Item 3.01

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

As previously disclosed in the Form 12b-25 filed on May 15, 2023 by East Resources Acquisition Company (the “Company”) with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company determined that it was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”) by the required due date of May 15, 2023.

In connection with the foregoing, on May 24, 2023, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) because it had not timely filed the Form 10-Q with the SEC. The Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. The Company has since satisfied this obligation by filing its Form 10-Q on May 25, 2023.

 

Item 8.01

Other Events.

On May 26, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
