On June 27, 2023, Brilliant Acquisition Corporation, a British Virgin Islands company (“Brilliant” or the “Company”) received a notice from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), the Company’s securities (units, ordinary shares, warrants, and rights) would be subject to suspension and delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on July 7, 2023 due to the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq IM-5101-2, which requires that a special purpose acquisition company must complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement.
