Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Oak Woods Acquisition Corporation reported that it received a notification from Nasdaq stating that it no longer meets the continued listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market tied to Market Value of Listed Securities. Nasdaq requires a minimum MVLS of $35 million, and the company’s MVLS has been below this threshold for 30 consecutive business days. Nasdaq also indicated the company does not meet alternative requirements based on shareholder equity or net income. Oak Woods has 180 calendar days, until May 18, 2026, to regain compliance, which would require its MVLS to close at or above $35 million for at least ten consecutive business days. The notice does not immediately affect the current listing of its units, Class A ordinary shares, rights, or warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Positive

None.

Negative

Nasdaq compliance failure: Oak Woods fell below the $35 million Market Value of Listed Securities requirement for 30 consecutive business days and also does not meet alternative equity or net income standards, creating a defined risk of future delisting if compliance is not regained by May 18, 2026.

Insights

Nasdaq deficiency notice signals elevated delisting risk for Oak Woods.

Oak Woods Acquisition Corporation has fallen out of compliance with Nasdaq Capital Market rules because its Market Value of Listed Securities has stayed below $35 million for 30 straight business days. Nasdaq also noted the company does not meet alternative continued listing standards based on shareholder equity or net income, so it currently fails all three financial benchmarks under the 5550(b) rules.

The company has a 180-day grace period, until May 18, 2026, to cure the deficiency. To regain compliance, its MVLS must close at or above $35 million for at least ten consecutive business days, and Nasdaq may extend that test up to 20 days. Until then, the securities remain listed, but investors face the clear possibility of a future delisting if the company cannot restore its market value or otherwise meet the standards.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On November 19, 2025, Oak Woods Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Company no longer meets the minimum standard for Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), which requires listed companies on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) of $35 million. The notification letter stated that the Company’s MVLS had been below $35 million for the last 30 consecutive business days from the date of the letter, and, as a result, the Company no longer meets this continued listing requirement. The Nasdaq letter also noted that the Company does not meet the additional requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(b)(1) and 5550(b)(3) relating to minimum shareholder equity or net income standards.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has been provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days, until May 18, 2026, to regain compliance. To regain compliance, the Company’s MVLS must close at $35 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, at which time Nasdaq would provide written confirmation that the Company has regained compliance. Nasdaq may, at its discretion, require such compliance to be maintained for up to 20 consecutive business days, as permitted under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H).

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
