As previously disclosed, Metal Sky Star Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands business company (the "Company"), requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") to present its plan and requested an extension to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2(b), i.e. the business combination period requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq"). The hearing was held on September 19, 2024.
By letter dated October 3, 2024, the Company was notified that the Panel had granted the Company's request for continued listing on Nasdaq subject to the condition that on or before November 30, 2024, the Company shall obtain the shareholders' approval to amend its memorandum and articles of association to extend the deadline by which it must complete a business combination pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2.
Subsequently, as approved by its shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting which held on November 12, 2024, the Company has filed the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association with the Cayman Islands General Registry on November 13, 2024 which reflected the extension by which the Company has to consummate a business combination up to eight times, each such extension for an additional one-month period, from August 5, 2024 to April 5, 2025.
On February 12, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Office of the General Counsel of Nasdaq dated February 11, 2025 (the "Letter"), notifying the Company that it had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2(b). Hence, pursuant to the Letter, Company has demonstrated compliance with all the Nasdaq's initial listing requirements and therefore the Company's securities will remain listed on the Nasdaq.
