Mallard Acquisition Corp. Receives Expected Notice from Nasdaq Regarding Delayed Quarterly Report

Mallard Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: MACUU) (the “Company”) announced today that it received a notice (“Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company failed to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 (the “Q3 Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 22, 2021 by the Company, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2021, the Company’s management, in consultation with its advisors, identified a classification error made in certain of its previously issued financial statements, arising from the manner in which, as of the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, the Company valued its common stock subject to possible redemption. As a result of such classification error, the Company required additional time to prepare the Q3 Form 10-Q, and did not timely file the Q3 Form 10-Q.

On December 6, 2021, the Company filed the Q3 Form 10-Q with the SEC. Accordingly, the Company believes that it has regained compliance with the Nasdaq rules.
