ScanTech AI Systems Announces Regained Nasdaq Reporting Compliance and Continued Progress on Re-Compliance and Restructuring Initiatives

Atlanta, GA, Jan. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ScanTech AI Systems Inc. (the "Company" or "ScanTech AI") (Nasdaq: ), today announced that it has received written confirmation from Nasdaq that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), the periodic reporting requirement.

Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff determined that the Company satisfied the reporting requirement following the filing of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and that this matter has been deemed moot.

In addition to restoring reporting compliance, the Company has made continued progress across its broader re-compliance initiatives. These actions include the implementation of a reverse stock split to address bid-price mechanics, the timely submission of its written materials to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815, and ongoing engagement with advisors to address remaining listing compliance matters in an orderly and disciplined manner.

As previously disclosed, the Company continues to address the remaining Minimum Value of Listed Securities requirement before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, with a hearing currently scheduled for January 22, 2026. The Company’s securities remain listed on Nasdaq pending the outcome of the hearings process.

Separately, the Company continues to actively evaluate its capital structure and liquidity position and is engaged in constructive discussions with certain creditors regarding potential restructuring, amendment, or other resolution of outstanding obligations. These discussions form part of a broader effort to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and financial flexibility. While these discussions are ongoing and no definitive agreements have been reached, management believes they represent an important component of the Company’s overall restructuring strategy.

Management believes that the actions taken to date reflect meaningful progress in addressing legacy compliance matters, strengthening governance and reporting discipline, and positioning the Company for greater stability as it works through the remaining stages of the Nasdaq process.

There can be no assurance regarding the outcome of the Nasdaq hearings process or the Company’s ability to regain or maintain compliance with all Nasdaq listing standards.
