Oak Woods Acquisition Corporation has received a Staff Delisting Determination from Nasdaq, marking a critical escalation in its ongoing compliance issues. The company failed to regain compliance with the minimum 300 public holders requirement by the extended deadline of February 4, 2026, a deficiency first noted on August 8, 2025. Additionally, Nasdaq cited the company's continued non-compliance with the annual shareholder meeting rule as an extra basis for delisting. This follows previous disclosures of severe financial distress and multiple Nasdaq non-compliance notices, including a specific notice regarding the annual meeting on January 21, 2026. Unless the company successfully appeals by February 12, 2026, trading of its securities will be suspended on February 17, 2026. This event significantly impacts the company's ability to raise capital and maintain investor confidence, potentially leading to a complete loss of liquidity for shareholders.
