Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On April 3, 2023, Kairous Acquisition Corp. Limited (the "Company") received a written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"). The notification indicated that the Company did not meet the $50,000,000 minimum market value of listed securities ("MVLS") required to maintain continued listing as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) for the 30-business day period ended March 31, 2023.

Under applicable Nasdaq rules, the Company will have 180 calendar days from the date of the notification, or until October 2, 2023, to regain compliance by meeting the continued listing requirements, namely when the market value of listed securities closes at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If at any time on or before October 2, 2023, the MVLS of the Company's ordinary shares closes at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance with the minimum MVLS listing requirement and the matter will be closed. If the Company is unable to regain compliance with the Rules during the 180-day period, and the Company receives a delisting determination from Nasdaq, the Company may, at that time, request a hearing to remain on the Nasdaq Global Market, which request will ordinarily suspend such delisting determination until a decision is issued by Nasdaq subsequent to the hearing.

In the alternative, the Company may consider applying for a transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, which requires a minimum MVLS of $35 million. In order to transfer, the Company would need to submit an online transfer application, pay a $5,000 application fee and meet the Capital Market's continued listing requirements.

The Company's management is reviewing various options available to the Company, including regaining compliance and continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market or applying for a transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to actively monitor and assess the market value of its publicly held shares and publicly listed securities. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in regaining compliance with the Rules and maintaining the listing of the Company's securities on the Nasdaq Global Market.
