Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On September 30, 2025, Aeries Technology, Inc. (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, for the 30 consecutive business days from August 15, 2025 to September 26, 2025, the Company's Class A ordinary shares had not maintained a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule"). The Notice does not impact the listing of the Company's Class A ordinary shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market at this time.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the "Compliance Period Rule"), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until March 30, 2026 (the "Compliance Date"), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. During this period, the Company's Class A ordinary shares will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If at any time before the Compliance Date the closing price of the Company's Class A ordinary shares close at or above $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule and will close the matter. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by the Compliance Date, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market except for the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
If the Company cannot regain compliance during the Compliance Period or any subsequently granted compliance period, the Staff will provide a written notification to the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff's delisting determination to a Hearings Panel (the "Panel"). However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, such appeal would be successful.
The Company intends to monitor the closing price of its Class A ordinary shares between now and the Compliance Date, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule including effecting a reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing criteria.
