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

 

As previously disclosed by Achari Ventures Holdings Corp. I, a Delaware company (the “Company”), on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 30, 2024, trading in the Company’s common stock, units, and warrants (the “securities”) on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) was suspended effective with the open of the market on April 9, 2024. On April 5, 2024, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) issued the Company a delisting determination notice related to non-compliance with: (i) Nasdaq’s $50 million minimum “Market Value of Listed Securities” requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) and (ii) Nasdaq’s requirement to maintain a minimum of 400 total shareholders for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2).

 

On September 5, 2024, Nasdaq issued a press release announcing that it will delist the Company’s securities and will file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to complete the delisting. The Form 25 was filed on September 6, 2024 and the delisting will become effective ten days after the Form 25 was filed. When the Company’s securities are delisted, the Company intends to proceed with its efforts to consummate the Company’s previously announced proposed business combination with Vaso Corporation (the “Business Combination”). However, Nasdaq’s approval of the Company’s initial listing application with respect to the Business Combination is a condition to the closing of the Business Combination, and there can be no guarantee that Nasdaq will approve such initial listing application, which may delay, or ultimately prevent the consummation of the proposed Business Combination.
