Item 3.01.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On September 30, 2026, Spark I Acquisition Corporation (the “Company” or “Spark I”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Company’s securities will be delisted from Nasdaq by reason of the failure of the Company to complete its initial business combination by September 29, 2026 (or 36 months from the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement) as required by Nasdaq Interpretive Material IM-5101-2 (“IM-5101-2”). Accordingly, trading in the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, units and warrants will be suspended from trading at the opening of business on October 7, 2026, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed by Nasdaq with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.
After delisting from Nasdaq, the Company expects that its Class A ordinary shares, units and warrants will be quoted on the Pink Limited Market operated on The OTC Market systems (“OTC Market”) under the symbols “SPKL,” “SPKLU” and “SPKLW,”
respectively. There is no guarantee, however, that a broker will continue to make a market in the Company’s securities or that trading thereof will continue on the OTC Market or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the delisting of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq, it remains the intention of the Company to complete its previously announced business combination (the “Transaction” or the “Business Combination”) with ZincFive, Inc. (“ZincFive”)
as well as the listing of its Class A ordinary shares and warrants on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange in connection therewith as soon as practicable. However, there can be no assurance that an initial business combination will ultimately be successful or that the Company’s securities will ultimately be listed on Nasdaq in connection therewith.
