• Nasdaq Delisting Threat Extended

  Nasdaq accepted the company's compliance plan and granted an extension until August 31, 2026, to meet the minimum 300 public holders requirement, averting immediate delisting. This follows the initial notice received on March 6, 2026, as previously reported.

• Working Capital Note Amended

  A $1 million working capital promissory note from the Sponsor was amended to remove its conversion feature, making it payable solely in cash and providing operational funds. This provides some support amidst the company's previously disclosed working capital deficit.

This 8-K provides a critical update on Artius II Acquisition Inc.'s compliance status with Nasdaq. The acceptance of the company's plan and the extension until August 31, 2026, to regain compliance with the public holders requirement offers a temporary reprieve from immediate delisting. This development is crucial for the SPAC, especially given its previously disclosed 'going concern' warning, as delisting would severely complicate its ability to complete a business combination. Additionally, the amendment of a $1 million working capital promissory note to be cash-only, removing its conversion feature, provides necessary operational funds while avoiding potential equity dilution from the sponsor. Investors should monitor the company's progress in meeting the Nasdaq requirements and its efforts to secure a business combination before the extended deadline.
