| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On January 11, 2023, ScION Tech Growth II (the “Company”) received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was deficient in meeting the requirements of Listing Rule 5620(a), which requires the Company to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the Company’s 2021 fiscal year-end. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(G), the Company has 45 calendar days (or until February 27 2023) (the “Compliance Period”) to submit a plan to regain compliance and, if Nasdaq accepts the plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from its fiscal year end, or until June 29 2023, to regain compliance. While the plan is pending, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on Nasdaq.
The Company anticipates that its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Public Shares”), units and warrants will be delisted from Nasdaq prior to the expiry of the Compliance Period in connection with the redemption of the Public Shares (as further described in the press release dated January 24, 2023, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1). Accordingly, the Company does not intend to submit a compliance plan within the Compliance Period.
