• Nasdaq Deficiency Notice Received

  On April 6, 2026, DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation received a letter from Nasdaq indicating non-compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(2), which requires a minimum of 400 total public holders for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market.

• Compliance Plan Deadline

  The company has 45 calendar days, until May 21, 2026, to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the minimum public holders rule.

• Potential Delisting or Transfer

  While not an imminent delisting, failure to regain compliance could lead to an appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel or a transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market. The company cannot assure it will regain compliance.

• Context of Prior Financial Distress

  This deficiency follows a recent 10-K filing (March 25, 2026) where the auditor expressed substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, citing massive share redemptions that depleted its trust account, which likely contributed to the current public holder shortfall.

This 8-K filing signals a critical escalation of the company's financial distress, directly following the 'going concern' warning in its recent 10-K. The Nasdaq deficiency notice for failing to meet the minimum public holders rule is a severe blow, likely stemming from the 'massive share redemptions' previously disclosed. A potential delisting would significantly impair liquidity, investor confidence, and the company's ability to raise capital, making its future highly uncertain. Investors should monitor the company's compliance plan submission and Nasdaq's response closely, as failure to regain compliance could lead to a transfer to a less liquid market or outright delisting.
