Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

Nasdaq Letter on Shareholder Voting Rules

On May 7, 2024, Maquia Capital Acquisition Corporation (“Maquia” or the “Company”), received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) (the “Notice”) that Maquia was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2 requiring a special purpose acquisition company must complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement triggering the issuance of a Staff Delisting Determination under Rule 5810 to delist the Company's securities. The Company appealed this ruling and provided a plan to regain compliance on May 13, 2024.

The Notice also indicated that on January 8, 2024 (as reported on the Company’s January 12, 2024 8K), the Company failed to hold an annual meeting of stockholders within the required twelve-month period of the end of the Company’s fiscal year end. The Company has 45 days to submit a plan to regain compliance. If that plan is accepted, Maquia may be granted an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the fiscal year end, or June 28, 2024, to regain compliance. Failure to regain compliance with standards for continued listing would result in the ultimate de-listing of Maquia’s common stock, ticker symbol “MAQCU”, from Nasdaq. The Company submitted a plan to regain compliance by which it must hold it annual meeting by May 20, 2024. Notwithstanding, the Company intends to include this ruling in its appeal.

These notices of noncompliance have no immediate impact on the continued listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq pending final Nasdaq determination, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements. The Company intends to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and remain listed on Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will grant any extension period for the Company to regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing.

This summary is not intended to include all terms of the Notices.
