New York, N.Y., Dec. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Constellation Acquisition Corp I (NYSE: CSTA) (the “Company”) today announced its intention to voluntarily delist its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), redeemable warrants, each one whole warrant exercisable for one share of Class A ordinary shares at an exercise price of $11.50 (the “Warrants”) and units, each consisting of one share of Class A ordinary shares and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the “Units” and together with the Ordinary Shares and the Warrants, the “Securities”) from The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and its intention to make an application to have its Securities quoted on the OTCQX Marketplace (“OTCQX”). The Company provided notice of the voluntary delisting to NYSE on December 20, 2023 and intends to timely file a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to effect the delisting. It is anticipated that the delisting will become effective on or about January 11, 2024. 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 cost of an NYSE listing, and 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 its purpose of effecting a merger, capital share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Company intends to make an application to have its Ordinary Shares quoted on OTCQX and expects that the Ordinary Shares will be quoted on the OTCQX under its current trading symbol “CSTA”, the Warrants will be quoted on the OTCQX under its current trading symbol “CSTA.WS” and the Units will be quoted on the OTCQX under its current trading symbol “CSTA.U” on the next trading day after NYSE trading is no longer available, subject to the approval of the OTCQX. The Company expects that transferring its Securities to the OTCQX will enable its investors to hold and trade its Securities without interruption.

Key Points:

It is anticipated that the delisting will become effective on or about January 11, 2024.
The Company expects that transferring its Securities to the OTCQX will enable its investors to hold and trade its Securities without interruption.
