Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Oak Woods Acquisition Corporation reported that it received a notice from Nasdaq stating it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a), which requires listed companies to hold an annual shareholder meeting within one year after the end of their fiscal year. Nasdaq’s letter noted the company did not hold such a meeting within twelve months of its fiscal year end, triggering a continued listing deficiency.

The company has 45 calendar days, until March 2, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepts that plan, it may grant up to 180 calendar days from the fiscal year end, until June 29, 2026, for Oak Woods to hold an annual meeting and cure the issue. Oak Woods intends to submit a compliance plan and expects it will include holding an annual meeting within the allowed period. The Nasdaq notice does not immediately affect the listing or trading of the company’s securities on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Insights

Nasdaq cites Oak Woods for missing its required annual shareholder meeting, creating a listing compliance deadline but no immediate trading impact.

Oak Woods Acquisition Corporation disclosed a Nasdaq notice for failing to meet Listing Rule 5620(a), which requires an annual shareholder meeting within one year of fiscal year end. This establishes the situation as a formal continued listing deficiency rather than a routine administrative reminder.

Nasdaq has given the company until March 2, 2026 to submit a plan to regain compliance, with a potential extension to June 29, 2026 to actually hold the meeting if the plan is accepted. The disclosure states that the company intends to submit such a plan and that the notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of its securities, so any impact depends on whether it successfully holds an annual meeting within the permitted timeframe.

Item 3.01. Oak Woods Acquisition Corporation Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Notice Regarding Annual Meeting Requirement.

 

Oak Woods Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: OAKU) (the “Company”) today announced that on January 16, 2026, Oak Woods Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a), which requires listed companies to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the Company’s fiscal year. The Nasdaq letter indicated that the Company did not hold an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve months following its fiscal year end and therefore no longer complies with this continued listing requirement.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(G), the Company has been provided 45 calendar days, or until March 2, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s compliance plan, Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the end of the Company’s fiscal year, or until June 29, 2026, to regain compliance with the annual meeting requirement.

 

The Company intends to submit a compliance plan within the required timeframe and expects that such plan will include holding an annual meeting of shareholders within the period permitted by Nasdaq, subject to Nasdaq’s acceptance of the plan.

 

The Nasdaq notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
