Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On April 15, 2021, AerSale Corporation (the “Company”) notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) of the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq’s audit committee composition requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which require, among other things, an audit committee to consist of at least three members, each of whom is independent. The non-compliance was a result of Michael Kirton, a member of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), not qualifying as independent pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii).

 

In order to address this matter, the Board removed Mr. Kirton as a member of the Audit Committee, and appointed Peter Nolan, a member of the Board who meets all audit committee independence and other eligibility requirements identified in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), to serve as a member of the Audit Committee. Following such actions, the Company believes it has regained compliance with the audit committee composition requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A).
