New York, New York, Jan. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Northern Star Investment Corp. II (NYSE American: NSTB) (the “Company”), announced today that the New York Stock Exchange Regulation, Inc., by letter dated January 5, 2024, notified the Company that it was not in compliance with NYSE American’s continued listing standards because the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors is no longer comprised of at least two independent members and does not have at least one member with the requisite financial sophistication. This noncompliance was caused by the December 19, 2023 resignation of two independent directors from the board, who each served on the audit committee and one of whom was the designated financially sophisticated audit committee member. The resignations were not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the listing standards discussed above set forth in the Company Guide.
