Successful Application to Nasdaq Stock Exchange for VSAC to Migrate to the Nasdaq Capital Market

Vision Sensing Acquisition Corp. (“VSAC” or “the Company”), previously announced, on January 23, 2024, that VSAC had received a staff determination letter, on January 17, 2024, from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying the Company of the determination from the Nasdaq Staff (the “Staff”) to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market and that VSAC had submitted a request to appeal Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel. On January 26, 2024, VSAC issued a further press release announcing that, on January 24, 2024, VSAC was notified, by a Nasdaq Hearings Advisor, that the hearing is scheduled to be held on April 4, 2024.

On, February 7, 2024, the Company filed the outstanding 10-Q and regained compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

On April 4, 2024, the Company met with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (“Panel”) and the Company management addressed Staff’s concerns regarding timing issues in the business combination and presented a viable, concrete plan to regain compliance within the Panel’s discretionary period while continuing to pursue a business combination.

On April 17, 2024, the Panel granted the request of VSAC to continue its listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market subject to the condition that on or before July 15, 2024, the Company will transfer its listing from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market and comply with all the applicable listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company must provide prompt notification of any significant events that occur during this period that may affect the Company’s compliance with the Nasdaq requirements, and the Nasdaq Hearing Panel reserves the right to reconsider the extension based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the panel, make continued listing of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted. The Company intends to vigorously pursue its plan to return to compliance with the Nasdaq listing criteria on or prior to July 15, 2024.

On July 9, 2024, VSAC filed an Application to Nasdaq Stock Exchange to migrate VSAC’s listing from the Global Marke to the Capital Market.

On July 12, 2024, VSAC provided Nasdaq with stockholder reports confirming that VSAC has enough public shareholders to meet the Nasdaq Capital Market Total Holders Requirement.

On July 12, 2024. VSAC converted 2,530,000 Series B shares into Series A shares. The conversion of the Series B shares into Series A shares and a migration of the Company to the Nasdaq Capital Market would bring the Company into compliance with the Market Value of Listed Securities Requirement of the Capital Market.

On July 17, 2024, Nasdaq Staff approved VSAC’s application to move to the Capital Market, effective as of July 19, 2024.

The press release shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in the filing.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) is provided for informational purposes only and contains information with respect to a proposed business combination (the “Proposed Business Combination”) among VSAC and Newsight. No representations or warranties, express or implied are given in, or in respect of, this Current Report. In addition, this Current Report does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that may be required to make a full analysis of the Proposed Business Combination.

This Current Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. VSAC’s and Newsight’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “might” and “continues,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, VSAC’s and Newsight’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside of the control of VSAC or Newsight and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include but are not limited to: (i) the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the Transactions, (ii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to a failure of the conditions to or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (iii) the ability of Newsight to meet Nasdaq listing standards following the Transactions and in connection with the consummation thereof; (iv) the occurrence of a material adverse change with respect to the financial position, performance, operations or prospects of Newsight or VSAC; (v) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination or risk relating to the uncertainty of any prospective financial information of Newsight; (vi) the failure of Newsight to meet projected development and production targets; (vii) the possibility that the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors, and (viii) other risks and uncertainties described herein and other reports and other public filings with the SEC by VSAC, including VSAC’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2023 (the”10-K”), or that Newsight has filed or intends to file with the SEC, including in the Registration Statement. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither VSAC nor Newsight presently know, or that VSAC and Newsight currently believe are immaterial, that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. To the fullest extent permitted by law in no circumstances will Newsight, VSAC or any of their respective subsidiaries, interest holders, affiliates, representatives, partners, directors, officers, employees, advisers or agents be responsible or liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or loss of profit arising from the use of this Current Report, its contents, its omissions, reliance on the information contained within it, or on opinions communicated in relation thereto or otherwise arising in connection therewith. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing VSAC’s and Newsight’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report. VSAC and Newsight undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made except as required by law or applicable regulation.

Additional Information About the Proposed Business Combination and Where to Find It

In connection with the Proposed Business Combination, Newsight has filed relevant materials with the SEC, including an Amendment No. 3 to Registration Statement on Form F-4, which includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus of VSAC, and a prospectus for the registration of Newsight securities in connection with the Proposed Business Combination (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement has not yet been declared effective. The parties urge its investors, stockholders, and other interested persons to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and definitive proxy statement/prospectus, in each case when filed with the SEC and documents incorporated by reference therein because these documents will contain important information about VSAC, Newsight and the Proposed Business Combination.
