Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 28, 2024, Ace Global Business Acquisition Limited (the “Company”) received a notice from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), the Company’s securities (units, ordinary shares and warrants) would be subject to suspension and delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on April 8, 2024 due to the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq IM-5101-2, which requires that a special purpose acquisition company must complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement. Accordingly, the Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Panel. The hearing request will result in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing.
