HOBOKEN, NJ— Metal Sky Star Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ:MSSA), a special purpose acquisition company with a market capitalization of $78 million, has announced that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq's business combination period requirements, ensuring its continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. This development follows a series of corporate actions in response to Nasdaq's conditions. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a FAIR financial health rating, suggesting stable operational conditions.

On Monday, the company received a letter from the Office of the General Counsel of Nasdaq confirming that it had met the requirements set by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The compliance issue originally arose regarding the timeline for completing a business combination as per Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2(b). With its next earnings report due on March 7, 2025, investors are closely monitoring the company's progress. InvestingPro subscribers can access additional insights and detailed financial metrics to track the company's development.

To address this, Metal Sky Star Acquisition Corporation sought and received approval from its shareholders to amend its memorandum and articles of association, extending the deadline to complete a business combination by up to eight additional one-month periods, now set for April 5, 2025. These amendments were filed with the Cayman Islands General Registry on November 13, 2024, following a favorable vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting on November 12, 2024.

The company's successful compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2(b) comes after a hearing with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel on September 19, 2024, where Metal Sky Star Acquisition Corporation presented its strategic plan to fulfill the exchange's conditions for continued listing.

This news signifies that the company's units (NASDAQ:MSSAU), ordinary shares (NASDAQ:MSSA), redeemable warrants (NASDAQ:MSSAW), and rights (NASDAQ:MSSAR) will maintain their listing status on the Nasdaq exchange. The information is based on a press release statement from the company, which was filed with the SEC on February 14, 2025.

In other recent news, Metal Sky Star Acquisition Corp has been making strategic moves. The company has appointed Mr. Christopher John Regan as an independent director, following the resignation of Mr. Konstantin Anatolyevich Sokolov. Mr. Regan's extensive experience in the energy sector, including his current roles at KX Power and an energy trading software firm, will be a valuable asset to the company.

Moreover, Metal Sky Star Acquisition Corp has also extended its business combination period. The company amended its trust agreement, allowing for an extension of up to eight additional months. The new deadline for completing a business combination is now set for April 5, 2025.
