Oak Woods Acquisition Corp 8-K

What Happened Oak Woods Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: OAKU) announced on January 16, 2026 that Nasdaq notified the company it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) because it did not hold an annual meeting of shareholders within 12 months after its fiscal year end. The company has been given 45 calendar days to submit a compliance plan (until March 2, 2026) and intends to file a plan that would include holding an annual meeting within the timeframe permitted by Nasdaq.

Key Details

• Nasdaq notice date: January 16, 2026.
• Compliance plan submission deadline: 45 days, until March 2, 2026 (per Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(G)).
• If Nasdaq accepts the plan, it may grant an exception of up to 180 days from the fiscal year end, extending the cure period through June 29, 2026.
• Nasdaq notification does not have any immediate effect on the listing or trading of OAKU securities.

Why It Matters This filing signals a regulatory compliance issue rather than an operational or financial change. Investors should note the company must act quickly to file an acceptable compliance plan to avoid potential escalation by Nasdaq. Until Nasdaq takes further action, OAKU shares remain listed and tradable; the outcome depends on whether Nasdaq accepts the company’s proposed plan and the company’s ability to hold the required annual meeting within the permitted extension.
