DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corp Delisting Notice; Nasdaq Transfer Approved

What Happened
DT Cloud Star Acquisition Corp (DTSQ) filed an 8-K on July 30, 2026 reporting that Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Staff determined to delist the company’s securities for failure to regain compliance with Nasdaq rules. Nasdaq sent the delisting determination on July 15, 2026; unless appealed by July 22, trading would be suspended at the open on July 24, 2026 and a Form 25‑NSE would be filed to remove the securities from Nasdaq. The company timely submitted a hearing request, which stays the suspension. Separately, Nasdaq informed the company on April 6, 2026 that it did not meet the minimum 400 total shareholders requirement and, after the company’s May 29, 2026 submission, had previously granted an extension to October 5, 2026; the Staff now says the company is no longer eligible for that extension under Rule 5810(c)(4)(d)(2). On July 27, 2026 Nasdaq approved transferring the listing of the company’s ordinary shares, units and rights from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, effective at the open on July 29, 2026. Securities continue to trade under symbols DTSQ, DTSQU and DTSQR.

Key Details

  • Nasdaq delisting determination dated July 15, 2026; appeal deadline was July 22, 2026; suspension would have begun July 24, 2026 absent an appeal.
  • Company timely submitted a hearing request, which stays the immediate suspension.
  • Nasdaq notified noncompliance with the 400-shareholder minimum on April 6, 2026; an extension to October 5, 2026 had been granted after the May 29, 2026 submission but is now unavailable under Listing Rule 5810(c)(4)(d)(2).
  • Nasdaq approved transfer from the Global Market to the Capital Market effective July 29, 2026; symbols remain DTSQ / DTSQU / DTSQR.

Why It Matters
This is material for investors because a delisting determination signals the company is not meeting Nasdaq listing standards, which can reduce liquidity and investor access to the shares if the appeal is unsuccessful and Form 25‑NSE is filed. The company’s timely hearing request temporarily prevents suspension, giving management time to contest the delisting. The approved transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market (effective July 29, 2026) may change listing status and investor perceptions but does not eliminate the underlying compliance issues cited by Nasdaq (including the <400-shareholder deficiency). Investors should watch for outcomes of the Nasdaq hearing and any further SEC filings (e.g., Form 25‑NSE) that would finalize removal from Nasdaq.
