Item 3.01

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

Extension of the Termination Date

On December 10, 2024, Globalink Investment Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2, which requires a special purpose acquisition company to complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement. Since the Company failed to complete its initial business combination by December 6, 2024, the Company did not comply with IM-5101-2, which triggered the issuance of a delisting determination from Nasdaq to delist the Company’s securities.

According to the Notice, the Company’s common stock, warrants, rights and units will be suspended at the opening of business on December 17, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. The Company does not intend to appeal this ruling.

The Company plans to transfer its securities, including common stock, warrants, rights and units, to OTC Pink for quotation under the same ticker symbols following the delisting of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq.

As previously disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K of the Company, dated May 24, 2024, on May 20, 2024, the Company, Alps Global Holding Pubco, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PubCo”), Alps Biosciences Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub”), Alps Life Sciences Inc, a Cayman Islands company (“Alps Holdco”), GL Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in the capacity as the representative for the stockholders of the Company (the “Parent Representative”), and Dr. Tham Seng Kong, an individual, in the capacity as the representative for the shareholders of Alps (the “Seller Representative”) entered into an amended and restated merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), which contemplates a business combination between the Company and Alps Holdco (the “Business Combination”). Following the delisting of its securities, the Company expects to continue proceeding with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
