Flat $75,000 Original Listing Fee

The Exchange is eliminating the prior tiered schedule that charged $50,000 for companies with fewer than 5,000,000 shares and $75,000 for companies with more than 15,000,000 shares.
Annual Listing Fee Increases
If your company has equity listed on NYSE American, the annual listing fees will increase effective January 1, 2026: issuers with 50 million or fewer shares outstanding will see the fee rise from $60,000 to $65,000, and issuers with more than 50 million shares outstanding will see the fee rise from $80,000 to $84,000. The Exchange says the increases reflect higher costs to provide services and regulatory activities for listed companies.
