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

As previously disclosed in the Form 12b-25 filed on May 17, 2021 by Galileo Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), on April 12, 2021, the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”). The SEC Statement, among other things, highlighted the potential accounting implications of certain terms that are common in warrants issued in connection with the initial public offerings of special purpose acquisition companies such as the Company. The SEC Statement also clarified guidance for all SPAC-related companies regarding the accounting and reporting for their warrants. As a result of the SEC Statement, the Company required additional time to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”).

On May 25, 2021, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the NYSE Regulation staff of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") stating that the Company is not in compliance with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the “Rule”) because it has not timely filed the Form 10-Q with the SEC. The Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities. However, if the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Rule, the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting from the NYSE.

On May 28, 2021, the Company filed its Form 10-Q and believes it is now in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements.

The Notice also specifies that, if the Company fails to file any subsequent periodic financial reports, the NYSE may, in its sole discretion, allow the Company’s securities to trade depending on specific circumstances and consider the Company’s request to continue to trade on NYSE. However, there can be no assurance that the Company may maintain compliance in the future, that the NYSE will accept any such request by the Company in the future or that the Company will be able to regain compliance if the Company is again delinquent in its filings. The NYSE may commence delisting procedures at any time during the period that is available to the Company to complete its securities filings, if circumstances so warrant.
