TWLV Twelve Seas Investment Company II

Twelve Seas Investment Company II (NASDAQ): TWLV) (the “Company”) today announced that it has received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”). The Notice advised the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria established in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

As reported by the Company in its Form 12b-25 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 2, 2024, the Company was unable to file its Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The extension period provided under SEC Rule 12b-25 expired on April 16, 2024. The Company is working diligently to complete the necessary work to finalize and file the Form 10-K as soon as practicable. 

Pursuant to the Notice, the Company had seven days, or until April 30, 2024, to request a stay of the suspension and delisting of the Company’s securities, pending a Hearings Panel decision. The Company presented their views at the hearings conference today. There can be no assurance that, following the hearing, such a stay will be granted or that the Company will be able to regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing. If the trading of the Company’s securities is suspended, the Company’s securities will cease to be quoted on Nasdaq and may be traded on the over-the-counter market.
