Exhibit 99.1

Preserving our Nasdaq Listing

By Axel Martinez, Chief Financial Officer

Thursday, March 16, 2023

I wanted to provide an update on Astra’s listing status with Nasdaq.

Background

On October 6, 2022, Astra received a letter from Nasdaq stating that Astra was no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules as the closing bid price of Astra shares was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. As per Nasdaq guidelines, Astra was provided an initial 180-day period (the “Initial Compliance Period”) through April 4, 2023 to regain compliance and could be eligible for additional time to meet the minimum bid price requirement. As the initial deadline approaches, I’d like to provide clarification on the timeline, process, and measures that are available to Astra to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules and maintain the listing of its Class A common stock on Nasdaq.

Application for Extension and Plan for Compliance

On March 13, 2023, Astra submitted an application to Nasdaq for an additional 180-day period (through October 1, 2023, the “Extended Compliance Period”) to comply with the minimum bid price requirement. Based on our discussions with representatives of Nasdaq, we expect to hear back from Nasdaq regarding the status of our application on or around April 5, 2023, and we are not aware of any reason why our application would not be approved.

If at any time during the Extended Compliance Period the closing bid price of Astra’s shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, either due to the performance of our stock or as a result of the company effectuating a reverse stock split, we expect that Nasdaq will confirm our compliance, which would resolve this matter.


Astra continues to actively monitor our listing status and intends to preserve our Nasdaq listing.

Our Continued Commitment to Customers and Stockholders

We understand the road ahead of us to deliver on our commitments to our stockholders and our customers. After delivering over 20 satellites across two successful commercial orbital launches, and being humbled by two commercial launch failures, we have never been more focused or determined to deliver a reliable launch system for our customers. Additionally, after securing contracts for over 200 Astra Spacecraft Engines, we believe we are well-positioned to support our mission of Improving Life on Earth from Space®.

We greatly appreciate your continued support.
