| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
As previously announced, Liberty Resources Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a written notice (the “Public Float Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on June 15, 2023 notifying the Company that it no longer met the minimum 1,100,000 publicly held shares required for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(B) (the “Public Float Standard”) and providing the Company 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance.
The Company submitted a compliance plan for the Public Float Standard (the “Compliance Plan”) on July 28, 2023. On August 14, 2023, Nasdaq sent to the Company written notice confirming Nasdaq’s grant to the Company of an extension to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(B). On or before December 12, 2023 (the “Deadline”), the Company must file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and submit to Nasdaq a document containing the Company’s current total shares outstanding and a beneficial ownership table in accordance with the SEC proxy rules that also reflects the compliance with the Public Float Standard. If the Company does not satisfy the terms of the Compliance Plan by the Deadline, Nasdaq will notify the Company that its securities will be delisted, subject to appeal.
As previously announced, the Public Float Notice serves only as a notification of deficiency and not of imminent delisting, and it has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq. While the Company is exercising diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Public Float Standard.
