WILMINGTON, Del., April 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Thunder Power Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIEV) ("Thunder Power" or the "Company"), a technology innovator and developer of premium passenger Electric Vehicles ("EVs") whose acquisition strategy is focused on addressing strategic gaps in the EV sector with a diversified approach across the clean energy value chain, today announced that the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that after a hearing on April 15, 2025, it has determined to delist the Company's ordinary shares on Nasdaq Capital Market for its failure to comply with Nasdaq continued listing standards.
As a result, Thunder Power's common shares are expected to begin trading under the symbol AIEV on the OTC Pink Open Market operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. ("OTC"), commencing on April 21, 2025. The Company is in the process of applying to OTC for listing on the OTCQB® Venture Market (the "OTCQB") and, if the application is approved, will uplist from OTC-Pink to the OTCQB. The transition of the Company's listing to the OTC Pink or OTCQB is not expected to affect the Company's business operations or its reporting requirements under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Christopher Nicoll, Chief Executive Officer of Thunder Power, commented, "We previously announced the transfer of our listing from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, effective on March 28, 2025. However, after a hearing with a Nasdaq listing committee last week, we were unexpectedly notified of our delisting. Once we have executed on our M&A activities and are qualified, we will reapply to once again be listed on Nasdaq.
"In the near term, we are looking forward to receiving shareholder and regulatory approvals on our previously disclosed share exchange with Electric Power Technology Limited ("EPTL") (TWSE:4529)," added Nicoll. "We expect to begin generating an initial stream of revenue in 2025, which will further diversify Thunder Power as a green energy solution provider. We are excited to launch this partnership with EPTL to deliver innovative power solutions to a variety of end markets. This alliance is a deliberate next step to expand our capabilities and enter adjacent environmentally-sustainable fields as we work to bring our EV's to market. Once the EPTL transaction is completed, we will continue to pursue additional strategic M&A targets in the attractive green energy landscape throughout 2025 and beyond."
