Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on July 18, 2024, Thunder Bridge Capital Partners IV, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that since the Company did not complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement pursuant to IM-5101-2 (the “Rule”), the Company’s securities were subject to delisting. The Company timely requested an appeal of the Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), and attended the hearing before the Panel on August 22, 2024.
On September 11, 2024, the Panel determined to grant the request of the Company to continue its listing on Nasdaq, subject to the following: on or before January 14, 2025, the Company will complete the business combination among Coincheck Group B.V., M1 Co G.K., Coincheck Merger Sub, Inc., and Coincheck, Inc., a Japanese joint stock company (collectively, “Coincheck”) (the “Business Combination”), and demonstrate compliance with the Rule and all applicable initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Panel advised the Company that January 14, 2025, represents the full extent of the Panel’s discretion to grant continued listing while the Company is non-compliant with the Rule (such period, the “Exception Period”).
During the Exception Period, the Company must provide prompt notification of any significant events occurring that may affect compliance with Nasdaq requirements, including, but not limited to, any event calling into question the Company’s ability to meet the terms of the granted exception. The Panel reserved the right to reconsider the terms of the granted exception based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would make continued listing of the Company’s securities inadvisable or unwarranted in the opinion of the Panel. Any compliance document will also be subject to review by the Panel during the Exception Period, and the Panel reserves the right to request additional information before determining compliance by the Company with the terms of the exception.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the “safe harbor” provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking statements. When used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions), as they relate to the Company or its management team, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Company’s ability to resolve the deficiency under the Rule and regain compliance with the Rule. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s final prospectus for its initial public offering filed with the SEC on June 30, 2021, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, and other documents of the Company filed, or to be filed, with the SEC, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for revisions or changes after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, except as required by law.
