Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On June 28, 2023, Global Technology Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company” or “GTAC”), received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum of $50 million required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “Market Value Standard”). The Staff also noted that the Company does not meet the requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(b)(1)(A) (Equity Standard) and 5450(b)(3)(A) (Total Assets/Total Revenue Standard). An indicator will be displayed with quotation information related to the Company’s securities on NASDAQ.com and NSDAQTRader.com and may be displayed by other third party providers of market data information, however the Notice does not impact the listing of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Global Market at this time.
The Notice provided that, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C) (the “Compliance Period Rule”), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until December 26, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Market Value Standard. During this period, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market. If at any time before the Compliance Date the Company’s MVLS closes at or above $50 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance with the Market Value Standard and will close the matter (unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 business-day-period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)).
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Market Value Standard by the Compliance Date, the Staff will provide a written notification to the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, such appeal would be successful.
The Company intends to monitor its MVLS between now and the Compliance Date, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency under the Market Value Standard and regain compliance with the Market Value Standard. Additionally, the Company may consider applying to transfer the listing of its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market (provided that it then satisfies the requirements for continued listing on that market). However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing criteria.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the “safe harbor” provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking statements.

Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including GTAC’s ability to successfully appeal a delisting determination, GTAC’s ability to resolve the deficiency under the Market Value Standard and regain compliance with the Market Value Standard or GTAC’s ability to successfully transfer the listing of its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, GTAC’s management. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of GTAC, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section of GTAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 31, 2023, the Risk Factors section of GTAC’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed May 15, 2023, and other documents of GTAC filed, or to be filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to GTAC or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. GTAC undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for revisions or changes after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, except as required by law.
