GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS / ACCESS Newswire / November 28, 2025 / On November 24, 2025, Moolec Science SA ("Moolec" or the "Company") received a letter (the "Letter") from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because it has not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended June 30, 2025 (the "Form 20-F") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
As the Company stated in the form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on October 31, 2025, it was unable to file the Form 20-F in a timely manner due to complexities that arose immediately after the closing of the business combination in mid-June 2025, two weeks prior to Moolec's fiscal year end of June 30. The business combination involves complex accounting, including the imposition of reverse acquisition accounting and valuation of acquired assets and liabilities.
The Company has requested a stay of suspension to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which automatically stayed the effect of the Letter until the panel hearing, which is scheduled to take place on December 18, 2025. Accordingly, the Company's ordinary shares will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "MLEC" without interruption during such stay. The Company is working diligently to complete the Form 20-F as soon as possible and expects to be able to file the Form 20-F before the hearing takes place.
This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notification.
