On February 4, 2026, ScanTech AI Systems Inc. (the "Company") received a deficiency letter (the "MVPHS Notice") from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that, based upon Nasdaq's review of the Company's market value of publicly held shares ("MVPHS") for previous 30 consecutive business days ended February 3, 2026, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) to maintain a MVPHS of at least $15 million (the "MVPHS Requirement").

In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company was provided 180 calendar days (or until August 3, 2026) to regain compliance with the MVPHS Requirement. To regain compliance, the minimum MVPHS must close at $15 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

On February 6, 2026, the Company received a delisting letter (the "Delisting Letter") notifying the Company of the Nasdaq Hearing Panel's (the "Panel") determination to deny the Company's request to continue its listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Panel determined the Company to be in violation of Listing Rules 5250(c)(1) and 5450(b)(2)(A), the Periodic Filing Rule, and the MVLS Rule, respectively.

As previously disclosed, the decision was based on the hearing of the Panel held on January 22, 2026. Trading in the Company's securities will be suspended at the open of trading on February 10, 2026 (the "Delisting").

The Company has 15 days to submit a written request for the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the "Listing Council") to review the Delisting. The Company is currently exploring options to appeal the decision. The Listing Council may also determine to review any Panel decision within 45 calendar days after issuance of its written decision. If the Listing Council determines to review the Delisting, it may affirm, modify, reverse, dismiss or remand the decision of the Panel.

The Company intends to submit an application to trade on the OTCQB Venture Market (the "OTCQB"), though no assurance can be provided that the Company will satisfy the criteria for trading on the OTCQB or that OTC Markets Group, Inc. will approve the Company's application to trade on the OTCQB.

Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Additionally, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expect," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "project," "potential," "continue," "ongoing," "target," "seek" or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events or prospects, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based on the current expectations and beliefs made by the management of the Company, in light of their respective experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and their potential effect on the Company, as well as other factors they believe are appropriate under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that it has anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are beyond the Company's control, that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including the risk that the Company is unable to successfully appeal the Nasdaq delisting determination, the suspension or termination of trading of the Company's securities on Nasdaq, the Company's inability to obtain approval for quotation on the OTCQB or any other trading market, reduced liquidity and trading volume of the Company's securities following any delisting, volatility in the market price of the Company's common stock, and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Should one or more of these risks of uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions of the Company prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ are discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" and in other sections of the filings of the Company (and its predecessor, Mars Acquisition Corp.) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and in the current and periodic reports filed or furnished by the Company (and its predecessor, Mars Acquisition Corp.) from time to time with the SEC. All forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are made as of the date hereof, based on the information available to the Company as of the date hereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may otherwise be required under applicable securities laws.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

For Immediate Release

**ScanTech AI Systems Inc. Announces Nasdaq Delisting Determination, Pending Trading Suspension, and Intent to Seek OTCQB Quotation**

Atlanta, GA, February 9, 2026 **-** ScanTech AI Systems Inc. (the "Company" or "ScanTech AI") (Nasdaq: STAI), a developer of advanced AI-powered security screening and imaging technologies, today provided an update regarding recent correspondence received from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") related to the Company's continued listing status.

On February 4, 2026, the Company received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Department indicating that, based on Nasdaq's review of the Company's market value of publicly held shares ("MVPHS") for the 30 consecutive business days ended February 3, 2026, the Company did not meet the minimum MVPHS requirement of $15 million under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C). In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company has a 180-day compliance period, through August 3, 2026, to regain compliance. Compliance may be achieved if the Company's MVPHS closes at or above $15 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this period.

Separately, on February 6, 2026, the Company received a determination letter from the Nasdaq Hearing Panel denying the Company's request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Panel's decision, which followed a hearing held on January 22, 2026, cited non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5250(c)(1) (the periodic filing requirement) and 5450(b)(2)(A) (the minimum market value of listed securities requirement). As a result of this determination, Nasdaq has notified the Company that trading of its securities on the Nasdaq Global Market is scheduled to be suspended at the open of trading on February 10, 2026, unless further action is taken.

Under Nasdaq rules, the Company has fifteen (15) days from receipt of the determination letter to request a review of the Panel's decision by the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council. The Company is currently evaluating and intends to pursue available options, including submitting a request for review. If the Listing Council elects to review the matter, it may affirm, modify, reverse, dismiss, or remand the Panel's decision.

In parallel, the Company intends to apply for its common stock to be quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market. There can be no assurance that the Company will meet all eligibility requirements or that OTC Markets Group, Inc. will approve the application.

ScanTech AI remains focused on executing its operational strategy, advancing customer engagements, and strengthening its financial and compliance posture. The Company will continue to keep shareholders informed as developments occur.
