NightDragon Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: NDAC; NDACW; NDACU) (the “Company”) announced today that it received on May 28, 2021 a notice from Nasdaq stating that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely filing of periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a result of not having timely filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”).

The Company expects to file its Form 10-Q or to submit a plan to regain compliance within the timeline prescribed by Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq’s listing rules, the Company has 60 calendar days from the date of the letter to submit a plan to regain compliance. If the plan is accepted by Nasdaq, the Company can be granted an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the original due date of the Form 10-Q, or until November 22, 2021, to regain compliance. The Nasdaq notice has no immediate effect on the trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 17, 2021, on April 12, 2021, the staff (the “Staff”) of the SEC issued a statement titled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” (“SPACs”) (the “Statement”). In the Statement, the Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions typically included in SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. The audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company’s board of directors, together with management, is currently determining the extent of the impact of the Statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related financial information (the “Financial Statements”), including the Financial Statements to be included in the Form 10-Q.
