(Amendment)Notice regarding Plan to Delist American Depositary Receipts from NASDAQ Capital Market and Deregister with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

NEW YORK and TOKYO, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Pixie Dust Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") announced that its board of directors resolved, at its meeting held on October 23, 2024, to delist its American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") from the NASDAQ Capital Market ("NASDAQ") and submit an application for deregistration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company has also announced that it has notified NASDAQ of its intention to delist its ADRs voluntarily. Plans regarding the delisting and deregistration are as follows:

1.                  Reasons for Applying for Delisting

The Company listed its ADRs on NASDAQ in August 2023 to access the U.S. capital markets and raise capital through its initial public offering, while benefiting from the increased visibility and credibility of being listed on a major U.S. exchange. Since then, the Company has taken steps to uphold active information disclosure to its shareholders and investors, including the fulfillment of disclosure obligations under the Securities Exchange Act, the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and the establishment of internal control systems as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

The Company has now decided to delist its ADRs due to the substantial cost of maintaining its NASDAQ listing and the ongoing reporting obligations of the United States Securities laws, and considering all other facts and circumstances, the Company has decided to divert its financial and human resources toward its business growth. Consequently, the Company has also decided to apply for voluntary delisting from NASDAQ and deregistration from the SEC reporting requirements.

The Company plans to file Form 25 with the SEC on or about 10 days after Notice to NASDAQ, which will serve as formal notice to the SEC of our intention to delist. The delisting will become effective 10 days after the Form 25 is filed with the SEC.

2.                  Upon Delisting, the Company's shares will not be listed on any exchange.

5.          Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this press release, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, financial condition, business strategies and plans, market opportunity, competitive position, industry environment, and potential growth opportunities. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "may", "will", "should", "believe", "expect", "could", "intend", "plan", "anticipate", "estimate", "continue", "predict", "project", "potential", "target," "goal" or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, they are inherently subject to significant business, competitive, economic, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including, among others, those discussed in our most recent annual report for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2024, filed under cover of Form 20-F with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, under the headings "Risk Factors", "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects", and "Business Overview" may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this annual report. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this press release include our expectations regarding our revenue, expenses, and other operating results.
