K&F Growth Acquisition Corp. II Notified of Nasdaq Compliance Deficiency

What Happened

• K&F Growth Acquisition Corp. II (KFII) announced on an 8‑K that it received a written notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department on August 19, 2026, stating the company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2), which requires at least 400 total holders for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The notice is a deficiency notification, not an immediate delisting, and as of August 21, 2026 the company’s Class A ordinary shares continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “KFII.”

Key Details

• Notice received: August 19, 2026.
• Rule cited: Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) — minimum of 400 Total Holders.
• Cure process: Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance; if Nasdaq accepts the plan, it may grant up to 180 calendar days from the notice date to demonstrate compliance.
• Next steps: If Nasdaq does not accept a plan, the company may appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel; the company said it will evaluate options to regain compliance or consider transferring its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Why It Matters

• For investors: this is a formal deficiency that could lead to delisting proceedings if not resolved, which can affect liquidity and share price. The notice does not affect trading immediately, but the company must act within the specified cure periods to avoid escalation. The filing also includes standard forward‑looking caution about uncertainty in outcomes and possible effects on the business and stock.
