Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 19, 2026, Quartzsea Acquisition
Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department
of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the Company had not paid certain fees required
under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(f), which requires listed companies to pay all applicable fees as described in the Nasdaq Rule 5900 Series.
As such, Nasdaq had determined to delist the Company’s securities. The Letter stated that the Company’s past-due fee was $75,000.
The Letter further stated that, unless the Company
timely appeals Nasdaq’s determination, trading in the Company’s Ordinary Shares will be suspended at the opening of business
on August 28, 2026, and Nasdaq will thereafter file a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission to remove the Company’s
securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. The Company has until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 26, 2026 to request a hearing
before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). A timely hearing request would stay the suspension of the Company’s securities
and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision.
On August 25, 2026, the Company paid the $75,000
outstanding fee balance in full and provided evidence of payment to Nasdaq. The Company has requested that Nasdaq confirm receipt and
application of the payment, that the deficiency under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(f) has been cured and that the Staff’s delisting
determination has been withdrawn. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company has not received written confirmation
from Nasdaq that the delisting determination has been withdrawn. In light of the Company’s payment of the outstanding fee balance,
the Company does not currently intend to request a hearing before the Panel.
There can be no assurance that Nasdaq will confirm
the Company’s compliance or withdraw the delisting determination before the suspension date.
