Crown PropTech Acquisitions Announces Receipt of Notice of Late Filing From NYSE

Crown PropTech Acquisitions, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), announced that it received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on April 18, 2023 indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The NYSE informed the Company that, under NYSE rules, the Company will have six months from April 17, 2023 to file the Form 10-K with the SEC. The Company can regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards at any time prior to that date by filing its Form 10-K. If the Company fails to file the Form 10-K before the NYSE’s compliance deadline, the NYSE may grant, at its sole discretion, an extension of up to six additional months for the Company to regain compliance, depending on the specific circumstances. The notice from the NYSE also notes that the NYSE may nevertheless commence delisting proceedings at any time if it deems that the circumstances warrant.

On April 3, 2023, the Company filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 (the “Form 12b-25”), indicating that the filing of its Form 10-K will be delayed. Although the Company has dedicated significant resources to the completion of finalizing its audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for inclusion in the Form 10-K, the Company was unable to file the Form 10-K prior to April 17, 2023, the extension period provided by the 12b-25. Additional time is needed by the Company to complete its review of the financial statements included in the Form 10-K in order to ensure a complete, accurate Annual Report. The delay is due primarily to additional information needed in relation to the Company’s financial statements to complete the audit. The Company is working diligently to ensure accurate disclosure in the Form 10-K and expects to file the Form 10-K no later than May 1, 2023.
