Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
One-Time $10,000 Dual-Listing Entry Fee
If your company dually lists one or more classes of securities on Nasdaq Texas, you must pay a single entry fee of $10,000. Nasdaq Texas will waive this $10,000 fee for companies that list on or before December 31, 2026, and any company that lists during the waiver period and still maintains dual listing status on or after January 1, 2027 will be exempt from paying the $10,000 entry fee in any subsequent year.
Annual $2,500 Dual-Listing Fee
If your company is dually listed on Nasdaq Texas, it must pay a single annual fee of $2,500 assessed on January 1 each year, regardless of the number of classes listed. The first year’s fee is prorated by month of listing, companies listed on January 1 owe the full year fee even if they delist later, and Nasdaq Texas is waiving this annual fee until December 31, 2026 (all dually listed companies will be subject to the $2,500 annual fee on or after January 1, 2027).
Rule Effective Immediately; 60-Day Review Window
The Nasdaq Texas rule establishing dual listing fees became effective upon filing on March 23, 2026, so the fees and waivers described above are in place now. The SEC may summarily suspend the rule at any time within 60 days of the filing, and comments on the filing are requested by April 20, 2026.
