Failure to Satisfy Listing Rule (Form 8-K)

On March 31, 2026, Aeries Technology, Inc. (the "Company") received formal notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company's non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule") would result in the delisting of the Company's securities from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel"). The Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Panel, which request will stay any further action by Nasdaq pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel and the expiration of any extension the Panel may grant to the Company following the hearing.

As previously disclosed, on September 30, 2025, the Staff notified the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company's common stock for the 30 prior consecutive business days, the Company no longer satisfied the Bid Price Rule. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company thereafter received one grace period to regain compliance with the rule, which ultimately expired on March 30, 2026. The Company did not evidence compliance with the Bid Price Rule by that date and is not eligible for a second 180 day grace period as the Company does not comply with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which resulted in the issuance of the Staff's determination.

The Company is considering all available options; however, there can be no assurance that the Panel will determine to continue the Company's listing or that the Company will be able to evidence compliance with the applicable listing criteria within any extension that may be granted by the Panel.
