01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. As anticipated, on August 28, 2024 New Horizon Aircraft Ltd. (the "Company") received notice (the "Notice") from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that the Company did not meet the standard for net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(3) (the "Net Income Standard"). The Company also does not currently meet alternative continued listing standards under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the "Market Value of Listed Securities Standard," which requires the market value of the Company's listed securities be at least $35 million) or Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Equity Standard," which requires the Company to maintain stockholders' equity of at least $2.5 million). The Company has planned for this event and has a proposal drafted to share with Nasdaq. The Company has until October 14, 2024, to submit this proposal to the Staff to regain compliance (a "Compliance Plan") with Nasdaq's continued listing standards. If the Company's Compliance Plan is accepted, Nasdaq will grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance. If for some reason Nasdaq does not accept the Company's Compliance Plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Hearings Panel per Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a). The Notice has no immediate effect on the Company's Nasdaq listing or the trading of its Class A ordinary shares. While there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the continued listing standards, the Company expects to cure this deficiency in the timeframe allotted.

Forward Looking Statements

Forward Looking Statements This Current Report on Form 8-K includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "assumes," "may," "should," "will," "seeks," or other similar expressions. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this communication, including but not limited to: the Company's ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing standards or maintain compliance with other Nasdaq Listing Rules; the Company's expectations regarding Nasdaq's acceptance of the Compliance Plan; the Company's expectations regarding the request for a hearing and any outcome of such hearing, if applicable; whether the Company is granted the full 180 calendar day period to regain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing standards; risks related to the substantial costs and diversion of personnel's attention and resources due to these matters; and those other risks under "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 15, 2024. A delisting from Nasdaq would materially and adversely affect the Company's ability to raise capital and its financial condition and business. Most of these factors are outside the Company's control and are difficult to predict. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. 1 SIGNATURE Pursuan
