Re: Bannix
Acquisition Corp.
Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A Filed
February 6, 2025
File No. 001-40790
Ms. Krebs and Mr. Derby:
The following responses address the comments of the staff (the “Staff”)
of the Securities and Exchange Commission as set forth in its letter dated February 14, 2025 (the “Comment Letter”) relating
to the preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A of Bannix Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “Bannix”).
For the Staff’s convenience, the Staffs’ comments have been
stated below in their entirety, followed by the corresponding responses from the Company.
Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A Risk Factors
Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange..., page
11
1. Please update this risk factor to include recent developments regarding
notices the company has received from Nasdaq regarding non-compliance with listing requirements that could lead to delisting of the company’s
securities. For example, disclose the September 13, 2024 notice from Nasdaq that the company’s
securities are subject to delisting due to non-compliance
with Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2 requiring the company to complete a business combination within 36
months of the effectiveness of the IPO registration
statement. Disclose when you filed an appeal of this determination to Nasdaq’s Hearing Panel, the hearing date, whether the
hearing has been held, and if so, the results of the hearing. In addition, expand your disclosure of the potential consequences of
being delisted to include that the company may no longer be attractive as a merger partner because it is no longer listed on an
exchange, any potential impact on the company’s ability to complete an initial business combination, and any impact on
securities holders due to your securities no longer being considered “covered securities.”
Response
We acknowledge the Staff’s
comment regarding the disclosure of recent Nasdaq notices related to the Company’s compliance with listing requirements.
In response to Comment 1,
we have revised the Risk Factor section on page 11 and 12 of the Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A to include
the updated disclosure.
General
2. It appears that you intend to solicit shareholders to extend the deadline to consummate a business combination
transaction from March 14, 2025 to June 14, 2025 despite other disclosures indicating the current termination date is 36 months from the
closing of the company’s IPO and that you intend to extend the deadline to 54 months from the closing of the company’s IPO,
or March 14, 2026. If you intend to extend the deadline to June 14, 2025, then revise your disclosure on pages 2, 5 11, 12, 15, 27, A-
1 and B1 so that it is clear that:
• the current termination date is March 14, 2025, which is 42 months from
the closing of the company’s IPO; and
• the proposed extended date is June 14, 2025, which is 45 months from the
closing of the company’s IPO.
Response
The Company’s charter, as amended, currently provides
that the Company must close its business combination by March 14, 2025. Following the Company’s hearing with the Nasdaq Panel, the
Panel provided that the Company must complete the Business Combination by March 12, 2025. As such, throughout the proxy, when discussing
the charter, we reference the March 14, 2025 date but when referencing the Nasdaq extended date in the revised risk factor discussed in
comment 1 above we reference the date of March 12, 2025.
In response to this comment, we updated pages 2,
5, 11, 12, 15, 27, A-1, and B-1 to clearly reflect that the new termination date as per the charter is June 14, 2025 or 45 months
from the IPO.
