Charlton Aria Acquisition says it regained Nasdaq audit committee compliance
Charlton Aria Acquisition Corp notified Nasdaq that its audit committee did not meet a listing rule from at least August 25, 2026, because a director was indirectly paid $30,000 through an accounting firm he is a partner in. The board reconstituted the audit committee on October 22, 2026, and the company believes it regained compliance that day, with no Nasdaq notice received and its securities still listed.
Key points

- On October 22, 2026, Kim left the audit committee; Wang Jo Cha joined it. The audit committee is now Stephen Markscheid, Umesh Patel and Wang Jo Cha.
- As of the filing date, no Nasdaq notice had been received, and the units, Class A ordinary shares and rights continue to trade on Nasdaq.
