Nasdaq is taking the next step to strengthen market integrity and protect investors. To balance capital formation with investor protection, we’ve proposed new enhancements to our listing standards to address liquidity and trading concerns for companies. The proposed updates include: - $15M minimum market value of public float for new listings under the net income standard. - Faster suspension/delisting for companies with compliance deficiencies and market value below $5M. - $25M minimum public offering proceeds for companies principally operating in China. These enhancements in collaboration with regulators and the public sector aim to foster a more resilient and transparent marketplace that supports issuers, safeguards investor interests and fosters public confidence for all participants.
