BurTech Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:BRKH), a semiconductor firm with a market capitalization of $176 million, is set to be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market after failing to meet the exchange's listing standards. The company, which operates as a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), did not complete a business combination within the required 36 months of its initial public offering (IPO) registration statement, as per Nasdaq's Interpretive Material IM-5101-2.
According to InvestingPro analysis, the company shows concerning financial health metrics, with a weak overall score of 1.57 and current ratio of just 0.02.
On December 11, 2024, Nasdaq notified BurTech of its non-compliance and its securities' impending delisting. The company has chosen not to appeal the decision. As a result, trading of BurTech's securities, including its Class A Common Stock (NASDAQ:BRKH), warrants (NASDAQ:BRKHW), and units (NASDAQ:BRKHU), will be suspended at the opening of business on Monday, December 18, 2024.
The Securities and Exchange Commission will subsequently remove the securities from listing on Nasdaq. Currently trading at $11.74, the stock has shown relatively low price volatility, as noted by InvestingPro analysts, who have identified several additional key metrics about the company's financial position.
BurTech plans to transition its securities to the over-the-counter (OTC) market, where they will continue to be quoted under the same ticker symbols following their delisting from Nasdaq.
In related news, BurTech had previously entered into a Merger Agreement with Blaize, Inc., which has been amended multiple times, with the latest amendment on November 21, 2024. The agreement outlines a merger plan in which Blaize will become a wholly owned subsidiary of BurTech. Post-merger, the company will be renamed "Blaize Holdings, Inc." Although the merger has not been completed, BurTech has submitted an application to Nasdaq to list the securities of the new entity following the business combination.
In other recent news, BurTech Acquisition Corp. has been making significant moves in anticipation of its proposed merger with Blaize Inc. The company is actively seeking non-redemption agreements with certain accredited investors, aiming to secure funds in its trust account.
This strategy involves persuading shareholders not to redeem their shares at the upcoming special meeting. If the merger is approved, investors retaining their shares will receive an equal number of shares in the post-merger entity, New Blaize Earnout Shares, based on a specific performance trigger.
In addition, BurTech has extended the deadline for a business combination from December 2024 to May 2025, allowing more time to finalize its merger or acquisition. This extension comes with an amendment permitting the company to deposit a specific amount into the trust account for each month the deadline is extended.
