On August 22, 2023, Magnum Opus Acquisition Limited (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from the NYSE Regulation staff of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “NYSE Rules”) because it has not timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (the “June 2023 Form 10-Q”) with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The Notice also notes that the NYSE may nevertheless commence delisting proceedings at any time if it deems that the circumstances warrant.

 

The Company is working diligently to complete its June 2023 Form 10-Q and plans to file it with the SEC as soon as practicable.

Magnum Opus Receives New York Stock Exchange Notice Regarding Late Form 10-Q Filing

 

HONG KONG, August 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Magnum Opus Acquisition Limited (NYSE: OPA) (“Magnum Opus” or the “Company”) announces that on August 22, 2023, as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (the “June 2023 Form 10-Q”), it received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “NYSE Rules”). Under the NYSE Rules, the Company has six months from the due date of the June 2023 Form 10-Q, or until February 21, 2024 (the “Deadline”), to file the June 2023 Form 10-Q. The Company can regain compliance with the NYSE Rules at any time prior to the Deadline by filing the June 2023 Form 10-Q. If the Company fails to file the June 2023 Form 10-Q before the 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 NYSE notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the NYSE.

 

As previously disclosed by the Company in a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on August 14, 2023, the Company was unable to file its June 2023 Form 10-Q by its original deadline without unreasonable effort or expense due to the fact that the Company required additional time to complete its financial statements and other disclosures in the June 2023 Form 10-Q. While the Company is working diligently to complete the June 2023 Form 10-Q and plans to file the June 2023 Form 10-Q as soon as practicable, the exact timing of the filing is uncertain at this moment.
