Oak Woods Acquisition Corporation Receives Notification of Deficiency from Nasdaq Related to Delayed Filing of Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

New York, May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oak Woods Acquisition Corporation. (Nasdaq: OAKU) (the “Company”) today announced it received a delinquency notification letter from Nasdaq on May 27, 2025, which indicated that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of the delayed filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025 (the “Quarterly Report”). The Nasdaq Listing Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq.

The Notice states that the Company has 60 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance and if the Nasdaq accepts such plan, the Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Quarterly Report’s due date, or until November 17, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance. The Notification Letter does not impact the Company’s listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market at this time.

The Company is currently in the final stages of completing work on its 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. While the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, it is working diligently with its independent registered public accounting firm to complete the remaining audit procedures. The delay in filing is not due to any disagreement with the Company's auditors and the Company expects to file the Form 10-Q promptly upon completion of the audit review process.
