Analyzed Economic Effects

New $5M Minimum Market Cap Rule
If a company listed on NYSE American has an average market capitalization under $5,000,000 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period, that class of common stock will be subject to immediate suspension and delisting. The Exchange says this standard would take effect immediately upon SEC approval of the proposed rule.
No Compliance Period for Sub-$5M Issuers
Companies that fall below the proposed $5,000,000 average market capitalization over 30 consecutive trading days will not be eligible to submit a compliance plan under Section 1009 to regain compliance. The Exchange notes affected issuers still retain the right to appeal a delisting decision, and the rule would be effective immediately upon SEC approval.
