Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On November 19, 2024, Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VI (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the $50 million minimum requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2) (the “MVLS Requirement”).
The notification received has no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until May 19, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. To regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement, the Company’s MVLS must close at $50 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to the Compliance Date.
The Company expects the MVLS Requirement to be cured as a result of the completion of its previously announced business combination with Greenstone Corporation (the “Business Combination”). If the Company does not regain compliance by closing the Business Combination or through an alternative method by the Compliance Date, the Staff will provide written notice to the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal any such delisting determination to a hearings panel. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice from the Staff and appeals the delisting determination, such appeal will be successful.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
