Insights

The delisting notice from NYSE American marks a critical setback for Athena Technology Acquisition Corp. II. The SPAC's failure to complete a business combination within the required 36-month timeframe has triggered regulatory consequences, leading to an immediate trading suspension. While the company is pursuing its announced merger with Ace Green Recycling, the delisting threat adds significant pressure and uncertainty. The potential transition to Nasdaq offers a alternative pathway, but this hinges entirely on successfully closing the Ace Green deal. With a relatively small market cap of $11.1 million, the SPAC faces heightened scrutiny and urgency to complete its business combination, as failure could result in liquidation and return of capital to shareholders per typical SPAC provisions.

This delisting action follows standard NYSE American procedures under Sections 119(b) and 119(f) of the Company Guide for SPACs failing to meet business combination deadlines. The company's appeal window is notably short, with just one week to request a review from the Listings Qualifications Panel. The concurrent pursuit of a Nasdaq listing represents a strategic legal maneuver to maintain market access, though this would require meeting Nasdaq's distinct listing requirements. The immediate trading suspension, while not uncommon in these scenarios, creates significant compliance challenges and increases pressure to expedite the Ace Green Recycling merger to maintain public market access.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- On December 10, 2024, Athena Technology Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) received a letter from the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American” or the “Exchange”) stating that the staff of NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s class A common stock, units, and redeemable warrants (collectively, the “Company Securities”), pursuant to Sections 119(b) and 119(f) of the NYSE American Company Guide because the Company failed to consummate a business combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of its initial public offering registration statement, or such shorter period that the Company specified in its registration statement. As a result of the determination, trading of the Company Securities on NYSE American has been suspended. As indicated in the letter from NYSE American, the Company has a right to a review of the delisting determination by the Listings Qualifications Panel of the Committee for Review of the Board of Directors of the Exchange, provided that the Company submits a written request for such review no later than December 17, 2024.

The Company is working towards consummating its previously announced business combination with Ace Green Recycling, Inc. If the Company Securities are delisted from NYSE American, the Company intends to seek a listing of the Company Securities on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC in connection with the consummation of the Company’s proposed initial business combination.
