ARC Group Acquisition I Corp. received an extension from Nasdaq to regain compliance with the continued-listing rule for its warrants by February 23, 2027. Nasdaq had notified the company that the aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants was less than the rule’s $1 million minimum. Nasdaq gave the company 45 calendar days to submit a plan; the company submitted one on October 12, 2026, and Nasdaq granted additional time based on that submission.
If the company does not satisfy the rule’s terms by February 23, 2027, Nasdaq staff will provide written notice that its securities will be delisted; the company may appeal to a Listing Qualifications Panel. The company expects to complete its previously announced business combination before the deadline and plans to regain compliance by then.
