Columbus Acquisition Corp Receives Nasdaq Extension to Regain Listing Compliance

What Happened

• Columbus Acquisition Corp (a Cayman Islands exempted company) announced in an 8-K (Item 3.01) that on July 28, 2026 it received a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications letter granting an extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Minimum Holders Rule”).
• The Company had previously received a notice on May 22, 2026 that it did not meet the Minimum Holders Rule and submitted a compliance plan on July 2, 2026; Nasdaq reviewed the plan and extended the compliance deadline to November 18, 2026.

Key Details

• Nasdaq notice date: July 28, 2026.
• Original non-compliance notice: May 22, 2026.
• Company submitted plan of compliance: July 2, 2026.
• New deadline to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(2): November 18, 2026.

Why It Matters

• The extension gives investors and the company additional time to meet Nasdaq’s minimum public holder requirements and avoid delisting.
• Failure to regain compliance by the November 18, 2026 deadline could lead to further Nasdaq enforcement actions, including potential delisting, which would affect liquidity and the tradability of the company’s shares.
