Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously disclosed on the Form 8-K filed on September 13, 2023, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, StoneBridge Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), received written notice (the “Delisting Letter”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company has not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(3) within the compliance period. According to the Delisting Letter, unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination, the Company’s securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, trading of the Company’s ordinary shares will be suspended at the opening of business on September 18, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.
On September 13, 2023, the Company submitted a request to appeal such determination by requesting a hearing to the Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series to stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. The Panel subsequently, on September 13, 2023, granted the Company’s request for a hearing which was to be held on November 2, 2023 (the “Hearing”).
On October 4, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq stating: (i) that the Company had regained compliance with the minimum 300 public holders’ requirement for continued Listing Rule 5550(a)(3), (ii) that the Company is in compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing requirements, (iii) that the Hearing has been cancelled, and (iv) that the Company’s securities will continue to be listed and trade on Nasdaq.
