Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

 

On April 3 2023, Western Acquisition Ventures Corp. (the “Company”) received a notice in the form of a letter (the “Notice”) from the listing qualifications department staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Minimum Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum of $50 million required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq listing rule 5450(b)(2)(A).

 

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, warrants and units, and the Company’s common stock continues to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “WAVS,” “WAVSW” and “WAVSU,” respectively.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq listing rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until October 2, 2023 to regain compliance. The Notice states that to regain compliance, the Company’s MVLS must close at $50 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the compliance period ending October 2, 2023. The Company could alternatively apply for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance by October 2, 2023, Nasdaq staff will provide written notice to the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal any such delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

 

The Company intends to actively monitor the Company’s MVLS between now and October 2, 2023 and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the MVLS rule. While the Company is exercising diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.
