Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On February 22, 2024, Spree Acquisition Corp. 1 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Spree” or the “Company”) received notice (the “Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “Listing Rule”). The Listing Rule requires a listed acquisition company to maintain an average aggregate global market capitalization attributable to its publicly held shares (a “public float”) over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $40,000,000.
The Company is currently evaluating possible alternatives in light of the Notice. The Company has a right to a review of the NYSE staff’s determination by a committee of the board of directors of the NYSE, which the Company may request within 10 business days of its receipt of the Notice. If the Company does not request such a review of the potential delisting, or if such a review results in a rejection by the committee of the Company’s appeal, the NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s securities upon completion of all applicable procedures.
NYSE has suspended trading in the Company’s securities pending the potential delisting process or any successful appeal by the Company. If the delisting is completed, that could adversely affect the liquidity and value of the Company’s securities.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this current report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words indicating future events and actions, such as “will,” “intend,” “plan,” and “may,” and variations of such words, and similar expressions and future-looking language identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that the statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements in this current report include statements regarding our evaluation of our alternatives. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future events and actions, which may vary materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Differences may result from, among other things, actions taken by the Company or its management or board or third parties (including the NYSE), including those beyond the Company’s control. Such differences and uncertainties and related risks include, but are not limited to, the possibility that our securities may be delisted from the NYSE, the possibility that there may be negative effects to the Company’s ability to consummate an initial business combination, the market price of the Company’s securities or to the Company’s liquidity due to the Company’s non-compliance with the relevant NYSE continued listing standard and to the Company in general, and potentially significant related costs for implementing the potential options available to the Company in connection therewith. The foregoing list of differences and risks and uncertainties is illustrative, but by no means exhaustive. For more information on factors that may affect the continued listing of the Company’s securities on NYSE and related actions and events, please review “Risk Factors” described in the Company’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s expectations as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to update the information provided herein, except as required by law.
