Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing rule or Standard
On November 22, 2023, Energem Corp., a special purpose acquisition company, incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), received a notice (the “Notice”) from the staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company has not regained compliance with Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “Rule”) because the market value of its listed securities has remained below the minimum $50,000,000 required for continued listing. Accordingly, the Company’s securities will be delisted unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination as described below, trading of the Company’s ordinary shares.
Additionally, as previously reported by the Company on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2023, on March 31, 2023, the Company received a notice (the “MVLS Notice”) from Nasdaq, stating that the Company’s listed securities failed to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) based upon the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the MVLS Notice and the Company had 180 days to cure the deficiency.
The Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Panel to appeal the Notice received on November 22, 2023. A hearing request will stay the suspension of trading on the Company’s securities, and the Company’s securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision.
There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for a suspension of delisting or continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
