Nasdaq IPO/Uplist Listing Liquidity Rule
On December 12, 2024 Nasdaq filed a proposal to change Listing Rules 5405 and 5505 so that a company listing on the Nasdaq Global Market or Nasdaq Capital Market in connection with an initial public offering must meet the minimum Market Value of Unrestricted Publicly Held Shares requirement solely from the proceeds of that offering. The proposal would also make the same change for companies that uplist from the U.S. over-the-counter market when those uplists occur in conjunction with a public offering.
