Aurora Technology Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s listed securities (units, ordinary shares, warrants, and rights, collectively the “Listed Securities”) will be suspended from The Nasdaq Global Market on January 19, 2024, due to the Company’s non-compliance with Listing Rule 5452(a)(1). Listing Rule 5452(a)(1) requires that special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) which listed their securities on The Nasdaq Global Market under alternative Listing Rule 5406, to among other things, maintain a minimum average market value of listed securities of $50,000,000, or a minimum average market value of publicly held shares of $40,000,000, for over 30 consecutive trading days.
Accordingly, and pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(a)(1)(B)(ii)(c), trading of the Listed Securities will be suspended from The Nasdaq Global Market on January 19, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
The Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearing’s Panel, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. Hearing requests will not stay the suspension.
