March 1 (Reuters) - Digital World Acquisition Corp , a blank-check firm that is to merge with former U.S.
President Donald Trump's social media platform, said on
Wednesday it will file an appeal against a Nasdaq de-listing
notice due to the non-payment of some dues.
"The company has elected to file an appeal of this matter,
pay the corresponding fee, and plans to pay any fees the Hearing
Department determines are due," Digital World said in a filing.
Digital World has already been facing delays in closing the
deal to take Truth Social public due to investigations on
whether the Trump-backed company broke securities regulations
and the departure of top executives.
The deal was inked in October 2021 and late last year,
shareholders approved extending the deadline to close the deal
to September 2023.
Around that time, the company's chief financial officer
and two independent directors left.
