Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On December 7, 2023, Black Mountain Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of NYSE Regulation (the “Staff”) of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) indicating that the Staff has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), units, each consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock and three-quarters of one warrant, each exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock (the “Warrants”), and Warrants, from the NYSE. The Notice indicated that the Staff reached its decision to delist the Company’s securities pursuant to Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual because the Company had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring a listed acquisition company to maintain an average aggregate global market capitalization attributable to its publicly-held shares over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $40,000,000.
The NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s securities upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the Staff’s decision. The Company does not intend to appeal the Staff’s determination and, accordingly, the Company expects that its securities will be delisted.
Trading in the Company’s securities on the NYSE has been suspended as of the date of the Notice.
Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On December 5, 2023, the Company announced that it expects to redeem all of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock issued as part of the Units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Stock”), effective as of the close of business on December 21, 2023, because the Company will not consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its third amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In connection thereof, the per-share redemption price for the Public Stock will be approximately $10.76. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The Company previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 20, 2023 that, in connection with the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders held on November 17, 2023, stockholders holding 3,055,729 shares of Public Stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account established in connection with the initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). The Company subsequently received a request to reverse the redemptions of a total of 226,749 shares of Public Stock. As a result, stockholders holding 2,828,980 shares of Public Stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, and approximately $30.2 million (or approximately $10.66 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders.
