Part III — Narrative
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Aeries Technology, Inc.’s (the “Registrant”) has determined that it is not able to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable efforts or expense. The Registrant requires additional time to finalize and to allow its auditors to complete the review of its consolidated financial statements due to a combination of factors relating to the completion of the Registrant’s business combination on November 6, 2023 (the “Business Combination”) and related transactions, including complex accounting and disclosure analysis associated with these transactions. The Registrant presently expects to file the Form 10-K within the extension period of 15 calendar days as provided under Rule 12b-25.

Part IV — Other Information
| (1) | Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification |
| Rajeev Gopala Krishna Nair | (919) | 228-6404 | |||
| (Name) | (Area Code) | (Telephone Number) |
| (2) | Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). ☒ Yes ☐ No |
| (3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? ☒ Yes ☐ No |
| If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. |
As a result of the Business Combination and the related transactions, the Registrant anticipates significant changes in its results of operations for the year ended March 31, 2024, as will be reflected in the Form 10-K. However, until the audit is complete and the results are evaluated by the Registrant’s management and its independent registered public accounting firm, the Registrant cannot currently quantify these changes to its preliminary results of operations or financial condition for the year ended March 31, 2024.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 12b-25 contains forward-looking statements, including statements about the financial condition, results of operations, earnings outlook and prospects of the Registrant. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” and other similar words and expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the Registrant’s management and are inherently subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances and their potential effects and speak only as of the date of such statement. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed and identified in public filings made with the SEC by the Registrant.
