Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or
Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 31, 2023, Marblegate Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") received a
deficiency notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of
The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company is no longer in
compliance with the minimum Market Value of Listed Securities ("MVLS") of
$50 million for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the "MVLS Requirement"). This notification
has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock
on The Nasdaq Global Market and the Company's Class A common stock will continue
to trade under the symbol "GATE".
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has a period
of 180 calendar days, or until September 27, 2023 (the "Compliance Date"), to
regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. If, at any time before the
Compliance Date, the Company's listed securities closes at an MVLS of
$50 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff
will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance
with the MVLS Requirement.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement by the
Compliance Date, the Company will receive written notification that its
securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the
Staff's delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the
"Panel") pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing
Rules. 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 actively monitor its MLVS and may, if appropriate,
consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the MVLS
Requirement, including in connection with consummation of the Company's proposed
business combination with DePalma Acquisition I LLC and DePalma Acquisition II
LLC, as announced by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with
the SEC on February 21, 2023. In the event the Company does not regain
compliance with the MVLS Requirement by the Compliance Date, the Company may
transfer the listing of its Class A common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market,
provided that the Company then meets the applicable requirements for continued
listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), or
maintain compliance with any other listing requirements, or satisfy the
requirements necessary to transfer the listing of its Class A common stock to
The Nasdaq Capital Market.
