• Registration Statement Abandoned

  After remaining on file for over nine months without becoming effective, Chi Special Acquisition Corp.'s registration statement (File No. 333-284589) was declared abandoned by the SEC when the company failed to respond to a Rule 479 notice.

• Capital Raising Blocked

  The abandonment order prevents the company from selling securities under this registration, eliminating a potential lifeline at a time when the company has only $5,618 in cash and a going concern warning.

• Regulatory Non-Responsiveness

  The company's failure to respond to the SEC's notice under Rule 479 suggests either an inability or unwillingness to pursue the registration, raising further governance concerns.

• Survival Risk Intensifies

  With the registration abandoned, the company's already critical cash position and going concern status become even more precarious, as alternative financing options may be limited.

The SEC has declared Chi Special Acquisition Corp.'s registration statement abandoned after it sat inactive for over nine months and the company failed to respond to a Rule 479 notice. This effectively kills the company's ability to raise capital through that registration, which is catastrophic given the going concern warning, material internal control weaknesses, and just $5,618 in cash disclosed in the recent 10-K. Without access to public markets, the company's survival is in serious doubt.
