ALPHATIME ACQUISITION CORP 8-K

What Happened

• AlphaTime Acquisition Corp filed an 8-K (Item 3.01) reporting that Nasdaq notified the company on January 8, 2026 that Nasdaq will announce on January 13, 2026 it will delist the company’s ordinary shares, warrants, rights and units.
• Nasdaq’s action is because the company exceeded the maximum three-year period allowed for a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) to complete an initial business combination following its IPO. The company’s securities were suspended January 7, 2026 and have not traded on Nasdaq since December 9, 2025.

Key Details

• Nasdaq notification date: January 8, 2026; public announcement scheduled January 13, 2026.
• Last trade on Nasdaq: December 9, 2025; trading suspended January 7, 2026.
• Nasdaq will file a Form 25 with the SEC to complete the delisting; delisting becomes effective 10 days after the Form 25 is filed.
• The company intends to seek quotation of its securities on the OTC Markets following the Nasdaq delisting.

Why It Matters

• Delisting from Nasdaq means AlphaTime’s securities (shares, warrants, rights, units) will no longer trade on a national exchange, which typically reduces liquidity and may limit investor access.
• A move to OTC Markets can result in wider bid-ask spreads, lower trading volume, and potentially less analyst/market visibility; investors should be aware of these practical impacts while the company transitions.
• This event is procedural and tied to the SPAC time limit rather than new financial results or an announced business combination; investors should monitor future filings for any changes.
