TXSE proposes to drop 50-holder rule
The Texas Stock Exchange proposes to remove its continued-listing requirement that an ETF have at least 50 beneficial holders. Currently the rule is not applied during the first 12 months after listing and may allow an ETF roughly an additional 180 days, and under recent approvals another 180 days, to meet the 50-holder threshold (about two years total). The change would affect ETF issuers and investors by eliminating that specific delisting trigger for ETF shares listed on TXSE.
