Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement
As previously
disclosed, at a special meeting of the stockholders (the “Meeting”) of Bannix Acquisition Corp. (“Bannix”) held
on September 6, 2024, Bannix’s stockholders voted in favor of a proposal to amend Bannix’s Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (as amended, the “Amended Charter”) to extend the date (the “Extension”)
by which the Company must (1) complete a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or
similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (an “initial business combination”), (2) cease
its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial business combination, and (3) redeem 100% of
the Company’s common stock (“common stock”) included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public
offering that was consummated on September 14, 2021 (the “IPO”), from September 14, 2024, as extended, and to allow the Company,
without another stockholder vote, to further extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to six (6) times
by an additional one (1) month each time after September 14, 2024 by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, if requested
by the Company’s sponsor, Instant Fame, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the
applicable deadline date, until March 14, 2025, or a total of up to six (6) months after September 14, 2024, unless the closing of a business
combination shall have occurred prior thereto
Also,
as previously disclosed, if an Extension is implemented, the sponsor of Bannix, Sponsor or its designees will deposit into the trust account,
as a loan, the lesser of (x) $25,000 or (y) $0.05 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares outstanding (the “Contribution”),
in connection with each Extension.
On
September 13, 2024, the Board, at the request of the Sponsor, determined to implement the
nineteenth Extension and to extend the Deadline Date for an additional month to October 14, 2024. The $16,237.40 for the nineteenth Extension
was provided to the trust on September 13, 2024.
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to
Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On September 13, 2024, Bannix Acquisition Corp. (the
“Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)
stating that, because the Company did not complete a business combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of its initial public
offering (IPO) registration statement, the Company’s securities are subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market under Nasdaq
Listing Rule IM-5101-2.
The letter further stated that unless the Company appeals
Nasdaq’s determination by September 20, 2024, trading of the Company’s securities will be suspended at the opening of business
on September 24, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to remove the
Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.
The Company intends to appeal Nasdaq’s determination
to a Hearings Panel, which will stay the suspension of trading of the Company’s securities pending the Panel’s decision. The
Company is preparing a compliance plan and will provide further details as they become available. The Company plans to present its views
with respect to continued listing to the Hearings Panel at a hearing. Throughout this process, the Company’s securities will
continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “BNIX”. There can be no assurance that the Hearings Panel will grant the Company’s
request for continued listing or that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements
