ScanTech AI Systems Inc. Announces Nasdaq Delisting Determination, Pending Trading Suspension, and Intent to Seek OTCQB Quotation

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

Atlanta, GA, Feb. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ScanTech AI Systems Inc. (the “Company” or “ScanTech AI”) (Nasdaq: STAI),  a developer of advanced AI-powered security screening and imaging technologies, today provided an update regarding recent correspondence received from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) related to the Company’s continued listing status.

On February 4, 2026, the Company received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department indicating that, based on Nasdaq’s review of the Company’s market value of publicly held shares (“MVPHS”) for the 30 consecutive business days ended February 3, 2026, the Company did not meet the minimum MVPHS requirement of $15 million under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C). In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company has a 180-day compliance period, through August 3, 2026, to regain compliance. Compliance may be achieved if the Company’s MVPHS closes at or above $15 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this period.

Separately, on February 6, 2026, the Company received a determination letter from the Nasdaq Hearing Panel denying the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Panel’s decision, which followed a hearing held on January 22, 2026, cited non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5250(c)(1) (the periodic filing requirement) and 5450(b)(2)(A) (the minimum market value of listed securities requirement). As a result of this determination, Nasdaq has notified the Company that trading of its securities on the Nasdaq Global Market is scheduled to be suspended at the open of trading on February 10, 2026, unless further action is taken.

Under Nasdaq rules, the Company has fifteen (15) days from receipt of the determination letter to request a review of the Panel’s decision by the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council. The Company is currently evaluating and intends to pursue available options, including submitting a request for review. If the Listing Council elects to review the matter, it may affirm, modify, reverse, dismiss, or remand the Panel’s decision.

In parallel, the Company intends to apply for its common stock to be quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market. There can be no assurance that the Company will meet all eligibility requirements or that OTC Markets Group, Inc. will approve the application.

ScanTech AI remains focused on executing its operational strategy, advancing customer engagements, and strengthening its financial and compliance posture. The Company will continue to keep shareholders informed as developments occur.
