Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On October 24, 2023, Onyx Acquisition Co. I (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, since the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023 reported total holders below the round lot holder requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Round Lot Requirement”), the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules. The Notice does not impact the listing of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A ordinary shares”), on the Nasdaq Global Market at this time.

 

The Notice provided that the Company has a period of 45 days to submit a plan to regain compliance and then, if the plan is accepted, an additional up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until April 21, 2024 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Round Lot Requirement. During this period, Class A ordinary shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market. If the plan is not accepted, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a), the Company may appeal the decision to a Hearings Panel. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Round Lot Requirement by the Compliance Date, the Staff may provide a written notification to the Company that Class A ordinary shares will be subject to delisting.

 

The Company intends to monitor its Round Lot Requirement between now and the Compliance Date, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency under the Round Lot Requirement and regain compliance with the Round Lot Requirement. The Company may also try to transfer from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, which would require the Company to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550 at the time of the application to transfer. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing criteria or meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the Company’s ability to regain and maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b). Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and generally relate to future events or the Company’s future financial or other performance metrics. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “target,” “plan,” “expect,” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology.

 

In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by the Company or its directors, officers or employees or any other person that the Company will achieve its objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. The forward-looking statements in this Report represent the views of the Company as of the date of this Report. Subsequent events and developments may cause that view to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, there is no current intention to do so, except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the views of the Company as of any date subsequent to the date of this Report.
