Fifth Era Acquisition Corp I Faces Holder Count Deficiency on Nasdaq Global Market

According to the Form 8-K filed November 6, 2026, Fifth Era Acquisition Corp I (NASDAQ:FERA) disclosed that it received a written notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department on September 14, 2026, indicating the company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2).

Under the terms of that extension, the company must file documentation from its transfer agent, or an independent source, demonstrating that its Class A Ordinary Shares have a minimum of 400 Total Holders on or before March 15, 2027.

The filing further states that if the company does not satisfy the extension terms, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the company's securities will be delisted, at which point the company may appeal Nasdaq's determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel.
