This affects companies trading on the Exchange, making sure only strong players stick around. The change kicks in after review and aims to keep the market healthy without extra costs for companies.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
New $5M Market Cap Delisting Threshold
If a company's average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period is less than $5,000,000, the Exchange will immediately suspend trading and commence delisting. A company that falls below this $5,000,000 threshold will not be eligible to submit a compliance plan under Section 1009 to try to regain listing status.
Minimum $0.25 Trading Price Rule
If a security's close price per share is less than $0.25 on any trading day, the Exchange will immediately suspend trading and begin delisting proceedings. The Exchange proposes this Minimum Trading Price requirement to take effect October 1, 2026, and a security that closes below $0.25 will not be eligible to submit a Section 1009 compliance plan.
Authority to Suspend for Precipitous Decline
The Exchange may suspend trading in a security that has experienced a precipitous decline and is at an abnormally low level even if the security has not closed below the $0.25 Minimum Trading Price. The change clarifies the Exchange's existing authority to suspend trading under such conditions.
