On January 22, 2023, Deep Medicine Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, following the stockholder redemptions at the Company’s last stockholder meeting, the Company is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5450(b)(2), due to the Company’s failure to meet the minimum 1,100,000 publicly held shares requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market.

The Notice states that the Company has until March 9, 2023 to submit a plan to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5450(b)(2). The Company is exploring all options to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5450(b)(2).The Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5450(b)(2) within the required timeframe. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance with Listing Rule 5450(b)(2). If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
