Item 3.01.

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

On November 29, 2024, Investcorp AI Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) received a notification letter (the “Notification Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s listed securities fail to comply with the minimum of $50,000,000 market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(A) (the “Rule”) based upon the Company’s MVLS from September 27, 2024 to November 27, 2024.

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has been provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until May 28, 2025, to regain compliance with the Rule. To regain compliance, the Company’s MVLS must meet or exceed $50,000,000 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days prior to May 28, 2025. If at any time during the compliance period, the Company’s MVLS closes at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

However, if the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Rule, the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. Alternatively, the Company may consider applying for a transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “IVCA,” “IVCAU,” and “IVCAW.” The Company intends to actively monitor the Company’s MVLS and will take all reasonable measures available to the Company to regain compliance with the Rule within the 180-calendar day compliance period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the applicable continued listing standards set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” and other similar words and expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the Company’s management and are inherently subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances and their potential effects and speak only as of the date of such statement. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements

involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, our ability to respond in a timely and satisfactory matter to the inquiries by Nasdaq, our ability to regain compliance with the Rule and our ability to remain current with our reports with the SEC. For additional information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, please refer to our filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements represent management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Except to the extent required by applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements made by us to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
