Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I Receives NASDAQ Notification of Noncompliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1)

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I (Nasdaq: IVCB) (the “Company”) announced today that on April 19, 2023, it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of it not having timely filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The Nasdaq notification letter provides the Company with 60 calendar days, or until June 20, 2023, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance in accordance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. If the Company’s plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 days, or until October 16, 2023, for the Company to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Pane under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a). The Nasdaq notification letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

The Company does not currently expect submission of a compliance plan will be necessary as it anticipates filing its 2022 10-K prior to the expiration of the 60 day period. The Company anticipates that it will fully regain compliance with the NASDAQ continued listing requirements upon such filing of its 2022 10-K.
