Nocturne Acquisition Expects the Nasdaq Stock Market to File Form 25 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to Delist its Securities Nocturne Acquisition Corp. (‘Nocturne’ or the ‘Company’) announced that it will be unable to complete an initial business combination with Cognos Therapeutics Inc. (‘Cognos’) and intends to liquidate the Trust Account. In connection with the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Company will redeem all of the outstanding public shares of common stock (the ‘Public Shares’) at a per-share redemption price of approximately $11.79, after taking into account the removal of a portion of the accrued interest in the Trust Account to pay taxes and dissolution expenses. As of the close of business on or about April 18, 2024, the Public Shares will be deemed cancelled and stockholders will have the right to receive the redemption amount. In order to provide for the disbursement of funds from the Trust Account, the Company has instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (‘Continental’), the trustee of the Trust Account, to take all necessary actions to liquidate the Trust Account. Record holders will receive their pro rata portion of the proceeds of the Trust Account by delivering their Public Shares to Continental, the Company's transfer agent. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in ‘street name,’ however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the redemption amount. The redemption of the Public Shares is expected to be completed on or about April 18, 2024. The Company’s sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to its founder shares and private units. The Company expects that the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC will file a Form 25 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘SEC’) to delist the Company’s securities. The Company thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Announcement • Apr 04

Nocturne Acquisition Receives Letter from the Listing Qualifications Department Staff of the Nasdaq as the Company No Longer Meets the Minimum 500,000 Publicly Held Shares Required for Continued Listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) On May 31, 2023, Nocturne Acquisition Corporation received a letter (the “Public Float Notice”) from the listing qualifications department staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it no longer meets the minimum 500,000 publicly held shares required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) (the “Public Float Standard”). The Public Float Notice stated that the Company has until July 17, 2023 to provide Nasdaq with a specific plan to achieve and sustain compliance with all Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements, including the time frame for completion of its plan. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. On April 3, 2023 at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the Company, in conjunction with a vote of the shareholders in favor of amending the organizational documents of the Company to extend the amount of time the Company has to complete a combination transaction (the “Extension Vote”), offered its shareholders the right to redeem public shares. The Company is in the process of confirming whether it currently satisfies the Public Float Standard, but believes that if it does not, the redemption of public shares in conjunction with the Extension Vote is what would have caused the Company to no longer be in compliance with the Public Float Standard. If the Company currently does not satisfy the Public Float Standard, it is expected that the surviving company in the Company’s previously announced, pending initial business combination with Cognos Therapeutics Inc. would satisfy the Public Float Standard immediately following the consummation of the initial business combination. The Public Float Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities, and the Company’s securities continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to provide Nasdaq, on or prior to July 17, 2023, with the Company’s plan to meet the Public Float Standard, and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Public Float Standard. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance under the Public Float Standard, or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
