Nasdaq Rebukes TON Strategy Over Toncoin Deal Violation

Nasdaq has issued a formal reprimand to TON Strategy for violating listing rules related to its $272.7 million Toncoin purchase and associated PIPE financing. The company failed to secure shareholder approval before issuing stock to fund the deal, according to a recent SEC filing. 48.78% of the proceeds from the private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing went towards acquiring Toncoin, exceeding compliance thresholds established by Nasdaq.
