• Ineligible for Second Grace Period

  The Company is not eligible for a second 180-day grace period as it does not comply with Nasdaq's minimum stockholders' equity requirement for initial listing.

• Intent to Request Hearing

  Aeries Technology intends to timely request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which will stay any further delisting action pending the Panel's decision.

This 8-K marks a critical escalation in Aeries Technology's struggle to maintain its Nasdaq listing. While delisting risks were previously disclosed, this filing confirms the expiration of the grace period and the company's failure to regain compliance. Crucially, the company is not eligible for a second 180-day grace period due to non-compliance with minimum stockholders' equity requirements, leaving a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel as its primary recourse. A delisting would severely impact the company's liquidity and investor appeal, potentially forcing it to trade on over-the-counter markets. Investors should monitor the outcome of the Panel hearing closely.
