Itiquira Acquisition Corp. Receives Notification of Deficiency from Nasdaq Related to Delayed Annual Report on Form 10-K

NEW YORK, April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Itiquira Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: ITQ) (NASDAQ: ITQRU) (NASDAQ: ITQRW) (the "Company") today announced that it received a letter (the "Nasdaq Letter") on April 19, 2022 from the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that it had violated Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company had not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Annual Report") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC.

In the Nasdaq Letter, Nasdaq stated that the Company had until June 20, 2022 to submit a plan to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepted the Company's plan, it could then grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the 2021 Annual Report's due date, or until October 12, 2022, to regain compliance. If Nasdaq did not accept the Company's plan, the Company would have had the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel and to request a further stay pending the appeal.

The Company is actively working with its auditors and advisors, and intends to file its 2021 Annual Report as soon as possible to regain compliance.

The Nasdaq Letter has no immediate impact on the listing or trading of the Company's securities on Nasdaq.
