Sagaliam Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: "SAGAU", "SAGA", "SAGAR") ("we", "us", "our", or the "Company") announced today that it received a delinquency notification letter ("Notice") from the Listing Qualifications staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") on April 19, 2023 due to the Company's non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of the Company's failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Form 10-K"). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

The Notice states that the Company has 60 calendar days to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan, then Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the prescribed due date for filing the Form 10-K or until October 16, 2023, to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company's plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

As previously disclosed, the Company requires additional time to prepare, review and finalize its financial statements, and its auditors have not completed their audit of the financial statements. The Company is continuing in its efforts to file the Form 10-K as soon as reasonably practicable.

This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(b)(2).
