As previously disclosed in a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing filed by Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp. V (the “Company”) on May 15, 2024, the Company is delayed in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “Q1 10-Q”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Also as previously disclosed in a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing filed by the Company on August 14, 2024, the Company is delayed in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the “Q2 10-Q”) with the SEC. The Company received an expected deficiency notification letter from the staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) dated September 13, 2024 (the “Notice”). The Notice indicated that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) as a result of its failure to timely file the Q1 10-Q and the Q2 10-Q. The Staff also noted that the Company did not timely file its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”). While the Company has since filed the Form 10-K on August 26, 2024, the maximum extension which Staff may grant for filing the Q1 10-Q and Q2 10-Q is based upon the filing deadline for the Form 10-K as per the procedure set forth by Listing Rule 5810(F). As such, the Company has until September 16, 2024 to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule with respect to the Q1 10-Q and Q2 10-Q and the Staff’s exception to allow the Company to regain compliance, if granted, will be limited to a maximum of 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 10-K or October 14, 2024.

 

On September 13, 2024, the Company filed the Q1 10-Q with the SEC. Then on September 16, 2024, the Company submitted a letter to Nasdaq setting forth the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. The Company also requested the Staff to provide an exception, to October 14, 2024, to allow the Company to regain compliance with the Listing Rule.
