# Nasdaq to delist Quetta Acquisition after missed SPAC deadline; QETA trading halts Oct 14, 2026

## Summary
- Nasdaq found Quetta failed Listing Rule IM-5101-2, which requires a SPAC to complete a business combination within 36 months of IPO registration (effective Oct 5, 2023).
- Trading in QETA, QETAR and QETAU suspends at the open on Oct 14, 2026; Nasdaq will file a Form 25-NSE to remove the securities from listing and registration.
- Quetta said it does not intend to appeal; it expects the common stock, rights and units to be quoted on the OTC Market's Pink Limited Market under the same symbols.
- The company still intends to complete its previously announced business combination with Smart Kreate Group Limited and list on Nasdaq or another national exchange, though it gave no assurance.
- The notice was received Oct 7, 2026 and the 8-K was signed Oct 9, 2026 by CEO Zihan Chen; no business combination was completed by the Oct 5, 2026 deadline.
