NWTN Receives Nasdaq Staff Delisting Determination for Non-Compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1)

/EIN News/ -- DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NWTN Inc. (Nasdaq: NWTN), a Dubai-headquartered Intelligent New Energy Vehicles (NEV) and smart technology company (“NWTN” or the “Company”), today announced that it received a determination notice from the staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that as a result of the Company’s failure to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), the Company’s securities will be delisted from Nasdaq in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5814(d)(4)(B) (the “Delisting Determination”). Unless the Company requests an appeal of the delist determination by May 28, 2025, trading of the Company’s ordinary shares and warrants will be suspended at the opening of business on May 30, 2025 and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

The Delisting Determination does not result in the immediate suspension of trading or delisting of the Company’s securities, and the Company has requested (i) a hearing to appeal the Delisting Determination and (ii) an extended stay of the trading suspension until a Nasdaq Hearings Panel has rendered a decision on the appeal. There can be no assurance that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or stay the suspension of the Company’s securities.

The Company recognizes that trust is earned through transparency and adherence to robust standards, and that its shareholders deserve consistent and transparent financial disclosures. The Company is committed to implementing an enhanced governance framework that delivers timely and accurate reporting. The Company filed its Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 on April 28, 2025 and its interim report for the six months ended June 30, 2024 on May 12, 2025, and it is working diligently to file the 2024 Annual Report as soon as practicable. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with this requirement or will otherwise maintain compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
