(the “Company”) (NYSE: KWAC.U, KWAC and KWAC WS), a special purpose acquisition company, received written notification from The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on May 25, 2021 that, because the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company does not comply with the continued listing requirements under Section 802.01E of the Listed Company Manual, which requires NYSE-listed companies to timely file all periodic reports with the SEC.
