Aetherium Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Notice of Additional Delinquency

GREENWICH, Conn., Oct. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Aetherium Acquisition Corp ("Company") (Nasdaq: "GMFI") today announced, as expected, that on August 23, 2023, the Company received an additional delinquency notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC relating to the Company's continued non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), (the "Rule") as a result of the Company's failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter-Ended March 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market. As previously disclosed, the Company earlier received notice from the Staff regarding its non-compliance with the Rule following the Company's delay in the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter-Ended March 31, 2023. On July 24 2023, the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) by becoming current in its obligations to file periodic financial reports ("Submission"). On August 8, 2023, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that based on the Submission, the Company was granted the extension until November 20, 2023 to regain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing rule as it relates to the untimely filings. As a result of this additional delinquency, the Company has submitted an update to Nasdaq which indicates the Company's plan to remedy all delinquent filings and has indicated the progress the Company has made towards implementing the plan contained in its update. If the Company does not regain compliance by November 20, 2023, the Company may appeal the relevant delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules.

The Company's management continues to work diligently to complete the Form 10-Qs and regain compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). If it is unable to become compliant by November 20, 2023, the Company will file an appeal pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules.
