Mallard Acquisition Corp. Receives Expected Notice from Nasdaq Regarding Delayed Annual Report
New York, NY, April 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mallard Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: MACUU) (the 'Company') announced today that it received a notice ('Notice') from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market ('Nasdaq') stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company failed to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the 'Form 10-K') with the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC'). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 15, 2021 by the Company, on April 12, 2021, the staff (the 'Staff') of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC issued a statement entitled 'Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies' (the 'Staff Statement'). The Staff Statement, among other things, highlighted the potential accounting implications of certain terms that are common in warrants issued in connection with the initial public offerings of special purpose acquisition companies such as the Company. As a result of the Staff Statement, the Company required additional time to evaluate its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
On April 22, 2021, the Company filed the Form 10-K and believes that it has regained compliance with the Nasdaq rules.
