Item 3.01

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

 

On August 1, 2024, DUET Acquisition Corp. (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 the Company is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Minimum Public Holders Rule”), which requires the Company to have at least 400 total holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. An indicator will be displayed with quotation information related to the Company’s securities on NASDAQ.com and NASDAQTrader.com and may be displayed by other third-party providers of market data information, however, the Notice does not impact the listing of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Global Market at this time.

 

The Notice states that the Company has 45 calendar days, or September 15, 2024, to submit a plan (the “Company’s Plan”) to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. If the Company is unable to regain compliance by that date, the Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule within the required timeframe. If Nasdaq accepts Company’s Plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s Plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. However, there can be no assurance that such an appeal would be successful. The Company, by filing this Current Report Form 8-K, discloses its receipt of the Notice in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b).

 

The Company intends to monitor its total holders between now and September 15, 2024, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency under the Minimum Public Holders Rule and regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule. Additionally, the Company may consider applying to transfer the listing of its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market (provided that it then satisfies the requirements for continued listing on that market). However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing criteria.

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking statements.

Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Company’s ability to successfully appeal a delisting determination, the Company’s ability to resolve the deficiency under the Minimum Public Holders Rule and regain compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Rule or the Company’s ability to successfully transfer the listing of its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
