Summary
Nasdaq Texas is rolling out a cool new package of free services for some companies that list with them.

Companies thinking about listing or already listed should keep an eye on this to grab these freebies and boost their market game.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
One-Year Free Services for New Listings
Nasdaq Texas will offer a complimentary one-year service to companies listed on the Exchange on the date of approval of this rule and to companies that list on the Exchange on or before March 31, 2027. Eligible companies may choose one service option at no charge for one year under the terms described in the filing.
Three Service Options And Their Values
Eligible companies may choose one of three services for the complimentary year: Monthly Stock Surveillance (approximate retail value $33,500 per year), Select Global Targeting (approximate retail value $37,500 per year), or Market Analytic Tools (approximate retail value $32,500 per year for two users; alternative two-user value $26,000 if already subscribed).
Use, Start Date, And Irrevocable Choice Rules
If an eligible company begins using a chosen service within 30 days after its listing date or the date of approval (as applicable), the complimentary one-year period starts on first use; otherwise the complimentary period starts on the listing date. Once a company elects a service it cannot later switch to a different service, and there is no refund or credit if the company does not use the service during the applicable time period.
Voluntary Program; No Listing Condition
The Exchange states that use of these complimentary services is voluntary and not a condition of listing. At the end of the complimentary term, companies may choose to renew or discontinue the services, and discontinuing the services does not affect the company's continued listing on the Exchange.
