Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation reports that Nasdaq staff determined on July 15, 2026 to delist its securities from the Nasdaq Global Market after the company did not regain compliance with a Nasdaq Listing Rule. The company has submitted a timely hearing request, which stays the planned trading suspension and delisting process.

Separately, Nasdaq had previously notified Cloud Star on April 6, 2026 that it failed the minimum 400 total shareholders requirement under Listing Rule 5450(a)(2); an extension to October 5, 2026 was later revoked under Listing Rule 5810(C)(4)(d)(2), creating an additional basis for delisting. On July 27, 2026, Nasdaq approved transferring the company’s ordinary shares, units and rights from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, effective July 29, 2026, where they continue trading under the symbols DTSQ, DTSQU and DTSQR.

• Transfer to Nasdaq Capital Market approved: On July 27, 2026 Nasdaq approved moving Cloud Star’s shares, units and rights to the Nasdaq Capital Market effective July 29, 2026, allowing continued trading under symbols DTSQ, DTSQU and DTSQR.

Nasdaq Global Market market

"its securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market"

The Nasdaq Global Market is a section of the stock exchange where larger, well-established companies are listed and publicly traded. It functions like a marketplace where investors can buy and sell shares of these companies, providing them with access to capital and opportunities for growth. Its role is important because it helps investors identify and invest in reputable companies with strong financial backgrounds.

Nasdaq Capital Market market

"transfer of the listing ... to the Nasdaq Capital Market"

The Nasdaq Capital Market is a platform where smaller, emerging companies can list their shares for trading by investors. It provides these companies with access to funding and visibility, helping them grow, much like a local marketplace where new vendors can introduce their products to potential customers. For investors, it offers opportunities to discover early-stage companies with growth potential.

Form 25-NSE regulatory

"a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission"

Form 25‑NSE is an official filing used to notify the stock exchange that a company’s securities are being removed from trading on that exchange, similar to handing in a key when a shop closes. Investors care because removal ends public trading on that venue, often cutting liquidity and making it harder to buy or sell shares, which can affect a stock’s price and how quickly investors can access cash or exit positions.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) regulatory

"minimum 400 total shareholders requirement ... under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2)"

Listing Rule 5810(C)(4)(d)(2) regulatory

"Pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(C)(4)(d)(2), the Company is no longer eligible"

Item 8.01 Other Events.

DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”), as previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20, 2026, received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on July 15, 2026 stating that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities due to the Company’s failure to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule. Accordingly, its securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market. In that regard, unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination by July 22, 2026, trading of the Company’s will be suspended at the opening of business on July 24, 2026, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Additionally, on April 6, 2026, the Company was notified by Staff that it did not comply with the minimum 400 total shareholders requirement for continued inclusion under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2).
