Perception Capital Corp. IV, a company specializing in gold and silver ores, has been notified by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that it is subject to delisting. The NYSE's decision, announced on November 15, 2024, is based on the company's failure to complete a business combination within the timeframe stipulated by its initial public offering (IPO) registration statement.

The company, which was previously known as RCF Acquisition Corp., had its Securities—Ordinary Shares, Units, and Warrants—suspended from trading due to non-compliance with the NYSE's listing standards. Perception Capital Corp. IV has decided not to appeal the NYSE's decision. Consequently, the company's securities will transition to the over-the-counter market and will be available for trading under the symbols "RCFAF," "RCFUF," and "RCFWF" starting November 18, 2024.

In a related development, during an Extraordinary General Meeting on November 13, 2024, shareholders approved an amendment to the company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. This amendment allows for an extension of the deadline by which the company must finalize an initial business combination. The new deadline is set for November 15, 2025, with the provision that the company must deposit $5,000 into a trust account each month the deadline is extended.

The shareholder meeting followed a proxy statement dated October 31, 2023, which detailed the proposed amendments. A significant number of shareholders, representing approximately 85.22% of shares present at the meeting, voted in favor of the extension.

Additionally, in accordance with the extension amendment proposal, Perception Capital Corp. IV offered redemption rights to its ordinary shareholders. Out of 4,777,672 Public Shares, a total of 4,444,744 were redeemed. To facilitate the extension of the term for completing a business combination, the company deposited $5,000 into the Trust Account on November 15, 2024, pushing the deadline from November 15, 2024, to December 15, 2024.
