Exhibit 99.1

Movella Files Form 25 to Voluntarily Delist its Securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC

HENDERSON, Nevada, April 1, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Movella Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MVLA) (“Movella” or the “Company”), a leading full-stack provider of sensors, software, and analytics that enable the digitization of movement, announced today that it filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to voluntarily delist its shares of common stock and warrants, each exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (collectively, the “Securities”) from trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) in connection with its previously announced plan to delist the Company’s Securities from trading on Nasdaq.

The Company expects that trading will be suspended on April 2, 2024 prior to the market opening and that the delisting will occur ten days after the filing of Form 25. Following the delisting, any trading in the Securities would only occur in privately negotiated sales and potentially on an over‐the‐counter market. The Company expects to have its Securities quoted on a market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTC”) around or after April 12th so that a trading market may continue to exist for the Securities. There is no assurance, however, that a broker will continue to make a market in the Securities or that trading thereof will continue on an OTC market or otherwise.
