D-Wave Quantum falls nearly 3% as earnings miss overshadows revenue beat
DUET Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:DUET), a special purpose acquisition company, announced on Monday that it has deposited an additional $40,000 into its trust account to extend the deadline for completing its initial business combination by one month. The new deadline is now set for September 24, 2024.
This extension, referred to as the "August Extension," is in line with the company's governing documents. The move allows DUET more time to finalize its business combination plans, which were initially set to conclude by August 24, 2024.
DUET Acquisition Corp., based in Miami, Florida, and incorporated in Delaware, is categorized under the "Blank Checks" industry. The company's business address is listed at 78 SW 7th Street, Suite 500, Miami, FL 33130, with a business phone number of 786-753-7867. Additionally, the company has principal executive offices located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The company's securities, including units (NASDAQ:DUETU), Class A common stock (NASDAQ:DUET), and redeemable warrants (NASDAQ:DUETW), are registered with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable warrant, with each warrant exercisable for one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.
In other recent news, DUET Acquisition Corp. faces potential delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market due to non-compliance with the Nasdaq's minimum public holders requirement. The company has been given 45 days to present a plan to regain compliance, with a possible extension of up to 180 days if the plan is accepted.
If the plan is not approved, DUET Acquisition Corp. could appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, but this does not ensure the continuation of the company's listing.
DUET Acquisition Corp. is reportedly considering various options to address this deficiency, including potentially transferring its securities listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
