AI Summary
Northann Corp.'s common stock trading was halted on the NYSE American on June 25, 2026, due to concerns that its 2025 10-K was filed without auditor approval. The company's auditor, LAO Professionals, resigned on June 8, 2026, and explicitly disclaimed its audit report for the 2025 10-K, stating the audit was incomplete and filed without consent.
