Item 8.01. Other Events.

On ~~March~~April 314, 2022, ~~Alberton Acquisition Corporation (~~the “Company”) ~~received~~issued ~~notice~~a ~~that~~press providing the ~~Nasdaq~~information ~~Listing~~of ~~Qualifications Panel (~~the ~~“Panel”) has~~status ~~granted~~of the ~~Company’s~~merger ~~request~~with ~~for~~SolarMax ~~continued~~Technology, ~~listing~~Inc. ~~on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to a further extension~~ and ~~subject~~the related ~~to,~~status ~~among~~of ~~other things,~~ the ~~Company’s~~merger ~~demonstration~~proxy ofstatement. ~~compliance~~A ~~with~~copy ~~all~~of ~~initial~~this ~~listing~~press ~~standards~~release ~~required~~is byattached ~~The~~as ~~Nasdaq~~Exhibit 99.1 ~~Stock Market’s~~hereto ~~(“Nasdaq”) rules~~ and ~~consummation~~is ofincorporated ~~the merger with SolarMax Technology, Inc. (“SolarMax”) by~~herein ~~April~~by ~~26, 2022~~reference.

As previously disclosed, in December 2021, the Company attended a hearing before the Panel, at which it presented its plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq IM-5101-2, which requires that a special purpose acquisition company must complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its initial public offering registration statement. Following the hearing, and as disclosed on January 5, 2022, the Panel granted the Company’s request to continue its listing on Nasdaq through the original March 14, 2022. On February 28, 2022, the Company submitted a request for additional extension through April 26, 2022 because it needed additional time to prepare and include the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 for the Company and SolarMax in the registration statement on Form S-4 and the related proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the merger, which request was granted by the Panel on March 3, 2022. The Panel stated that April 26, 2022 represents the full extent of the Panel’s discretion to grant continued listing while the Company is non-compliant. As a result, if the merger is not completed and the Company does not demonstrate compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements by April 26, 2022, the Panel will issue a final delist determination and the Company will be suspended from trading on Nasdaq.

While the Company is working toward regaining compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to demonstrate compliance by the deadlines set forth above or that the Panel will grant the Company an extension in the event compliance is not timely achieved.
