Launch One Acquisition director Rodney Ferguson resigns, triggering Nasdaq audit and independence noncompliance

Launch One Acquisition Corp.

Dr. Rodney A. Ferguson resigned from Launch One Acquisition's board and audit and compensation committees on Nov. 4, 2026, effective immediately.
After the resignation, the audit committee has only two members, Mr. Atwood and Mr. Rogers, below Nasdaq Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)'s three-member requirement.
Nasdaq notified the company of audit-committee noncompliance on Dec. 6, 2026, and board-independence noncompliance on Nov. 6, 2026, under Rule 5605(b)(1).
Launch One intends to use Nasdaq cure periods and appoint a new independent director before expiration; no replacement had been appointed as of the Nov. 9, 2026 report.
Ferguson's resignation was not due to any disagreement with Launch One on operations, policies, or practices, the filing said.
