Pivotal Investment Corp. III to Appeal Delisting Determination by NYSE

 Pivotal Investment Corporation III (“Pivotal” or the “Company”), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced that it intends to appeal a decision by the staff of NYSE Regulation received on February 28, 2023 to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Class A Common Stock (NYSE: PICC) and the Company’s units, comprised of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and one-fifth of one warrant, each whole warrant to purchase a share of Class A Common Stock (NYSE: PICC.U), from the NYSE.  

Trading in these securities was suspended on the NYSE after the market close on February 28, 2023. Effective as of March 1, 2023, the Class A Common Stock and units may be quoted and traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market under the ticker symbols “PICC” and “PICCU,” respectively.

The Company plans to appeal the decision by the staff of NYSE Regulation to a Committee of the Board of Directors of the NYSE, in accordance with Section 804.00 of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual.  NYSE Regulation reached its decision to delist these securities pursuant to Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual because the Company had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring listed acquisition companies to maintain an average aggregate global market capitalization attributable to its publicly held shares over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $40,000,000.
