Direct Selling Acquisition Announces Delisting of Common Stock from the New York Stock Exchange On April 29, 2024, Direct Selling Acquisition Corp. (the ‘Company’) announced that it has received a notice letter (the ‘Delisting Notice’) from the New York Stock Exchange (‘NYSE’) that the staff of NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the ‘Common Stock’) and units, each consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the ‘Units’ and together with the Common Stock, the ‘Securities’) from NYSE. Trading in the Company's Securities will be suspended, effective at the close of trading on April 29, 2024. NYSE reached its decision pursuant to Rule 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the Company did not meet NYSE's continued listing standard that requires listed acquisition companies to maintain an average aggregate global market capitalization attributable to its publicly-held shares of at least $40 million over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. The Delisting Notice also indicated that the Company has a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE within ten business days after receiving the delisting notice. NYSE stated that it will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Securities upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of NYSE's delisting determination. The Company's Class A Common Stock and Units are expected to open on the OTC Markets' Pink Market on April 30, 2024 under the symbols ‘DSAQ’ and ‘DSAQ.U’, respectively. The Company has submitted an application to have its securities quoted on the OTCQX Marketplace (‘OTCQX’). The Company cannot provide any assurance that the Securities will commence or continue to trade on this market, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of the Securities on this market, whether the trading volume of the Securities will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market or whether quotes for the Securities will continue on this market in the future. The Company previously announced its intention to voluntarily delist its Securities from NYSE and to move the listing of its Securities from NYSE to the Nasdaq Stock Market (‘Nasdaq’). The Company's decision to withdraw its Nasdaq listing application and to apply to have its Securities quoted on OTCQX was made in consideration of Nasdaq's review of the listing application and determination that the Company's Securities were not eligible for listing on Nasdaq. The Company will remain subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, following the delisting of its Securities from NYSE. Shareholders of the Company will not be required to exchange any Securities, and the Company expects electronic trading to be available without any material disruption. Aankondiging • Apr 14
Direct Selling Acquisition Announces Notification to New York Stock Exchange of Intention to Voluntarily Delist Common Stock and Units Direct Selling Acquisition Corp. (the ‘Company’) announced its intention to voluntarily delist its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the ‘Common Stock’) and units, each consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the ‘Units’ and together with the Common Stock, the ‘Securities’) from The New York Stock Exchange (‘NYSE’) and, as previously announced, the Company has made an application to have its Securities quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market (‘Nasdaq’). The Company provided notice of the voluntary delisting to NYSE on April 12, 2024, and intends to timely file a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘SEC’) to effect the delisting of its Securities on or about April 23, 2024. The Company anticipates thereafter filing a Form 8-A with the SEC to register its Common Stock and Units on an accelerated basis on Nasdaq. Although the timing of the Company's decision was driven in part by the determination it could soon fall out of compliance with NYSE listing standards, the Company has been evaluating its listing options for some time and has concluded that, for the Company, the management attention required to maintain compliance with NYSE listing standards, outweighs the benefits of being listed on NYSE. Eliminating the effort required to maintain compliance with NYSE listing standards will better enable the Company to focus on completing a business combination with Hunch Technologies Limited (‘PubCo’). The Company has applied to have its Common Stock and Units quoted on Nasdaq and expects that the Common Stock will be quoted on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols ‘DSAQ’ and the Units will be quoted on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ‘DSAQU’ on or about April 24, 2024, subject to the approval of Nasdaq. The Common Stock and Units will continue to trade on NYSE until that time under the ticker symbols ‘DSAQ’ and ‘DSAQ.U’, respectively. The Company expects that transferring its Common Stock and Units to Nasdaq will enable its investors to hold and trade its Securities without interruption. The Company will remain subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, following the delisting of its Securities from NYSE. Shareholders of the Company will not be required to exchange any Securities, and the Company expects electronic trading to be available without any material disruption. Ultimately, the Company's board of directors determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to voluntarily delist the Company's Securities from NYSE and move to the Nasdaq at this time.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: US$94.2m This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Negative equity (-US$18m). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (US$94.2m market cap). Aankondiging • Apr 02
