Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On May 28, 2021, Ignyte Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) received a notice from Nasdaq Regulation (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of its failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The notice provides that the Company must submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) by July 26, 2021. If the plan is accepted by Nasdaq, then Nasdaq can grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 10-Q, or November 22, 2021, to regain compliance. The Company can regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards at any time prior to that date by filing the Form 10-Q.

As the Company reported in its Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on May 18, 2021, the Company is working diligently to complete the Form 10-Q as soon as possible; however, given the scope of the process for evaluating the impact on the Company’s financial statements of the Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) issued by the staff of the SEC on April 12, 2021, the Company is not in a position to file the Form 10-Q until after the completion of this process.

On June 1, 2021, the Company issued a press release regarding receipt of the notice from Nasdaq. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
