Item 3.01.

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

On April 19, 2023, Global Star Acquisition Inc. (the “Company”) received a delinquency notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) due to the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”). The Listing Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The Company filed the Form 10-K with the SEC on May 25, 2023.

On June 1, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that based on the Company’s May 25, 2023 filing of the Form 10-K, the Staff has determined that the Company has complied with the Listing Rule and, accordingly, the matter was closed. As a result, the Company is currently in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules and the Company’s securities will continue to trade on Nasdaq.

As previously disclosed in the Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 filed on May 15, 2023 and Amendment No. 1 filed on May 23, 2023 by the Company with the SEC, the Company had determined that it required additional time to complete its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”). The Registrant is continuing in its efforts to file the Form 10-Q as soon as reasonably practicable and expects to do so by June 26, 2023.

 

Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

A press release disclosing the Company’s receipt of the foregoing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing (including the information presented in Exhibit 99.1) is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and will not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor will it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “seeks,” or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results, including those under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 25, 2023. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
