Jensyn Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:JSYNU) Files An 8-K Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
Item 3.01.
On March 4, 2019, Jensyn Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that it was no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Rules’).
In the Notice, Nasdaq advised the Company that, to Rule IM-5101-2, a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) must complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of the SPAC’s initial public offering (the “Business Combination Requirement”). Since the Company’s registration statement became effective on March 2, 2016, it was required to complete its initial business combination by no later than March 2, 2019. Such rule also provides that if the Company does not comply with the above requirement, Nasdaq will issue a Staff Delisting Determination under Rule 5810 to delist the Company’s securities.
Accordingly, Nasdaq has advised the Company that its securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market and, unless the Company requests an appeal of such determination, its securities will be suspended from trading at the opening of business on March 13, 2019 and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission removing the Company’s securities from listing and registration on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company has appealed the delisting determination, thus avoiding the proposed suspension of trading on March 13, 2019.
As previously announced, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement with respect to a proposed business combination with Peck Electric Co. and, as part of its appeal of the Staff’s delisting determination, has requested a hearing with a Nasdaq Hearings Panel to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. The Company plans to submit a plan for regaining compliance with the Business Combination requirement which will demonstrate that the proposed business combination with Peck Electric Co. can be completed within 180 days of the date of the Notice.
